Holden Captiva 2009 Problems

You need to be able to demonstrate that the wear is not normal fair wear-and-tear, and that of course is always very hard to do. There is no benchmark for wear of this type. Perhaps you could check other similar Captivas for the same wear pattern and develop a case you could present to Holden. Other readers might like to tell us of their experience with the Captiva.

When you are deciding on a car to use for towing you need to be conscious of the weight you plan to tow, and that must be the total weight and not just the weight of the caravan or trailer, the sort of terrain you will be traveling over, and the ambient temperature you are likely to experience. The Captiva diesel is rated to tow 2000 kg if it’s a manual and 1700 kg if it’s an auto. Make sure your caravan/trailer is within that weight limit, if it is you could consult an offroad vehicle specialist about increasing the cooling capacity of your car.
