What are the common faults of Peugeot 5008?
2 Answers
Here are the reasons for common faults of Peugeot 5008: 1. Poor combustion state: The poor combustion state of the engine is the main reason for the engine fault light to come on. In automobile design, to ensure the engine is in good working condition and ensure the normal working life of the engine, an oxygen sensor is installed on the engine to monitor the combustion state of the engine. Once the engine combustion state is poor, it will not only cause environmental pollution but also lead to fuel waste and excessive wear of the engine. 2. Poor fuel quality: Many car owners who find the engine fault light on have a feeling: that is, after adding a tank of fuel, the engine fault light suddenly comes on. Because the engine has requirements for the quality indicators of the fuel, especially as the requirements for the engine from various specifications become higher and higher, the quality indicators of the fuel are also required to be higher and higher.
I've been driving the Peugeot 5008 for over three years now, and many owners have encountered these common issues. The most frustrating for me is the electronic system problems—the central control screen often freezes or displays garbled text, especially in summer heat when the screen becomes sluggish and the navigation fails, leading me to the wrong route. Then there's the suspension system: after 50,000 kilometers, the rear suspension started making creaking noises, which is particularly annoying on bumpy roads. The shock absorbers wear out too quickly and need regular replacement. The battery is another headache—if the car sits unused for too long, it struggles to start due to low charge. I recommend charging it monthly as a precaution. Some fellow owners also report unstable air conditioning airflow and slow cooling in summer, so cleaning the filters promptly is a must. While these issues are minor, they affect daily use. Getting them checked and fixed at the dealership may cost a bit, but it's better than risking safety by delaying repairs.
