I think I’m going to cancel the agreement early. Oh so many stupid-broken things, some are little niggles others are a pain in the…
I won’t do a story about it and I will just list the problems, any questions just ask and I’ll answer them.
Full charge 100% has 326m on the GOM real range and driving conservatively only gives about 225m.
The two trips main and other show different miles PKW readings.
Radio stations disappearing and have to fav them all again.
The app is useless, doesn’t work most times and when it does it won’t show miles PKW on journeys.
Parking brake warning says that it’s broken and needs took to workshop, happened 3 times over a day. I have pictures.
Wouldn’t select gears today, happened just once. Have video off it.
Cruise control wouldn’t work yesterday, just once. Have a picture.
No auto hold. Big problem for me.
No tyre pressure figures, just says that they are OK.
Some buttons are not very responsive including start and stop button and some touch ones.
Auto lock didn’t work yesterday, just once.
Definitely need a back wiper as rain water doesn’t fall or get blown off because of shape.
No coasting/free wheeling as there is always one bar of regen on and it can’t be turned off. Major problem.
OK Peugeot-chatgpt is useless, if it works which it usually doesn’t.
Speed limit reading is bizarre and useless. It shows random speeds of 17mph and 27mph. It also picks up motorway way slip roads speeds limits so throws up 30 and 40mph. Most of these were in 70mph zones. I’ve seen pictures were they have the speed limit at 90mph.
Some things seem set up for left hand drive cars like dual climate zone and the re-gen paddles are back to front – is up and + is down.
Kick opening of boot sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t.
Android auto always pops up for no reason, so end up going from radio to Spotify song and Google maps.
The seats get really hot in this good weather, very uncomfortable on a long drive. The Kona black leather didn’t get as hot.
There is no V2L on this car. I’ve spent 10s of hours trying to find out about it and there’s nothing except for early advertising of the car. I spent 30mins on the phone to Peugeot CC today and the guy knew what V2L was but didn’t know the e3008 had it. Even asked where I seen that it had it. On hold for most of the call while he contacted different departments and no one knew anything about it. He gives me a case number and said he will see what he can find out, but it might take a few days. 1. There’s no information regarding V2L except for a mention of it in an early brochure. 2. Why aren’t Peugeot selling leads, adapters for it. 3. No one including some at Peugeot know nothing about it. 4. Why is there no mention of it in any of the cars menus, up to date manuals. I don’t think it has it. I did read on an e3008 FB group that it will be an update in 2025. Deal breaker and car could go back because of this.
Some of these are just wee silly things, others aren’t.
Good things. It’s very quiet, comfortable, screens are very responsive, clear and bright. it’s stunning looking, it’s very big, feels bigger than it is. It seems solid, very well put together. And I’ve had a headache from I’ve got this car, caused by this car.

des, thanks for the more encouraging post.
I’ve just got back from my dealership and have had a long and reassuring conversation with the Motability specialist. I told him the specific problems that you guys have experienced since delivery and he was surprised to hear of your misfortunes. I asked him how many E 3008 handovers he had personally done and he told me the figure was at least 20 and probably closer to thirty. He said that he had absolutely no complaints about faults and also said that he suspected that your problems arose from your car not being “PDI’d” in a really thorough manner. He explained that their “PDI procedure” was meticulous and all software faults and glitches were corrected before the car was released to the customer. If your PDI was rushed it could explain your current problems.
My car is currently at ‘stage ten’ which is ‘in build’ evidently. I’m told it should be available by the end of September.
I wish you luck with getting your car sorted so that you can get down to the business of enjoyable trouble free motoring again.

I hope all the issues get sorted but please do not yake a salesman’s word as fact, in reality hes probably only handed over a few and doesn’t have a clue about any of it because not many sold yet and these issues feed back through service not sales.
Also a PDI isn’t going to pick up glitches unless they spend some time driving it around.

