Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Needed spring on offside front brake caliper. Dacia don't supply just the spring but whole caliper. They tried to maintain that it was not covered under warranty but eventualy agreed to pay for a new one and for fitting. They sent wrong caliper to garage so I had a wasted day and a 180 mile round trip. Dacia offered a £50 voucher as compensation which I had to spend on something for the Dacia. Thats not what I call compensation. They think that they have done me a favour by paying for the caliper which should have been under warranty anyway. What else don't they cover on warranty??? I like the Duster but not Dacia customer services.
