Anyone have a Captiva?

[miarose03]

Hi we bought our Captiva brand new Dec 2012.  We thought it was a great car and always been a Holden fan.  In one year we have had to leave it at the Holden car yard for a week with a big oil leak problem.  Car was 6 months old when the transmitransmission blew another week at Holden, so glad it was in warranty as its a 7 grand job.  Just got our 15,000 service and the front tyres are bold!!!! need replacing which i have a friend with exactly the same problem and these tyres arent cheap:-(  Plus we said there is like a metal clanking noise which they found a loose bolt they didnt do the transmission properly.  A friend had a 2006 captiva same problems with tyres now the belt chain thingy is going thats more than a couple of grand and another problem which was $1.500 problem the dealers told them how bad these craptivas are and they traded it for a ford.  Just hoping this captiva is not going to be having problems in the future.  Looking at some forums alot of people hate them:-(

I had a 2010 Captiva 7 seater diesel for about 18 months, not one prob during that time and only sold it due to a separation as we were dividing the assets.

My only gripe was the deprecation.... Bought it for 29,950 and only got 18,500 for it.

all cars can have lemmons, a friend boubt a brand new Commadore and they didnt get 2 kms down the road from picking it up and it was on a tow truck going back for repairs, the next 2 years it had spent a total of six months in the repair shop when he added up all the days and weeks it was off the road.

They eventually gave him a new car because he was about to go to the media about how carp the car was.

I think some new cars are friday arvo jobs.

My brother bought a ford metoer many years ago. It was his very first new car. It had numerous issues but the most obvious one was the spare wheel didn't actually fit the car. :^O

I have a Lemon, it's a 1985 vw transporter, but I love it. I'm just not game enough to actually drive it anywhere 😐

Sadly any brand of car will have their lemons.

I would be trading it in quick smart, whilst it still has some warranty on it, and is worth abit more.

I have a Ford Focus with 2 years, 60 000 km problem free

Previous car was a Hyundai Lantra - 10 years, 200 000 problem free km, before dying suddenly.

I had the Ford focus serviced last week and was admiring the new 2012 Ford focus reduced for a quick sale  $19 800 driveaway  - very nice.

the salesman recommended a Kia - he says he has very few issues with people coming back with problems - said 10 years ago, he would not have recommended them, but Kia have improved greatly and now have a fantastic car.
