I recently (26 July 2024) bought a Peugeot 2008 1.2T from IC Auto Roodepoort. I found the vehicle online on Autotrader and I went through the description and the photos and I was pleased with what I saw so I enquired. I was phoned back by Dyllan McCullough and asked him a few questions about the vehicle like what’s the service history, was the vehicle in an accident and what was the condition of the vehicle etc. I was told by Dyllan that the vehicle was not involved in any accident, has full service history and that the vehicle is in immaculate condition. I told him to proceed with the finance application. My application went through and I was contacted by Dyllan with the news and the date that I could come through to collect the vehicle. Upon taking ownership of the vehicle I noticed a noise from the vehicle like something was loose. At first I thought it was the wheel spanner or something in the back so I didn’t pay too much attention. I then also started noticing a knocking noise sometimes that would just randomly happen, mostly when turning left or right but sometimes when going straight as well. I started searching the internet for information as to what the issue might be and how severe and after I found out that it might be suspension, cv joints or brake assembly I phoned Westvaal Peugeot Menlyn and spoke to the Warranty clerk to check the warranty for me. I phoned Westvaal again a few days later to book in my vehicle. I explained the issue/s to them and was told that they would inspect the vehicle properly and let me know. After a few hours I was phoned back by Adhir Hiralal who gave me the bad news that basically my front shock absorbers had to be replaced. I asked him about the cause of this and he told me that this normally happens when the vehicle stands for a long time. I asked him to send me through a quotation and I also asked him about the warranty to which he told me that the warranty for suspension is 3 years or 60 000km and has already expired. I phoned IC Nissan and spoke to Gavin Groos, the Dealer principle. I told him that I purchased a vehicle from them about a month ago and that it has issues that I was not informed of. He asked me where the vehicle was currently and for my contact number, I gave him the information and he told me that he would find out from his side and contact me back.
So far I have not had any feedback nor is Gavin taking my call.
