Common Problem
Engine Fault and Battery Issues
One of the most reported issues with the Peugeot 408 is the "Engine fault: stop the car" warning, which can appear even in brand new vehicles. This issue often relates to battery problems, where the engine battery discharges over time, leading to various error messages. Users have experienced this problem despite software updates and multiple visits to the dealer. It's suggested that the battery may need frequent replacements, as some owners have had to change their batteries under warranty due to this issue.
Software and Firmware Updates
Firmware issues are another common problem, particularly related to updates intended to add features to the phone app. These updates have caused blue screens on the car's display, affecting thousands of cars across Europe. Some users have found success resolving these issues by performing a firmware update via USB , but others have reported that dealerships do not yet have an official fix from Peugeot.
Electrical System Concerns
Peugeot has a historical reputation for electrical problems , which seems to persist in newer models like the 408. While specific electrical issues weren't detailed in the discussions, the general sentiment suggests that potential buyers should be cautious about the vehicle's electrical reliability.
Timing Belt Issues in Related Models
While not specific to the 408, the 1.2 PureTech engine, used in some Peugeot models, has been criticized for timing belt failures. These belts can deteriorate prematurely, causing significant engine damage if not replaced promptly. Although this issue was discussed in the context of the Peugeot 3008, it's worth considering if the same engine is used in the 408.
Customer Service and Support Challenges
Several users expressed frustration with Peugeot's customer service, particularly regarding delays in obtaining replacement parts and lack of communication from dealers. The pre-authorization model for repairs and insufficient production of spare parts contribute to these delays.
