However, he becomes disillusioned when the dealer presents him an estimate of €1,335, without the involvement of the manufacturer. He then refused to start work and requires a support request to be made to the brand. However, this request will prove to be rather inconclusive, as Renault only grants it 40% participation. Our reader does not take off: For him no question paying that €801 for such a recent car.

Our defense strategy

The anger of this motorist is easy to understand. Granted, seats can sag over time and miles. But this Zoe is just 2.5 years old and has only driven 30,700 km! Suffice it to say that she is almost in new condition. In addition, for such a problem offers the scale of our experts full support from the manufacturer within the limit of 5 years or 80,000 km, on the first of the two terms reached. So Renault has to be here bear 100% of the costs.
