Servicing costs haven't been too bad or at least in line with expectations until recently, when I have suffered a spate of cracked rear alloy rims (@ AUD$850 each). Peugeot Service (HQ) in Australia basically fobbed me off and declared that it was nothing to do with Product Quality and must be due to external factors. The car is used for daily commute on well serviced bitumen roads....clearly that was not envisaged in the car design brief !!! <br><br> <strong>AMG: Sorry to hear that, Peter. I guess this happens everywhere. There are tons of other issues and it depends on how Peugeot resolves them. Whether it would satisfy the customer or not, Peugeot have to adopt the Japanese way of quality control on continuous improvement be it for their products or service. Cheers, mate. </strong> I have a 2008, 407.

Most owners who prefer softer ride had their tire pressure sensor deactivated and set the pressure lower. Maybe it's our hot weather causing the tire the be more firm than it should be. rafiee,
