Qashqai Model: Mk.2 Qashqai Facelift - J11b (2017–2021)

Post by Sparkes58 »

Hi everyone. I purchased a 2018 Tekna 1.5dci in November. So far I'm not enjoying the experience.
The plus point is it looks good and that's about it.
The car creaks and rattles and buzzes on any surface apart from smooth tarmac. It's been back to the dealers who supposedly tightened some screws but came back exactly the same. I'm seriously already thinking of getting rid of it.
Anybody else disappointed with their vehicle.

Welcome to this forum.

Many people complain about the quality of ride on 19" wheels, but I found it OK - it was better than my previous Fabia vRS on its 16" ones.

The ride quality is actually not bad, it's just the creaks and rattles in the cabin that are annoying. In particular a resonance and rattle from the passenger door window area. For a new car it doesn't seem particularly well put together.
Perhaps I should have been more thorough before I bought it but I was swayed slightly by all the positive reviews.

Ah... I didn't have any of that.
