Stellantis 1.2 PureTech Engine Under Scrutiny: Expert Warns Against Purchasing Affected Models

Automotive expert 'Garaje Hermético' has issued a stark warning regarding certain models from the Stellantis automotive group, citing significant issues with their 1.2 PureTech engines. The expert highlighted a design flaw involving a rubber timing belt, which operates submerged in oil. This belt is prone to degradation, leading to particles obstructing the oil filter and impairing the oil pump's operation. 'The consequence is the complete destruction of the engine,' stated the presenter, emphasizing the high cost of such a failure. The problem reportedly affects a wide range of popular models manufactured between 2019 and 2024, including the Peugeot 208, 308, 2008, Citroën C4, C4 Cactus, Opel Corsa, and Grandland. According to 'Garaje Hermético,' numerous platforms across Europe are actively pursuing claims against Stellantis due to these widespread engine failures. The expert underscored the severe impact these issues have on the resale value of the affected vehicles, describing it as 'devastating.' Consumers considering purchasing these models are advised to exercise caution.