This is one of them posts I hate doing, but needs to be done to warn others sadly.
I’ve had the all new Peugeot 3008e for a few weeks now and have been doing a review However the car which is the GT model from Day’s Motor Group is full of faults and is on a recall.
Peugeot confirmed the 4g system built in is not working so they can’t update the car, and the app will not connect for charging or anything else (common fault) I’ve been told.
The electric boot is hit and miss as to weather it will fully close and sometimes you need to push it shut. ( loads of other with same fault)
Soundproofing is missing in some models (also a recall for that)
Factory forgot.to add wires for microphones so the systems don’t work ( also a recall for that)
Screens cut out when driving so can’t see the speedo or anything ( Peugeot have no fix yet)
Dealers service team who I have been trying for 2 weeks to contact called me today to say they know about some of the issues and are not allowed to handover 3008e or 5008e until they replace wires and have known about this for nearly 2 months and have run out of replacement parts and don’t know when more will arrive. When I pointed out to them handover was 3 weeks ago and you knew this car had a recall, he went quite.
Car will not charge as system is locked to deferred charging and app won’t work as 4g won’t work in the car,
Car bejng recovered and Peugeot seeking to provide temp car until this can be fixed which could be many months.
Im warning others of this as ive seen so many posts I other groups all having the same issues and Peugeot have confirmed they know but don’t have fixes for all the issues yet.
On a personal note I’m really upset the dealership at Day’s Peugeot lied to me as i asked about the issues before handover and was told they knew nothing about any recalls and yet yesterday and today they confirmed they did but can’t do anything about it and will not book the car in….hense Peugeot are taking over. Dealer said we are not Peugeot we are a dealer and Peugeot don’t tell us all the recalls.
Days have really gone down hill for sure sadly.
Anyways use caution if your looking at the 3008e and 5008e.Hi Des, I picked my E3008 up on Friday, yesterday (Saturday) I had most of the errors that you say you had but all one after the other, gearbox fault, handbrake fault, would not go into drive so did the obvious thing you would with a electric appliance 😁 and turned it on and off a couple of times and it cleared, the screen also flickers intermittently and my toggle screen became unresponsive, this was all on the first day 🤬oh then the car would not respond to lock and unlock when you walk near or away from it and the boot would not open with my foot oh and like yours again the fav’s on the radio all reset, with all these problems obviously I’m going to ring Peugeot on Monday, then last night around 3 in the morning the alarm kept going off, neighbours not happy with that one, I ended up having to leave a key fob in the car and leave it unlocked it’s the only thing I could think of to stop it going off at that time in the morning, could I ask if you sorted any of these problems? Many thanks Des, Paul.
Sorry Paul I’m just seeing this now as I’ve not been looking at this thread. I’ve been actively avoiding it as I’m at the stage now where I don’t want to think about, or talk about this car. That’s were I am with it now tbh, absolutely zero enjoyment.
I’ve read that Peugeot have acknowledged that the app doesn’t work and are releasing a new or update version. That would make things a bit easier. The weekend was bad and once again after thinking I’ll just keep it, it has now pushed me to breaking point.
Saturday I had to drop my child off at a new friends house which was in the country side. I had no idea where this house was and I was told by the owner that it was hard to find. Sat nav didn’t work. It took me ages to find it using Google maps on phone while driving as phone would not connect to the car.
It was a cool morning the car was set at 23 degrees and fan speed 3. Later that afternoon I was going out for dinner and had to pick a few friends up. I was all cleaned up, feeling fresh with nice pressed clothes. It was warm then, get into car and it was very warm in it. Screen wash blank, I couldn’t change the temperature so ended up feeling all sweaty and sticky as I couldn’t change the temperature. I didn’t enjoy that meal as I was raging tbh.
Most of the things ain’t happened again, some have some haven’t. I was going away for 5 days so phoned dealer to leave it in and have it looked over while away. Brought it over and they just run a scan and told me they can’t do anything until Peugeot gets back to them as they have to ok everything. That was ten days ago and I still ain’t heard anything.
I ain’t said anything to mobility yet as I believe they will just tell me to take it to the dealer. So, well I honestly don’t know. There’s nothing decent for me regarding V2L and price wise. The new quarter is a bit away. I honestly don’t know what to do. But I do not like this car, it’s been one headache and bad mood after another.
@des you should make Motability aware of whats going on and the current state of affairs, including lack of V2L, you were asured it had. By doing so, not only will Motability step in, it will also be down on record should it not be fixed to satisfaction and easier to exchange 🙂
Cheers Kezo. I’ll do that tomorrow. I’ve never had a problem before so just presumed they would tell me to take it to the dealer first.
So presuming the app gets fixed as preconditioning is now essential, the bugs get ironed out and I just give up on V2L although three years is a long time to wait to get something I really wanted and thought I was getting. That just leaves the range, which is poor.
The Kona I could get 260ish without trying and in the e3008 I’m only getting 220ish by really trying. The e3008 is about 440 kg heavier but the e3008 has a 9kw more bigger and more modern battery. This is in similar good weather. So I’m really concerned with winter range. Anything under 220 in winter would be of no use to me.
I honestly don’t know what to do, mind if the ioniq 5 was still on id get that in a heartbeat.

