Rear Suspension noise DS7

[rowsell]

Hi,

I have a 2018 DS7 Crossback prestige and after 3 days of picking it up a squeak from the rear appeared. I have taken it back to the dealer and they had a look and says its the suspensions bushes and they need replacing.

lucky its under warranty so getting replaced for nothing. they say this is a common fault for this age car?

has anybody else had the same issue and if so is there any other common issue I need to know of?

regards

Hi there I experienced this and had to be replaced under warranty. My garage told me the original part fitted at manufacture was faulty and the new one should be fine.

Hi,

Picked up my car yesterday and they have replaced the rear swing arms on both side. glad it was under warranty.

dealer also said that the early models of the DS7 had faulty bushes on but this was rectified from 2019.

just makes you think is there anything else that needs to be addressed?

Unfortunately with all new models - you guys are effectively the guinea pigs doing the 'real world' testing of these models. This is where the 3 year warranty really pays off - and if you are thinking about keeping it past the warranty - I strongly recommend you take out a manufacturer extended warranty on an annual basis for the next couple of years too.

I did this with My X7 and most of the issues occurred in years 4,5 & 6, with just at least £6k of warranty repairs done in that period.

Thanks Marc

looks like I will have to take out extra warranty.

Just back from the dealer after having the rear suspension arms replaced on my 2018 DS7... like others have said, it was done under warranty which is just as well as the bill was £414 for parts and labour! The suspension started creaking intermittently about a month ago and gradually got worse to the point where it was creaking constantly. I've been carrying some heavy loads lately and I can only assume that was enough to trigger the problem, as all had been fine up until then.

The mechanic said that both rear arm bushes had become detached.

Thanks for letting us know - always helpful for other readers to expect this.
