Los empleados de Stellantis desatienden nuevamente las quejas de los afectados por los motores Puretech que se manifestaban ante sus instalaciones

The Stellantis employees continue to overlook the complaints of numerous owners affected by the Puretech engines. Despite organized protests outside their facilities, the company still fails to provide satisfactory responses to the concerns of those who have suffered significant breakdowns due to defects in their vehicles. This deafening silence has led those affected to take legal action and organize mobilizations in search of justice and solutions.

The conflicts arising from defects in the PureTech engines of Stellantis continue to escalate, while those affected strive to be heard. Recently, a demonstration outside the Stellantis facilities in Figueruelas highlighted the growing discontent. Despite the efforts of those affected, the employees of the multinational seem to pay no attention to their demands, further fueling the tensions and frustration of those seeking answers and solutions.

The origin of the conflict: failures in the PureTech engines

The PureTech engines, used in various models from well-known brands like Opel, Peugeot, and Citroën, have presented serious problems that affect the functioning of the vehicles. Defects in the timing belt cause abnormal oil consumption and failures in different parts of the engine, forcing owners to face costly and recurring repairs. Many of those affected report confrontations with dealerships that evade responsibilities, increasing the distress of customers.

Ignored claims and legal actions

Unfortunately, the lack of response from Stellantis has pushed those affected to initiate legal actions. In Vigo, the first lawsuits seeking significant compensation for those who have been harmed have already been filed. However, the judicial process could extend for years, leaving many families in uncertainty and without a reliable means of transportation.

Mobilizations and protests

To amplify their voices, the Stellantis Affected Association has organized several mobilizations in different cities. Recently, over a hundred cars participated in a slow march in Zaragoza that culminated in front of the Stellantis plant in Figueruelas. However, those who participated in the protest report that none of the company employees came out to listen to their complaints, highlighting the indifference perceived from the automaker.

A questioned guarantee

Stellantis has tried to quell the discontent by announcing an extension of the warranty for the affected engines, extending it to 10 years. However, those affected consider this measure ineffective, as many face administrative hurdles and uncovered costs when trying to enforce this warranty. Consequently, trust in the company remains low among the harmed owners.

Future hopes and calls to action

In light of this serious situation, those affected by the PureTech engines are not only seeking immediate compensation but also reforms in the automotive industry to prevent the repetition of such mistakes. The protest in Zaragoza is just a step in a series of ongoing efforts to achieve justice and significant changes. More information about the challenges faced by PureTech is available at this link about the engines: here.

In this climate of uncertainty, many motorists are hoping for a change in Stellantis’s attitude and a resolution that finally addresses their concerns appropriately. The hope is that as mobilizations increase and public pressure is maintained, satisfactory solutions can be achieved for both consumers and the future of the automotive industry in general.

Persistent neglect of Stellantis amid the protests of the affected

After multiple demonstrations and an increasing number of complaints, Stellantis’s attitude, by not addressing the complaints, continues to generate frustration among the numerous affected by the defective Puretech engines. The protests carried out, especially at the company’s headquarters, have been repeatedly ignored by its employees, reinforcing the perception of indifference from this multinational toward the legitimate complaints of its customers. This growing lack of response raises a series of questions about the company’s commitment to the rights and well-being of its consumers.

The gatherings, aimed at highlighting the economic and emotional damage suffered by the owners of vehicles equipped with these problematic engines, seem to fall on deaf ears in the eyes of a company that has, until now, shown more interest in safeguarding its image and avoiding legal implications than in proposing effective solutions for those affected. The recent march organized by AFESTEL, which brought together hundreds of victims, did not trigger the expected reaction from Stellantis, which only increases the tension between the parties and leaves many families in a constant wait for adequate responses and compensations.

In a context where the voice of consumers is becoming increasingly stronger, the lack of communication and concrete action from Stellantis could have a high cost not only in legal terms but also reputationally. Meanwhile, those affected remain vigilant, utilizing all resources at their disposal to seek justice and repair the damage suffered, a damage that goes beyond a simple mechanical failure, affecting the daily well-being of thousands of families. Undoubtedly, Stellantis’s response in the coming weeks will be crucial to restore lost trust and demonstrate a true commitment to resolving this conflict.
