Hi all,
I have been asked about this - so for clarity.
Although there currently isn't a 'Team' in place to take further action with Peugeot at this point, I will take the task to collate responses from any members who have experienced jacking point failures in the past.
As above the data should be PM'd to me - and for consistency the format should be:
Registered owner of vehicle
VIN number
Car and Model
Date of registration
Date when damage occurred/observed
Mileage when damage occurred (if known)
Damage occurred at: dealer/tyre-fitter/home/etc
Type of Jack/Lift used
Fixed under warranty y/n
Cost of repair (if known)
Damage acknowledged by dealer
Peugeot UK claim number if appropriate
Additional comments
I have already got a couple of responses, so please keep them coming. Its for the good of you all.
Hi Mods.
As DKZ5745 suggested above, can you please make this a sticky.
Thanks
OK, so it seems I am wasting my time here.
Many thanks to the couple of owners who responded here, but lets be honest 2 or 3 owners is going to make absolutely no difference to Peugeot. They will probably laugh at this level of response.
TBH, I was not expecting the outcome of any claim to be a recall of our cars and a redesign/refit of the jacking point. That's never going to happen.
What I was hoping for was better official Peugeot lifting and jacking advice to address a clear (to me, as a qualified mechanical engineer) design fault, i.e a Manufacturer approved workaround.
As has been seen with the recent BBC Watchdog case with Fiat 500 hill climbing abilities people power can force the hand of a car manufacturer in denial, but it needs sufficient pressure from owners.
Its clear to me now that RCZ1 was right in his post of 17th Dec

"It is almost doomed before it begins but I'm prepared to eat my words" You don't need to eat your words. The apparent apathy here has saved you from that feast mate.
To say I am disappointed by the response is obvious, but to be honest I am more surprised than anything, given the number of owners who have already experienced this issue. There are probably loads more who, (due the low slung nature of the car) have absolutely no idea that they already have this issue, and there are others who will suffer this issue in the future.
Anyway - I'll step off the soapbox now.
