I have only owned my 10 plate doblo for 2months and have constantly been having a problem with it going into first gear. It doesn't go in properly then jumps out as you pull off.It is also sometimes awkward to get into 4th when coming down from 5th. It has been returned to the dealership twice with the problem and still not been sorted.
They are now telling me that it is because it has a 6 speed box and this happens to them all. They tell me they have others on the forecourt that all do the same. The dealership is 50 miles away we went there as it is the car version and our local dealership despite being a very large one told us they can never get the used one in the car version only vans. Our doblo is the 1.6 diesel multijet we have taken it to our local dealership and they say they have never heard of this problem and when the mechanic tried himself he said either the gearbox needed realining or it needed a new one.
The dealer who sold us the car is saying they will not replace it and even if we return it again they will not do anything to it. We are now concidering getting in touch with trading standards my husband told them this and all they said was they would take me out in it as it was most likely my driving. Sorry but no it happens with my husband driving and the mechanic driving so not just me. We are also thinking of phoning the finance company and telling them we are not paying until the car is sorted.
Before we go this far my question is has anyone any idea is this a general problem with the gear box or should they replace it under the warrenty? The warrenty was only 30 days but the car has been back twice during that time. Of these 30 days the car spent 13 days with them and they have now extended the warrenty on the gear box for another 3 months but are refusing to sort out the problem.
