Customer reviews for Dacia Duster

Nice

Only had the car just over three months. Within the first three weeks had a maintenance spanner appear on the dash. Was in for repair for 10 days for repair of the water pump. I have experienced random speeds flashing up on the dashboard,, not where it should be and not relating to the speed limit or cars actual speed. The driving assistance front camera randomly reporting it's not working and the temperature controls switch not adjusting the cabin temperature and staying on full heat. Also has shown a speed on the odometer briefly and a visible movement on the steering wheel slightly left and right when the fan and aircon are on maxi even though the car was parked. It is currently back at the dealership.

lots of changes reqd, poor explanations of how to use all the "gismos, had to down load drivers hand book, 400 pages!! cannot see the wood for the trees!! I have all ways jacked up using axle jacks advised NOT to do this on this car --weekness on bottom Front suspension arms , now made out of steel instead of cast iron, hence will bend, I could go --waste of time!! am planning to get rid of the car, my car is only 3 months old, a duster automatis hybrid I cannot get rid ofit ASAP

I was big advocate for Dacia especially considering I had bought 2 new previously but I've found this Duster feeling far too enclosed with limited visibility and far too chunky. I've had too many radio issues to mention and I have had to return the car to the dealership twice, It almost feels like I've bought a newish used car and is unpleasant.

Got a brand new car in January a dacia duster journey loved it ,but 12 times now it as lost power to the accelerator and the service department at ancaster dartford branch can't find fault so not very happy and can't claim for a new car without diagnosis of what's wrong somebody must know

Had electrical issues from day 1, after 5 weeks of issues had to take car back to the garage and never seen it since… that was 7 weeks ago with no return date… awful service and experience

Turn off all the annoying binging binging when trying to manoeuvre the car - the noise is incredibly distracting

I appreciate the follow up but I have taken the car to the dealership twice now and I still have the same problem

Multiple failure to start. Shocking customer service from the dealer

Far too much distracting information much of which is either unnecessary ( you mean you wouldn't notice that the car was going up or down hill without a display on the dashboard?) or badly designed especially making adjustments to the heating and fan into tabs (instead of simple dials) which is dangerously difficult to do whilst driving. Very annoying that it seems to have a mind of its own and randomly reverts to its own choices on everything from 20mph speed limiting to choosing its own favorites on the radio.

Like the look of the vehicle and it is very economical to tax, insure and run.

Since I found a very competent,bright and empathetic salesperson (her name is Willow ) who explained about using the ECO option, the vehicle handles much better though I still find the gear changes and ratios not suited to my driving. This is particularly annoying as my only reservation when first approaching Dacia was that it was part of Renault and the only one of the many vehicles I have driven over nearly 60 years of driving that I really hated was a Renault as its gears changes were like stirring thick porridge and the ratios all wrong for me. Please note that I am NOT suggesting that there is anything wrong with the car, just it doesn't suit me which I would probably have noticed had I been given a test drive. I suppose being not only a woman but elderly that was too much to expect!
