Corsa F, lots of niggles and faults
Posted: Tue May 11, 2021 1:43 am
Hi all,
Girlfriend has had the Corsa F since January 2020, and we have had quite a few niggles & gremlins with the car.
It’s a 1.2T SRI Nav Premium in Power Orange. Absolutely love the car!
Now for the problems. Since she has owned the car, the keyless entry has simply refused to work on the drivers door. Only works on the boot.
We’ve had a problem with the Stop - Start system, recently getting worse though. Sometimes it will simply refuse to cut the engine out for days at a time, even after a regular 40 mile drive between houses at motorway speeds.
The interior has some seriously nasty rattles when listening to music, particularly coming from the rear door cards.
Driving the car, I’ve noticed the gearbox making some big crunchy sounds when going into 3rd or 6th gear. This issue seems to get worse when accelerating rapidly, or using the sport button.
Finally.. went to go to work in it a few days ago, opened the drivers door to be greeted with some loud bongs, started the engine and it flashed up saying that there was a problem with the parking brake! Switched the engine off and back on and the issue went away and we haven’t seen it since. It alarming though.
Apart from these faults, we love the car! Plenty of power and love the sound of a baby 3cyl!
