The Citreon airbag debacle

[Kurt.]

Any of you been affected by this ? My daughter has a DS3 and has been told to stop using it until they can repair it…. The earliest date we’ve been given for this is September 7th. I appreciate some people are having to wait much longer. The company though are refusing to cover costs for hire cars or trains etc…. Surely they can’t just not compensate owners of affected cars.

Personally, not directly affected, but have seen this on MSE website...

Got a Citroen or DS car? Your rights as 'do not drive' order issued

If you've got a Citroen or DS car, check if yours is one of the 120,000 issued with a 'do not drive' order due to serious safety concerns. Martin Lewis' MSE answers your questions on your rights to compensation and courtesy cars.

P.S. Liked the look, and perceived comfort of the new C3 Aircross but wide berth it is now.

I would be surprised if there aren't some legal eagles keeping an eye on that one.

I hope Joey doesn't have a Citreon.

Go in and have a massive on the sales counter then burn the showroom down mate.
It's what any self respecting father would do.

Thank me later.

I'm not generally interested in modern cars, but I permenantly crossed Citroën off my list of potential cars 25 years ago, when they started designing cars where to change a headlamp bulb you had to go to the main dealer who billed you something like £600 for having to remove the bumper and wing to get access. I dont give business to companies that take the piddle.

Their hydropneumatic suspensions were ground breaking but also wallet breaking if it failed.

Pull out the airbag fuse and job done.

Fair play mate; mine was a selfie of John Aldridge.
