Hi,
I own a brand new Citroen C5 X 2023 Puretech 180hp since Feb 2023.
After the first 5000km I sensed bad vibrations when braking, especially when speed above 100kmh. On lower speeds it can't be felt that strong.
I took the car back to the vendor. At first they didn't detect anything unusual then they just replaced my front discs and pads.
A few thousand kms later, same issue. Again replacement.
The 3rd replacement came at around 20k km again. Only after 9 months of driving. The last change I was forced to pay 450EUR for the replacement.
Wondering if anyone had the same experience?
I had a C5 Aircross 2022 before that - no issues. I also have a DS4 2013, never replaced the brakes since I bought the car, 102k km now.
Thanks.

Re: C5 X 2023 front brake disc issues
I've had a quick look and the only issues recoded at present with this vehicle regarding the front brakes are:
'Knocking or rubbing noise coming from the front shocks'
'Squeaking clicking or grinding noise coming from the upper section of the front suspension'

Re: C5 X 2023 front brake disc issues
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, I am very unhappy and uncertain about the brakes now. They look like they were not properly calculated for the car's weight and power. I am not racing; I am mostly driving in the city. Once in a while, I go on longer trips, and the problem starts to show.
Will try another visit at the vendor here.

This might be worth a read viewtopic.php?t=80607
Also problems thought to be the front brakes can be the rear ones, have these been checked ?
