Renault Megane 2005 Problems

 Repainting your car would effectively return it to new condition, not to the condition of an eight-year-old car, which is why Renault is paying for the half the cost. If you want to pursue it contact an independent specialist in the area, like Graeme Cuthbert (0422 444 335) and arrange for an independent assessment of the car and take Renault to court. By far the easiest and most stress-free path to take is to accept the offer and get rid of the car.

Has it been that way since you bought it, or has it developed over time? Test drive another Megane, without telling the dealer what you are up to, and see if that is the same. See if it is as Renault says, normal for the Megane. If it isn't, talk to the dealer and get another opinion. It does sound as if the brakes are coming on too strong.
