RCZ VERY UNSTABLE OVER 90 MPH

[Anonymous]

as the heading says i was stuck in traffic today for almost 2 hours hence after the jam i had to put the foot down [was starting a new job] staying at 90 mph at times and my god the car jittered about something terrible very unstable at the back i have only experienced this at really high speeds 140+mph in my honda.this is wrong the car shouldnt do this at all.put it this way it doesnt inspire confidence and please dont mention any speed limits as we have all done this and i have a clean driving license and always have done

Get it checked out jassy. There is something wrong with your car. I do not believe this is inherent with all RCZs.

I can categorically state that as a person with a 26mile journey to work, and as a commuter in the dark hours, with empty dual carriageways. This is not systematic of ALL RCZs :law-policered:

i recon all four wheels need balancing and front tracking. but peugeot should solve problem anyway. :thumbup:

I got mine up to 130 mph in Germany, felt OK. Went around the ring took it to 115 mph again felt great, ran over an Audi and the car just was not the same, so I would suggest you need to get it checked :wave: :eusa-whistle:

Again, seems as i live in Germany at the moment, and most of my driving is on the Autbahm, I can safely say that 70% of my cars life has been at 95mph+!!! It has no problem pulling all the way up to 5700/6000 RPM, although I try not to do that except when i have to get past an Audi or BMW .

Its so far (touch wood) been very stable, nips in and out of lane when safe to do so, and has also saved my bacon when hitting sharp turn offs unexecpetedly.

Let me know what the result of the check is, as Id rather be pre warned if its something that might happen to me as well!

You've maybe just lost a wheel weight or something, I'm sure it'll be easily put right. Can't imagine you've warped a wheel, you've not kerbed one have you?
If the tracking was out, surely you'd be able to tell by the wear pattern on the tyres....

Let us know how you get on...

having my rcz hdi for over 12 months i have not experienced this problem going down to cornwall i had the spoiler fully deployed a couple of times and the car felt very stable i suggest you do what the other member said and get it checked out

 

[Anonymous]

I also think it could be a lost wheel balancing weight. I've found very strange vibrations (on previous cars - not present RCZ), that occur and disappear at odd speeds due to this.

Needs checking definitely.

The RCZ is the most stable car I have driven. I would maybe get it checked out. It should be like a train well into 3 figure speeds.

 

[Anonymous]

Thanks people for all the replies will tell them tommorow :thumbup:

 

[Anonymous]

Yup, like a train well into 3 figures!

 

[Anonymous]

Also been into 3 figures on motorways for short periods, spoiler fully deployed, very stable never had a problem.

Keep all of us informed

 

[Anonymous]

so far i have found no problems of that kind over 90 mph

I will not say how fast I have been but it is in 3 digits in the middle of night and the car was fine.

(if you are worried about it currently manually put up your spoiler to stage 2 it is designed to stop the front from lifting)
