Columbus freezing en route in France

Featured Replies

Hi. Travelling in France at the moment and Colombus has frozen and reset a number of times. I have read the other posts on this and just need confirmation that all that I can do is a soft reset. Car is a 62 plate and thought that it was worth a new topic to highlight how common this is. Will dealer replace or repair? Thanks.

Hi Hedgecutter,

Happened to me also...middle of the one way system in Cologne was a panicked moment. And several other occasions. No rhyme, reason, pattern. Like you 62 plate Combi (l&k standard fit) so there may be a batch issue. Mentioned it my dealer Meadens (may be the same as you) and they'll pick it up at first service in a couple of months.

Happy Christmas, Brocky. I can guess where you live! It seemed to settle down after an hour or two, but would have been a real pain if we didn't have a Tomtom live. What did Meadens do? I had really bad service from them when they were a Subaru dealership 2 years ago, when they failed to put through 2 warranty claims which were then successful with another dealership. I also had a really rude email from an employee there so I am reluctant to give them my business. I think their Subaru side was in trouble at the time, but I got the impression that as I hadn't purchased from them, I wasn't a priorority. Thanks for your reply.

As I'm close to a service they'll look then and I'll let you know. I've found them very helpful.