Raise the issue with Motability, tell them all the issues and tell them many other people are reporting problems.
Then if the ioniq 5 comes back on scheme October just reject the car and choose a car already in the country for quick pickup, obviously this means you’re unable to specify build and colour to your exact liking but you’ll have a much better car
The new Ioniq 5 can’t be very far away, surely? Its only had a few minor changes, like a rear wiper, so shouldn’t be too hard to get back on scheme. The problem is Hyundai tend to update the cars they have on scheme at quarter points.

I’ve had mine for a few weeks now and it has a lot of ergonomic issues.
This car is fine if you’re 5’6”. I’m 6’1 and it is dangerous to use the control panels whilst driving as you’re reaching over the wheel to control 99% of the functions.
The screen isn’t very responsive and every function takes 3 or 4 steps to complete something a switch or dial used to do perfectly fine.
It just distracts you way too much on the road. You are not allowed to use phones on the road and this falls into that category in my opinion. It’s just dangerous.
The headrest is so large that on full height extension it sticks into my shoulder blades. After a 20 min drive my neck was sore.
The seat belt doesn’t go up or down so it cuts into your neck/chest.
The door cards are so thick (about 71/2”s) I couldn’t sit down with my phone in my pocket and close the door.
The brakes on mine have nearly gone to the floor on 3 occasions, dealer says there’s nothing wrong with them.
I’d be interested to know if others suffer this.
Electric seats should not have been an expensive option considering it has every other option and you are paying nearly £50k for it.
its a very harsh hard ride and you feel every bump.I feel like this car wasn’t tested with a range of real life people and situations. It’s stuff that should have been picked up in R&D
My missus loves the car but she is 5’5” and it suits her better.
I know it sounds like I’m slating it, but it’s just my personal review from my perspective.
Like I said, if you’re shorter it will suit you better.
It has now become my missus car and I bought myself something else.Ive just completed over 100 miles in this car and even the missus wants rid of it now.
I went against my better judgement of never buying a Peugeot. Lesson learned.

