I purchased a new Bentley Continental GTC in July 2010. The car suffered numerous problems from the off, initially with fuel pump problems, various electrical issues and then corrosion of the alloy wheels and various fixing screws on the grille. Bentley replaced the fuel pump, the rear wheels after 6 months, the front wheels at one year and attended to the electrical issues. However in the process of dealing with issues the car was at the dealer for about 7 weeks during the initial 18 months. I found this unacceptable.
Then in February 2012 the car shut down completely and had to be broken into to get it mobile again. It suffered a complete electrical failure, the dealer blaming lack of use!!!
At this point the corrosion of alloys had reappeared as had the 4 set of grille fixings.
The car has since suffered at least two further electrical failures, the latest last week.
I have documented this on a facebook page called Duff Bentley GTC.
I told Bentley and the finance company early last year that I wanted to reject the car but so far they simply try and say there are no issues with the car - the problems are of my making.
What action would you recommend taking? I have had a solicitor negotiating things for over a year at considerable cost and see the car sitting on the drive idle for another year or two if things go legal.
I simply want closure, want rid of the car and if possible recoup my legal fees and perhaps compensated for the inconvenience and dissatisfaction etc etc
