I purchased a car back in July 2016, my car is serviced every year and up to date, in October 2018 I started having problems with my car, coming up too up oil etc, this continued through the year and was last in the garage at Christmas. Literally in and out every month pretty much. So up until July 2019 it was under warranty, I continued to not pay for any faults. However these faults shouldn’t have continued to occur and I was a paying customer every month of £400 and it wasn’t fit for purpose, I was paying for the car and half of the year pretty much spent in the garage. Peugeot have shown know remorse and don’t care. The finance company is different so it’s been two battles. Has anyone experienced anything like this
