Robert's new electric car doesn't work – Renault refuses to help

Robert Uddenstig's electric Renault Megane E-Tech has been in the workshop for 11 out of the past 12 months. Now he just wants to cancel the coup.

Renault can't figure out what's wrong with Robert Uddenstig's Megane E-Tech.

In any case, the car has now been in the workshop for 11 out of the past 12 months. Still, the dealer Hedin Bil refuses to cancel the purchase.

Robert Uddenstig tells Carup .

The last time Robert Uddenstig saw something for his car, 48 hours passed, because something was wrong again. This time it pissed out a blue liquid. It later turned out to be the coal fluid.

The leak, the dealer says, is due to a tension band that was poorly fitted. According to Carup, the Swedish Renault importer is content for the time being with 'regretting' the engagement.

At the same time, however, the importer claims that they are working 'closely together' with the owner and dealer to find a solution. Robert Uddenstig hopes, however, that the dealer gets his act together and buys the car back. He will not accept anything else.

Incidentally, it is far from the first time that an otherwise factory-new car gives both the owner, the dealer and the importer a huge headache.

Around 2012, Volkswagen in Denmark and several other countries had to defend themselves against and give credit to a large number of repairs on cars with the special DSG gearbox. An automatic transmission with two clutches.

In the following years, however, the DSG gearbox DQ200 still gave owners problems. And the internet is full of forum threads and topics in which VW owners complain about the problematic gearboxes.

At the Stellantis group, there are problems with timing belts that crumble away after 65,000 kilometers. The group owns several car brands that share technology. This means that Opel, Peugeot and Citroen all have the same problem.
