Yeah, it fluctuates quite a bit. But still, even if they are not in the top 10, they are quite significant.

if it was me i will sue the gearbox maker instead

Yeah. Both PSA and Renault are not insignificant. And like I said before have made recalls too

Here is what I have dug out from the great www

Looks like Renault is the Better French

Nah. Could just be that Renault is a bit more reluctant to issue a recall. We bought a new Renault in 1993, which would occasionally have a flat battery. You go somewhere, park the car, 1 hour later the battery was dead. The SC checked and checked and checked... replaced several batteries etc., nothing. The issue went up to Renault Germany headquarters, they too were clue less. IIRC they then checked back with Renault France, who told them it's a known issue and that there was some few cent part that was defective. They just didn't bother to inform their service centers... Of course everything was done under warranty, but still, it was annoying and troublesome. And it wasn't like it's some obscure car no one bought anyway, it was the most popular non-German car at that time. They sold tons of them...

Of course that happened 20 years ago, and the company is probably different now. The car btw. turned out to be reliable, once the bugs were fixed...

Btw., The one recall you found is because of a defective Nissan engine.

Hahaha, so possibly the recall-reluctant Renault can blame it on Nissan.

Volkswagen examines water leakage problem in new Golf

Germany's weekly Auto Bild reported today (-5-09-2013) that the company's best-selling model is prone to leakage of water into the co-driver's footwell because of wrongly installed drainage tubes linked to air-conditioning technology.
The magazine report had said about 300,000 VW Group cars could be affected, including its Audi A3 and Seat Leon compact models.
