Problems and faults: Peugeot GS 4007
- There have been cases of clutch and dual mass flywheel failures as a result of towing due to the first and second gear ratios not being low enough to accelerate from rest without slip.
- The Eolys fluid used to regenerate the Peugeot 4007’s diesel particulate filter was stored in a container near the rear wishbone and vulnerable to debris when driving or off-roading. As such, the container could split and leak fluid; please note that safety precautions should be taken when dealing with the fluid.