Normal practice would be just take it to a dealer however, you are past this stage now, as it’s now in the hands of Peugeot themselves.
Even if everything got fixed, will your confidence in the vehicle be the same. The lack of V2L, I expect will weigh heavily on your mind, especially since you were assured it came with V2L. In the event Motability don’t class the car as a lemon and tell you to change it, you will always have the option of telling Motability you have lost confidence without issue, given all is on file!
My parents have had a Kona electric and like it very much. This morning my mum sent a picture asking, mainly asking for help however, I noticed, they had covered 44 miles since last charge (100%), with a remaining range of 224 miles @84% battery remaining. The have the N line S with the bigger wheels, so the Ultimate with the smaller 17″ would get better range!
Whilst the interir materials look god qaulity, they aren’t as touchy feely soft, as the 3008. In regard to the battery both the Kona and 3008 use a 400V Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) as the battery chemistry and if I’m not mistaken LG Chem is the cell supplier.
The Kona is well worth a look but, it might be a tad too small and its pointless having V2L if you can’t sleep/camp in the bloody thing however, Hyundai/Kia are the only ones serious about V2L!
Hi Des, thanks for the reply, sounds like you’re having an absolute nightmare, I was peeved at my faults I can’t imagine yours, the problem I’m having with my app is that it says the connect plus has been activated but connect ONE says pending when I try to access the charge/climate or e-Routes it says I need to activate it and takes me to the extend option and asks for payment, the car must be accessing it though as I have the speed camera and traffic info, Peugeot are supposedly getting back to me, I have also had been unable to slide the i-toggle screen across and sometimes when I turn the car on the i-toggle screen takes ages to come on. A new one today was was parking up and edging towards the bollard in front of me and when I took my foot off the brake the car would roll back, there was literally no incline, it was as if it came out of gear, my previous car was the Citroen EC4 which shares some of the parts and software that this has, I must admit I had no problems at all with it. @mickdundee I completely agree with you on the extras, the EC4 I spoke about had blind spot on the mirrors, highway driver assist, video +radar assisted – night-time and cyclist detection, premium stereo with subwoofer it even came with the connection plus for 3 years plus others I forgot, all for a car at £33000 NOT £50000.
I will come back to the forum if Peugeot come back with anything useful, my Step Son works on the parts department at Perrys, I didn’t want ti mither him to be honest but I don’t think I will have a choice 🙄
Also just a quick one, has anyone noticed that the instrument panel is offset to the left slightly, what could the reason be to not have it central in front of the driver?
So sorry to hear of all the problems you guys are having. Sounds like an absolute nightmare. I’d be losing my mind!
Anyhow, I picked up my E3008 last Thursday and the car has been fine. It hasn’t done anything out of the ordinary, no screen freezes, glitches or anything like that so far. The electric boot foot waving technique does seem hit and miss though.
The only thing that bothers me at this early stage is the consumption seems high. I’m driving like Miss Daisy is sitting in the back, only in eco mode, aircon off, heater on fan speed 1 at 16 degrees, babying the accelerator and not yet gone over 60mph. I have done 170 miles on mixed roads (countryside and dual carriageway) … but so far averaging just 3.9 m/kwh. In real time I did see it go as high as 4.3 (briefly) but I’m fearing that it’s gonna plummet horrendously come the winter…
Paul I just went out and checked the panel, big screen? And mine is nicely curved to suit the driver. But dam you man. The car was warm so I put the window down while in it. We pull to put window up, nothing, another wee pull, nowt, a big pull, zilch. 6th tug it eventually went up. I walked up the garden just laughing as that’s where I’m at. I’ve been peed off with it and has many a headache. Now I’m at a stage were I just laughed at it.
This morning started well as the app worked and I was able to heat the car up. Good start, then it all went to pot doing the school run. Tried to phone other half and it wouldn’t work. Hung up on phone as car wouldn’t let me do it. Listening to radio about 10 minutes later and a voice just appeared and said ‘hello, what’s up’. It was my other half. Told her I didn’t phone her, she says I did, I said about 10 minutes ago, she said no just now.
So the car can now make phone calls on its own unless you burn the car or smash your phone lol. Then on the shopping trip the heating wouldn’t work. On the screen it has everything, fan speed, right left symbol etc, but no temperature reading, just the + – symbol. So couldn’t adjust the heat.
A wee quirk also which is a bit annoying and stupid tbh. When you put the heated seats on and turn the car off, go about your business and come back and start the car, the heated seats will still be on. They need turned off after every trip.
Declan I’m driving like you and only getting 3.2 and also worried about winter range.
Mick I’m fine with the seat, just find it a bit hard. I’m 5′ 11” and 15st 8. The centre console hits my leg but is now padded unlike the old 3008. No problems with reaching the screens as I use my left hand so don’t need to go near the wheel. But aye I see why people complained about removing buttons as even with the short cut touch buttons and I toggle it can still be a lot of faff to get done what you want.
Another thing people may not like is the amount of images and info on the screen, there seems to be a lot and it can be frustrating tbh especially as a lot of things make the clock disappear. Incase you didn’t know, if you hold down the rotary volume button on the centre console it will turn of the infotainment screen and just leave a clock with date.
I’m also starting to think that people may be reading my posts and thinking I’m just looking for problems now. I’m not, I made my peace with the car and decided to keep it on three different occasions hoping that all these things will it get sorted and I can just enjoy the car. I could probably get over the same 2 or 3 problems repeating. But now it just seems like a new problem every day.
I get absolutely zero enjoyment out of the car tbh. Sorry I’m lying, I love the wee steering wheel lol
Des I feel bad for you but reading your posts does make me chuckle, I’m also in a forum on Facebook called Peugeot E-3008 & Hybrid 3008 UK and I must say there seems to be quite a few of us with problems but you have to be the most unlucky person with one of these cars, you seem to have a new fault each time you log in, with regards to the heated seats, the Citroen EC4 I had before this car was the same, they share many features, parts and the same software as Peugeot bought out Citroen years ago.
when I was talking about the screen, it’s not central, if you look straight ahead don’t you find it’s slightly to the left, I know it’s not a big deal it just bugs me as to why it couldn’t be central right in front of you.
Declan I think you are doing quite well getting near enough 4 m/kwh like I have said I had a Citroen EC4 before this car and that was about as much as you could possibly get from it, in winter it was horrendous but what you have to realise is that even at the worst return on your mi/kWh it’s still massively lower that petrol cost mpg.
Declan I think you are doing quite well getting near enough 4 m/kwh like I have said I had a Citroen EC4 before this car and that was about as much as you could possibly get from it, in winter it was horrendous but what you have to realise is that even at the worst return on your mi/kWh it’s still massively lower that petrol cost mpg.
Agreed for everyone else, but I’m in Northern Ireland an the cheapest night time electricity rate is about 16p kwh! That’s a completely different ball game to the 6p and 7p on the mainland.
UPDATE: Just jumped in the car to nip up to the shop and my stored radio stations have disappeared from the presets… Hope that’s not the start of it!

