Are you having problems with your Ssangyong? Let our team of motoring experts keep you up to date with all of the latest Ssangyong issues & faults. We have gathered all of the most frequently asked questions and problems relating to the Ssangyong in one spot to help you decide if it's a smart buy.
I would not recommend a Ssangyong of any type, without worrying about the ugliness of the Stavic. You'll be far better served by a second-hand Kia Carnival.
We contacted SsangYong to see what we could find out about their parts supply, and were told that there were no problems with it. They believed there was a communications breakdown in your case and are keen to resolve the issue with you.
Musso owners we have spoken to have been unanimous in their praise of the car. One or two have reported fairly minor issues, most love the diesel and have had no trouble at all, and many have done lots of kilometres in their cars.
We went back to Ateco and this is the response we received: "With regard to Mr. Laurie, the repairs were actioned on 22 March, with three of the four parts required in stock at his dealership and a fourth part arriving at the dealership on 4 April, having been ordered by the dealer on 30 March. No further parts were, or are on order with regard to this vehicle. The dealer has confirmed that the customer collected his car yesterday, expressed satisfaction with the work and has not been in contact with either dealer or Ateco with any further concerns or issues. Needless to say if there are further issues Ateco and his dealer are more than happy to discuss these with him."
While they have improved markedly on their early efforts the SsangYong Rexton still lags behind other models in the SUV market.
UPDATE 18/2/19: The new Rexton Ultimate also fared surprisingly well in our recent budget 4x4 SUV comparo, taking out third place and defeating more fancied rivals from Isuzu and Toyota.
I recommend cars I would be happy to see my best friend driving and, for that reason, nothing with a Ssangyong badge currently makes the cut.
SsanYong make the Rexton SUV, with assembly plants in South Korea and India.
The Musso’s towing capacity is 3500 kg, and its GCM is 5980 kg.
No, that’s not correct. It would be against the law to have to stall the car to stop it.
