Corsa Excite 2014 - Vauxhall Corsa abs problems in cold - Ann Furtado

I bought this car last July from a garage. Nearly 70,000 miles. Since the cold weather it has refused to start. The ABS and steering warning lights come on and the car is undriveable. I bought a warranty so it went back to the garage straight after Christmas. They did a few other things but said this was just what happened with modern electronics and maybe it needed a new battery. The battery is fully charged and the problem still exists, yesterday it was 2C and it wouldn't start. I'm furious, I paid £6000 for this car and I am effectively stranded miles from a bus route.

I'd be grateful for any thoughts.

Did it get a new battery? A fully charged battery is not a guarantee that it’s serviceable.

As the fault and subsequent failed repair occurred within 6 months from purchase you have the right to a further repair or a refund.

"The Consumer Rights Act stipulates that dealers will only get one chance to repair or replace the product, so dealers can’t make multiple attempts to fix a problem unless otherwise agreed. If they fail to remedy the fault in one attempt or within a reasonable time period, you’ll be entitled to a full or partial refund"