Thanks for that tip Des, holding my rotary button down doesn’t do anything when the car is turned on. If the car is turned off with the infotainment screen on though, pressing it will totally blackout the screen. It must be configurable in the settings somewhere.

even at 20p per kwh its about a third of the cost of running petrol
How about some good news. I had to go for a drive to a friends house. Motorway there and country roads back. Sport mode lol. That’s was good fun tbh. Now I’m not one for knowing or caring about handling, but for such a big car it’s fine in my world, and I horsed it tbh. Not as quick as the Kona, but still nippy, and it’s so quiet. Except for one narrow country lane which was enclosed with bushes on both sides.
I put the window down a bit and the noise was nice, a whirr, we are not jet engine, but a nice sound all the same when you put the pedal down. And it’s solid, the nuts, bolts and the pieces that hold it all together, well they are well put together.
Also it’s such a beautiful place to sit in, especially at night. I enjoyed that drive tbh, mind I’ve never hated the car, just peed at the problems, some of which kill the joy of driving it.
But, but, but another quirk, not a problem but another quirk. Something was rattling about on the back floor. Pulled over to turn interior lights on and see if I can grab it. There’s no light switch for the whole interior. Each light can be turned on individually or I can open the door to turn them all on, but no switch for all, and that’s a first in all the cars I’ve ever had.
Declan I didn’t set mine up, so have a wee hoke to see if it is in settings, and the less said about what we pay for electric and even worse gas the better lol
16p off peak? I feel for you that’s more than we pay peak. Honestly energy in Britain is utterly broken
16p off peak? I feel for you that’s more than we pay peak. Honestly energy in Britain is utterly broken
Yup, we only have about 3 electricity companies over here so lack of competition doesn’t help our prices. Peak rates are currently between 27-34p per kwh. My new day/night meter won’t be installed until next week, so I’m having to pay my standard 29p per kwh until then.
Declan I’ve the power NI EV tariff with day night rate and the two meters for it. Have a look around as the cheaper 24 HR rates may work out the same or even slightly cheaper. I ment to take a look yesterday but didn’t get round to it.
My rate
Day 32.82
Night 15.70
Daily tanding charge 0.1303

Thanks Des. If you haven’t been an SSE customer before, their new customer 1 year discounted rate looks to be the cheapest at the moment …
