The Dacia warranty has a general cover all statement that seems to make a claim for anything subject to Dacia ( or their Garage Agents ) in most cases subject to their goodwill.
IE seemingly all claims can only be met for "manufacturing " faults.
Surely for the normal car buyer how can they prove a problem that raised their concern was a manufacturing fault. This is surely a get out clause
The cars battery is an example where any claim for a failure would not be successful because the batteries expected life is not specified unlike other car manufacturers . A Dacia car owner with battery that failed earlier than the longer life normal to many batteries these days would probably not find Dacia accommodating
And what about corrosion, the car owner is dependent on the regular check of Dacia whether any any corrosion is covered by the warranty which specifies the corrosion has to start from within the car ?
What about corrosion from where the car is exposed to the elements say under the wheel arches , the underside of the car. the unprotected edges of the wheel arches , inside the doors with water traps in the door joints crevices.
Yes there will be many Dacia car owners who will report that they have had their car for many years without a trace of rust. Perhaps these are cars in places that don't experience salty roads in winter. Perhaps these cars were made from thicker material . Perhaps they are lucky.
Yes there will be Dacia owners who will say it's no different from other car makers. I can't believe this . My last car made specific claims on the cars design to combat the threat of corrosion. IE all internal bodywork cavities protected with thick coating with the same on the bodywork sills and wax injection of door cavities . Dacia don't seem to have specified
anywhere how their cars are designed and manufactured to combat the threat of corrosion . In other words is it you get what you see. It's almost like the cars were designed for benign environments
Perhaps Caveat Emptor .
