“We bought our Renault Scenic three years ago just...”

We bought our Renault Scenic three years ago just before the birth of our first child as it seemed to be one of the safest cars in the price range. It's unreliability has proved anything but safe as we constantly seem to be on the hard shoulder awaiting recovery trucks. It was an ex demo and 18 months old giving us 18 months of warranty. We have had nothing but problems with it. Since the end of the warranty it has cost us about £3500 in repairs; the garage always finds the problem and repairs it, only for symptons to reappear within the month when a new problem is diagnosed at more cost. DON'T GO NEAR THESE CARS.. they will bring you nothing but stress!

I've just bought one...keeping my fingers crossed. The back door childlocks do their own thing...somtimes locked, sometimes not.
<br>The wipers are annoying me already...they're designed for LH drive, and keep splashing water up into the driver's eyeline. And if the kids press the cigarette lighter in, when it heats up it shoots out of the holder onto the rubber mat between the seats (a real safety feature that!!!). Apart from that I'm cautiously content.

I have also owned a Scenic Dynamique for 2 years. I bought the car when it was just over a year old. Since i bought the car, I have had ongoing intermittent problems with the electrics, alarm and door locks and key fob which the garage cannot fix (or should I say don't try to fix) as they can't re-create the problem. I am in a no win situation as nothing is getting fixed. I purchased an extended warranty as I knew I would need it and sure enough it has been in several times already. THINK TWICE before buying a Renault as they seem to have loads of problems which can not be identified. I still have bleeping when i open my door ,intermittently, which the garage reply was, oh yes I have that to it just seems to happen, don't know what it is! I have had this for two and a half years and the dealers haven't fixed it. Great service they give....
