Vehicle Weaknesses
| Weakness | Cost | |
|---|---|---|
| Fractured wishbone bolts (recall) On 308 models from build years 2013 and 2014 the attachment bolts on the front triangular wishbones can fracture. This can lead to uncontrollable handling. A recall was issued for affected vehicles. Symptoms: Thumping from the suspension, steering wheel pulls to one side, uncontrollable handling in corners, visible play on the wishbone from 40,000 km | Low | |
| Rear axle bearings and drop links wear (SW) On the 308 T9 — especially the SW estate — thumping from the rear axle caused by worn bearings and anti-roll bar drop links is reported. The additional weight of the estate puts more load on the rear axle. Symptoms: Thumping from the rear, particularly at low speed over bumps, creaking when the suspension compresses, unsettled ride on higher loads. from 100,000 km | Medium |
