We acquired our X290 last June with a new M.O.T., the vehicle was 2 years & 7 months old at the time with 8,283 miles recorded, since then we have covered just 896 miles in 3 trips.
Very recently some electrical gremlins have appeared, including the well known cluster warning lights issue, but also the airbag light is permanently illuminated ( currently an M.O.T. failure ) & some weird anomaly where, whenever the drivers seat belt buckle is inserted, some dash lights glow faintly.
The vehicle is barely 2 months out of Peugeot warranty, so our question is : who is responsible for the repair of these issues - Us, or the dealer or the third party warranty company ?
The dealer insists that we claim via the warranty company - although the warranty doesn't cover ''airbag & systems'' & '' known manufacturer faults '' - this could mean the instrument cluster.
We find ourselves in a position where not only do we have an unserviceable vehicle due to the airbag issue, but worse still, possibly being uninsured as the airbags will not deploy in the event of an accident.
All opinions offered gratefully received.
