Re: 3008 Hybrid - Unable to go into Electric mode

Please find below the advice I received from Trading Standards. I have booked my car in again for them to try and fix the Ambient temp and low range problems. If they fail again I will send a letter as per the advice below and see what happens. Meanwhile, based on my experience and Peugeots indiffer...

Re: Hybrid Battery Range

Welcome to the club. I have the same problem and same response from Peugeot. I've had enough. I just written to my local Trading Standards Office to see if we have a case for miss-selling which I think we may well have. Had they told me at point of sale that actually, I would only be getting 12-15 r...

Re: Hybrid Battery Range

I have also had this problem with low electric range, now between 14 and 16 miles ( see my previous posts on this subject). This is scandalous, also most on par with the the fiddling of diesel fuel efficiency figures that was exposed a few years ago. Add this to the fact that Peugeot also stick thei...

Re: 3008 Hybrid - Unable to go into Electric mode

Hi Rikki - as someone who has has the Hybrid 4 300 for 18 months now I would definitely go with the Toyota. Despite numerous visits to the dealer they have not been able to fix the 'Electric Mode not Available - Ambient Conditions' warning. This occurs whatever the temperature The vehicle works fine...

Re: Hi there

I have a 3008 hybrid4 plug in which I have owned for about 14 months from new. I would recommend avoiding it like the plague. I have had no end of problems with the electric mode malfunctioning. Around 50% of the time I get the warning ‘Electric mode not available- ambient conditions’. It has been b...

Re: 3008 Hybrid - Unable to go into Electric mode

Hi. You’ve probably been following my posts and others re this problem. You’re right Peugeot don’t know how to fix the problem. My has been back three times for software updates that were sure to clear the problem. Wrong, in my case each time the fault came back within three or four days. Having had...

Re: 3008 Hybrid - Unable to go into Electric mode

Amazing. I have the same problem with the over reviving engine when electric mode is not available. It will be interesting to see what your dealer says.

Re: 3008 Hybrid - Unable to go into Electric mode

Thanks for the comprehensive update. Basically it’s a rehash of what Peugeot told me over my three visits to the workshop. They can’t resolve the problem and we are expected to just live with it. I have written to the complaints department and am awaiting a reply. There is still no mention in the ad...

Re: 3008 Hybrid - Unable to go into Electric mode

This is one the problems. It is very random. As the dealer is some 40 miles away the auxiliary battery charges up and low and behold it starts in electric when it gets to the dealers. I get the car back and it’s fine for a few days then the problem comes back. However I started videoing the start up...

Brian. What number did you ring to contact the complaints department. I can’t find a number on the web site
