Despite everything, sales of this engine continue. In the Citroën showroom that we visited, the salesman only addressed the poor reputation of the PureTech following our question: “Before 2020, yes, there were problems with some engines. The belt is still in the oil, but it has been reworked. The belt is stronger. Anyway, honestly, get an extended warranty.” recommend the seller to us. Paying for an extended warranty by purchasing a vehicle known to be unreliable, the offer is not very attractive. According to testimonies, the problems are still present on models following 2020. We questioned economic inspection. She seems to discover this matter: “We cannot comment on this particular case, but when a professional deliberately conceals certain essential information from consumers, this may indeed be a question of deceptive commercial practices or a lack of professional diligence. Given the cross-border dimension of this issue, the Economic Inspection of the FPS Economy will question its European counterparts to find out if they have any ongoing investigations into this particular case.” On the Stellantis side, we are still awaiting a response to our interview request. The question therefore remains: was there deception for nearly 500,000 European owners? Probable trials will determine this one day.
