Faulty 2013 Antara

I will give my honest view and it is just that my view so please don't be offended if it's not what you want,
Gear linkage - I take it is now sorted, if not should be very simple to change the entire linkage assembly
Squeek in seat - base changed so sorted now, also yes a niggle but would not stand at all as any reason for rejection of a car
Uneven tyre wear - I see you have covered over 8000 miles, the Antara is a heavy car and will eat the edges of tyres, unless there is a defect in the suspension on both sides this would be put down to normal wear.
Water in the fuel tank - unless it has a hole in it allowing rain water in or you have had a freak condensation issue this can only come from poor standard of fuel, you could hardly hold Vauxhall to account on this case.
Failing parking brake - without the definition of failing its hard to say anything but I assume it just needed adjusting and is now done? You will find if you drive off all the time allowing the brake to release auto style and are a bit quick off the mark it will add wear, I think it mentions this in the handbook. This would be looked on as normal adjustments.
Accelerator - this should be addressed quickly as it could be a safety issue, I don't believe the Antara has a cable I think it is electronically controlled.

All in all you would really struggle to reject the car on this issues you have and you will need some hefty finances to do so, I would focus on getting these last few things sorted and hopefully all will be well, a legal fight will take months of your time and you would have to leave the car at the dealers so months with no car..

It's a poor situation to have faults for sure but you have to concider if the legal fight is worth it.

Thanks for your reply.

Gear linkage- Yes fixed after 4th time

Seat- Yes replaced after 3rd time

Uneven tyre wear- Camber/ suspensionissue as tyres should last longer than 8000 miles. Tried to get fobbed off with numerousexcuses.

Water in fuel tank- Arguably nothingto do with poor fuel

Failing parking brake- failed to hold the car on a hill despite me putting handbrake on and pressing it twice. Not looked on as normal adjustments after 6000 miles.....

Accelerator- Still awaiting outcome.

I simply love the car but hate the faults. The car has been recovered by the aa oversix times, been in the garage 5 times Last two times has been in the garage over 4 weeks each time. I am not bothered about the cost of a legal case I paid for a car that should be "Fit for purpose" this car is clearly not.

I have been unable to use my caravan because of these problems. I have had days of work etc. Then they try and fob me off with a corsa for a hire car....

How would you feel if you relied on your car to get around in with your disabled child and constantly had to put up with these faults.... You wouldn't like it would you??

Hi Michelle welcome to the forum.

Sorry to hear about the hassle you have had.

So the outstanding faults you have is the accelerator, Tyre wear and the handbrake am I right and you are waiting on Vauxhall getting back to you with a report.

The tyre wear is difficult and may only be due to low tyre pressure. I have wear on the outside of my tyres but I run them soft but saying that I did nearly 20k miles before they were needing replaced.

What is the issue with the accelerator?. Can you give us more details.

A few people have reported problems with the handbrake releasing but its not that common.

The water in the fuel is most likely coming from the pump its not uncommon for this to happen thats why the car has a fuel filter so your probably not going to get anywhere with Vauxhall with that one im afraid.

If Vauxhall have the car I would wait and see what they say.
