Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / April 2005pug 807
anyone had any problems with the middle or rear row seats ? namely the fold mechanism breaking 2 of ours have gone within a month, car is 27 months old, so I was wondering if it's a known/common fault thanks LJ > anyone had any problems with the middle or rear row seats ? > > namely the fold mechanism breaking > > 2 of ours have gone within a month, car is 27 months old, so I was > wondering if it's a known/common fault In what way has it broken? I've had the actuating cable nipple come out of position, so the seat can be folded in half, but not the rolled forward so that it is only held into the car by the front two clamps rather than all four. Having said that, my 807 is just over 2 years old, and the worst piece of junk I've ever owned. currently it has over 30 outstanding unresolved faults (out of over 40 since delivery). Many of the outstanding issues have been present since delivery, some are as a result of the dealer's bodged attempts to repair other things. My two local dealers haven't managed to fix it, and even Peugeot UK apparently don't give a damn about customers. It's almost four weeks since I escalated it to them. They failed to reply inside two weeks, despite a claimed response time of 5 working days. When I called to find out what was happening, I was promised a call back by the end of the next day. They didn't even manage that. I've just chased it again, and been promised a call before the end of tomorrow. They appear to have done absolutely nothing in the last month.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > ours had done 160k miles when we sold it (to buy this POS), wished we'd > just bought an '02 806 instead I didn't have an 806, but have gone through most of the other Pugs; must have done well over half million miles in them, with nothing more than routine problems - replacing tyres, brakes, the odd radiator here and there, clutches etc., and always splendid service from the dealers around Manchester. I always recommended the brand, they never let me down. Then I moved down south and bought the 807. It could be from an entirely different company. The dealers are next to useless, and Peugeot UK have been no help whatsoever. I really don't want to go down the legal action route, but it looks like that will be my only alternative as no-one seems to care enough to get this sorted. I fell sick at the thought that I spent £23K with these people on this junk, and now actively recommend that people avoid Peugeot at all costs.

I reckon this comes under 'public relations' among other things. You can email their Public Relations Director at andrew.didlick@peugeot.com. He ought to be told how you feel...
