I had previously posted various complaints here regarding the steering wheel and multimedia system of the Renault Megane I bought brand new in October 2024. From the very first week we got the car, there were noises coming from the steering wheel. In the first month alone, we went to the Iskenderun Reles service at least 5-6 times. We reported every malfunction to Renault Turkey with photos and videos. They even replaced a part related to the steering wheel. But it didn’t help. Finally, we encountered such an absurd situation that you wouldn’t even find it in jokes. On May 6th, the Iskenderun service called us and asked us to come to the service immediately. However, we told them we were in Ankara at the hospital and couldn’t come. Then they said we needed to go to the nearest Renault Service and have the service manager there call them. We asked for the reason, but they never told us. We were close to the Adana Isotlar service. We immediately changed our route and went there. Thankfully, they welcomed us very well. The service manager there spoke with the mechanic at Iskenderun Reles service. What the mechanic at Iskenderun Reles said was very urgent and very important was this: He wanted the car to be checked to see if we had installed xenon headlights or made any modifications from outside. The friend at Isotlar service opened the hood, waited for the car to cool down, then examined the car and informed the official at Iskenderun Reles service that everything in the car was original and no extra work had been done. However, a day later, Reles called us again and told us to come to the service after returning from Ankara so they could inspect the car. In other words, they did not trust what the official at Isotlar Renault service said. Now, these questions have arisen in my mind. First, Renault Turkey does not trust the statements of an authorized service (Isotlar) to which they themselves have given authority and asked us to take our cars. Second, Iskenderun Reles service has checked my car at least 5 times, taken it for test drives 2-3 times, and even replaced parts in the engine and steering. If there had been any outside intervention or xenon headlights, wouldn’t they have noticed? Why don’t they just tell Renault Turkey directly that there has been no such intervention? How can I trust leaving my car at the service from now on? How can I be sure they won’t tamper with my car? I didn’t even get PPF coating for my car because in the applications they remove the door handles. My previous car was a 1.3 Clio Icon, which I used for 4 years. Even after the warranty expired, I only had it serviced at the authorized service. This last incident was the final straw. Hopefully, we’ll go to the service when we return.
