Review of Van Mossel Citroën & DS - Amsterdam


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

OBC part replaced broken after 6 months

I have a 2022 eC4. Last year, the AC charger stopped working. Citroen technician said it was needed a firmware updated, so I paid 200+ euros for it. It didn't solve the issue. Had to bring the car again to the shop, and then I was told the OBC needed to be replaced. They performed the replacement of the part under warranty, but I still had to pay 200+ euros again for labor. So far, 400+ euros.
Now, around 6 months later, the DC charger stopped working. Again, I brought the car to Citroen, and, again, I paid 200+ euros to update the firmware. Once again, it was not the root cause. Issue persisted, and I had to bring the car again. Guess what? OBC board again was broken. Now, Citroen is claiming that I must pay 50% of the part to be replaced on their "good will" because they don't give warranty on replaced parts. I can't emphasize enough on how ridiculous this is. I already spent 600+ euros with this bad maintenance at Citroen, and now they want me to pay 2100 euros to replace a damaged OBC that they just replaced 6 months ago.
This is ridiculous.
Dealer didn't care, Citroen didn't care.
I need my car to travel and I can't because the DC charger does't work. Calling Citroen Suppoer Service and nobody picks up the phone, and when they do, I stay on hold forever.
What a disappointment car brand, what a disrespectful customer service.
Don't buy Citroen! And I not saying this because I think they have a bad quality service and parts. I am saying this because the Citroen attendant at the dealer today told me: "Citroen doesn't give guarantee on replaced parts", which means that if you don't guarantee the parts you are replacing and the service you provided is good and reliable, it only means you are not a good professional and don't use quality parts. It means you have a bad product.
