Seyyare's Thank You Message
“Thank goodness, they contacted me today and informed me that they will replace it with a new car. The new car may take 1 to 2 months to arrive. In the meantime, there is still a replacement vehicle, which is already a positive development.”

I purchased a Citroen e-C3 from Citroen Gülan Sancaktepe and paid ₺1,400,000 in cash. About a month after buying the vehicle, it broke down and left me stranded on the road because it did not charge. At the service, they told me that the sensor was defective. I delivered the car to Citroen Gülan Sancaktepe service, and my vehicle has been kept there since then. Despite this, no one has called me, informed me, or offered any solution. I find it unacceptable that a vehicle that is only about one month old has such a serious malfunction and that the service does not show any interest. Since my car is almost brand new and has had a serious charging problem so early, I do not accept repair and I request that my vehicle be replaced with a new one without any loss of rights. I kindly request that my complaint be urgently examined, that I be informed clearly about the process, and that my vehicle change request be fulfilled as soon as possible.

I bought my Citroen EC3 model as brand‑new on December 31. About 20 days after taking delivery, the charging sensor malfunctioned and the display began constantly warning that the parking brake was not engaged. Experiencing such a serious fault in a brand‑new vehicle after such a short time has left me extremely disappointed.

On February 8 I left the car at Citroen Gülhan Service in Samandıra, Istanbul. Although my car has been in the workshop for roughly two months, I have received no information at all—no phone calls, no explanations about the process. I have been left without a vehicle, suffered hardship, and have completely lost confidence in the brand due to this neglect.

Because I purchased the car new, I will not accept a repaired vehicle. I request that my car be treated as defective merchandise and either be replaced with a new one or refunded at the current sale price. I expect the inconvenience I have endured to be taken into account and for an urgent solution to be provided.

I delivered my Citroen e-C3 to the Gülan service on January 8, claiming that the charging sensor was faulty because the car wouldn’t charge even though it was less than a month old. Almost a month has passed and no concrete solution has been provided; I still receive no substantive information about the vehicle.

Every time I call the service they say they will call me back, yet no one does, and I have to call again. Despite this, there is no clear and explicit information about the car’s status, when it will be returned, or what actions are being taken. Moreover, after paying so much for a practically brand-new vehicle, the lack of a point of contact and the prolonged process have seriously disadvantaged me.

I request that my car be replaced with a new one due to this issue, and that the process now be taken seriously, with written and clear information provided to me.

I bought a Citroen e‑C3 in cash on 31.12.2026, and on 08.02.2026 I left my car at the Gülan Citroen service; I was told that a part needed to be replaced due to a sensor fault. Since that day I have received no communication or solution, and I am demanding a replacement of my vehicle.

Finally, they called on Wednesday, March 11, but the bargain they made was that they'd repair the car and give us a free maintenance 😂. You guys are really pulling a fast one—buy a 1.5‑million‑lira car, it breaks down after a month, and now they say they'll fix it. This whole thing feels like a joke; the process has taken forever. Now it's time to start legal proceedings. Watch out, I'm going to get my money back from you, you scoundrels. Don't ever choose this brand's dealer 👎🏼

Since they couldn't provide a solution, I will start legal proceedings from tomorrow and complain everywhere. In the morning I will go to Consumer Rights and say, 'What kind of brand is this? I think they should be banned from selling.' Because of that vehicle, my depreciation cost is very high. It's a brand that should never have been bought. I don't want a new vehicle or anything; I just want the price to be paid at the current market value, not a replacement vehicle. 😡👎🏼

They literally gave me a broken car; after 20 days the car broke down, it's been at the service for 2 months and still no word 😡😡😡
