I got my 14 plate RCZ in February and immediately had a major problem with the thermostat and heater matrix. This was partly covered on warranty, but still cost me and meant I didn’t start driving the car properly until early March. I then found a problem with the driver’s power seat which meant it moved under its own accord when driving - a problem that still hasn’t been resolved despite having a new switch fitted at an independent Peugeot specialist ( I am now driving around with the fuse removed to stop the seat moving).
Then came lockdown and working from home, which meant I have only been driving my RCZ once or twice a week and because of all the problems I have had with it I hadn’t really gelled with the car and had a bit of a downer on it. But I have the car booked in for a major service with the Peugeot dealer this week and have asked them to look at the seat.
But another irritating problem I have been having was with something sliding around in the car under rapid cornering, acceleration and braking. It was still there even after I took everything out of the dash box, door pockets etc and was really starting to annoy me. I had concluded that the ‘thing’ was sliding around inside the centre console somewhere and started looking to see how I could remove the gearstick gator to have a look inside. I was also debating if I wanted to spend more £££ with the Peugeot dealer and get them to look at what was sliding around. Then today I went out with my wife on a rare longish journey in the RCZ and because the seat isn’t able to move at the moment I was really liking the way it went etc, apart from the bloody thing sliding around in the centre console area. When we got home, I was just looking to see how the centre console was screwed in and I found, for the first time, the ashtray under the radio! I took this out and in it I found.... two sets of earrings and a hair clip that presumably belonged to the previous owner- suddenly I have solved my irritating problem of something sliding about! Now I’ve just got to get the seat fixed....

.... At least you have got to the bottom of the annoying issue hope you can get the seat fixed as easy...
