Sometimes it happens that the vehicles reserve us a lot bad surprises…this is what happened to the reader from AutoPlus, who in desperation turned to us to study her case… Her Dacia Sanderowhich is barely 4 years old, is asking for several thousand euros for repairs!
Dacia Sandero 2018
Attractive prices of the subsidiary company attract renault Irène C., from Champigneulles (54), purchased in early summer 2018 New Dacia Sandero 1.0 SCe 75. His car brought him complete satisfaction until June of last year. One morning, Irene borrows her husband’s car so he can go to work. He stopped at a stop sign and was about to start again when he heard a loud noise from the engine. No more system Sandero then it becomes unresponsive and has to pull the handbrake to stop the vehicle.
Engine at the price of a car!
The vehicle will be towed to the nearest dealer, who will also service it. After a week, the specialist in this field can offer the customer no other solution than to replace the engine. And a quote for 7,894 euros almost reached the purchase price of this Sandero! Fortunately, this professional goes to the manufacturer for support. When the latter announces his decision, it is another cold shower for our reader. Dacia agrees to pay only 60% of the repair cost, which leaves Irene 3192 euros pay if she wants her Sandero back in working order. But she does not understand how such a recent car, with so few kilometers and well-maintained, could have such a serious breakdown.
Our defense strategy
Indignation of Irene to Dacia quite understandable. On the one hand, because his Sandero is not yet 5 years old, and this age would allow the brand to apply the norm of moral aging. On the other hand, since the scale of our experts suggests that engine replacement should be fully supportede until it reaches the threshold 100,000 km. Therefore, Irene must continue her efforts, going so far as to start legal proceedings if Dacia is not sober.
