    Have you had any problems with the car?

    My wife got the Koleos because she has always had Renault and she wanted a vehicle without having to 'climb into it' and the Koleos is really easy for her to get in and out of. There is one big problem and Renault are not coming clean on this! The Particle filter warning light comes on with annoying regularity and apparently Renault have a solution - they tell the owner to drive at least 60 miles at an average speed of 42mph. My wife doesn't do long runs and apparently Renault say this is the problem!! We have been in touch with Renault UK but they are not very helpful and will not admit that the vehicle is not fit for purpose. I don't know of any other vehicle where the owner incurs inconvenience, fuel costs and additional mileage because the product is not capable.
