    No kidding,we got this renault grand espace car to replace our previous new 3 month old Grand Espace,which went on fire with me inside.Mercifully I got out as was travelling alone.Normally we have four kids..
    6 months later our new replacement-the 54- arrived....
    IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE...
    Years of problem after problem...
    The clutch fell off while driving.
    The catalytic convertor cracked.
    We got stranded on holiday for three days by a mechanical failure.
    That took 8 months to sort!!!!
    I know nothing about cars but I could tell it was a fuel injection problem..
    8 months..car in and out of dealer.Mercifully we had extende warranty as compensation for the fire that wrote off the new car or we'd be broke!!
    To the day after 3 yrs the real hassles kicked in..
    the dealer was awful!!!!!!
    Then the automatic hand brake went.....
    Need I go on????
    All the while my kids missed out cause we had no car!!!!!
    I persisted because of the warranty...
    BUT.............. the car was and is a disgrace...>
    UNRELIABLE!!!!!!!AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!DISGRACE!!!!

    Renault Grand Espace 2.2 DCi Priviledge has lots of space and comfortable. However it had injection problems, I took my renault grand espace (2005) twice to check the injectors in the space of 5 months, i was told by renault one time that the injectors are faulty the next day I was told the injectors are clogged? I didn't find Renault very helpful. Whenever I steer the steering wheele to the right or left in full, to do for example a 3-point turn I keep hearing a strange noise under the car. ...

    I own a Renault Grand Espace (2002) I bought it from a local renault dealer 3 years ago. After a catalogue of engine problems which included the engine shutting down whilst driving, the dealer replaced the old engine with a brand new one. Two years on I would like to say that I was enjoying trouble free motoring but this is not the case. I had a sensor replaced in th engine last year and last week my engine has went into permanent limp mode, I am dreading taking it to the local renault daeler, b ...

    Shocking reliability, engine dies in first gear for no reason, usually when trying to pull out of a junction.
    Had a catastrophic power steering failure when approaching a roundabout on the A1. had to wrestle the wheel to get round. Could have been potentially very serious. Renaults attitude to servicing is a joke.
    Electrics are poor as well. I've been driving with a permanently flat front tyre for the last two years according to my display. It's been 'fixed 5 times' and still doesn't work.
    Rena ...

    Seats are very heavy for removal if you work and use this car for family life. Engine shows up problems quite early, remains faulty even after full replacements. Dealer Companies do try to get out of the warranty at this stage, steering assembly rusts easily, very expensive exhaust system, air cone problems are not so cool either, rear view mirror fixing lets you down when driving! Ultrasonic sensor positioning in loading areas are placed on a poor site. Radio speaker rings makes noise due to it ...

    My Renault Grand Espace has suffered repeated engine problems, had engine replaced 2 years ago, the new engine has 15k on it and I have already started to have the same problem. The engine keeps going into limp mode, the dealers don't seem to know what the problem is.

    Renault Espace iv 2.2 dci Privilege
    A very expensive car from new whose quality and reliability does not match the price tag.
    Support from the manufacturer and the main delaers is very poor. Customers are fobbed off with ghost repairs resulting in the same problems being reported repeatedly.

    We have 4 children and a large dog, and as we didnt want a sliding rear door we didnt have much choice when looking for a people carrier in 2001.

    In the end we bought the Renault Grand Espace 2.2 DCi Priviledge People Carrier, we paid extra to have the manual front sunroof converted to electric. In hindsight this was a waste of money, as air conditioning is much quieter and more efficient.

    I think this version of the Espace is good looking (despite the comparision with the A-Team van!).
