Morning all,
So I’ve owned my 2021 with 20kmiles ds7 e tense 300 for nearly two weeks now, I am having to return it the dealer to get the suspension arms and bushes replaced because of skipping when driving over pot holes and drains.
After trawling through the posts on here and Facebook I’m now wondering if I made the right decision, I know most posts are about faults but I’m looking for any positive reviews about ownership, bearing in mind my last 2 cars a honda civic type r i bought in 2002 new and never had one issue with it (owned for 11 years) then a Volvo v70 owned for 12 years without any major issues.
I really like the car but I must admit I’m contemplating returning it the more I read and if course the suspension issue.
Thoughts.
New cars, new problems. Such are the times.
Cars from the 2000s shouldn’t be compared to cars from the 2020s.
If you start looking at the current problems of many new cars, you won’t buy any.
I had my car in the shop yesterday for the exact same thing, but they only had to do a wheel alignment and the skipping is now gone.
I informed them about the known “bushings and suspension arm” issues recalls so they were aware of it when they investigated but they found no fault there.
I think all manufacturers have their issues. Often it’s more about individual cars rather than brands if you will end up with many issues with your car or not.
I love this car, and you will have to pay a lot more with most other brands to get the kind of extras and luxury that you get in a DS7.
I drove a Peugeot 208 yesterday, as loaner, and boy was I glad when I got to pickup my own car again.
It’s times like that that I get reminded of why I put the money I do on cars. 
That’s reassuring, if the skipping stops I’ll be very pleased.
Thanks.
The problem is so well-known that they even sell these bushings for DS7 on AliExpress.
