Yea right, why do companies always say the same old rubbish, why can't they just put their hands up and invest time and money to rectify the problem instead of saying the same old b0ll0cks,
Citroen said there had been no reports of the problem before the Watchdog programme!!!!!!

...and it's sister company, Peugeot, has the same design but has fitted a steel plate over the cable in the passenger footwell to stop inadvertent braking by the passenger, whereas in the Citroen it's covered by a piece of felt. Presuming they do actually talk to each other, I wonder which member(s) of Citroen management made the decision to save a fraction of a Euro by not following Peugeot? Hope he/they are now looking for other employment, but hopefully not in the aircraft industry.

It seems that as soon as a company grows big enough to have its own legal department all good ethics go out the window. Never say sorry (unless the government forces you to), never admit there's a problem (unless forced by court order), never believe the customer....etc
Yeah its ****** annoying but unfortunately its the way the world is going

They should recall the cars and give them to driving instructors; saves money on the dual controls after all
IS200 Sport - Sold
Mazda 6 MPS - Zoom Zoom!
Modifications
Completed:
Currently 280bhp/295lbft; 3" Meercat custom exhaust; KW Suspension; FMIC; SSP; HPFP; Custom Stainless Steel Dials - for the moment, the only set in the world!! (Till the group buy for MPSOC anyway :lol: )
In Progress:
E-Tuning remap ongoing via Cobb Accessport; Braided brake lines; Stubby aerial; Tinted repeaters and sidelights; 3 Port Boost Control Solenoid; 3" HTP Intake
In the true spirit of conspiracy theorism.... are French import/exports somehow hurting the Americans, and will they blow this out of all proportion as they have with Toyota recalls in the past couple of years?

That's opening themselves up for a world of hurt if it's an issue that was obviously discovered...........but hang on, they have a wire in the passenger footwell that if you step on it activates the brakes?
That's so comical it's actually hard to believe!

Not a wire as such. My understanding is that because the car is built LHD, the brake servo and master cylinder are on (what in this country would be) the passenger side, instead of just at the top of the brake pedal where they would normally be. So instead the brake pedal operates a cable on the RHS which is then attached to the master cylinder on the LHS. So you can apply pressure to this cable with your foot from the passenger footwell.
