Renault Kangoo Problems

  I've got a couple of questions regarding my dad's Renault Kangoo. Been driving it the past few days and realised that its been having some of the following problems, hope some of you old birds to driving or fellow drivers of this vehicle could advise.Please note the vehicle was gotten in late Dec. and has travelled less then 6000km till date.
  
  The problems I've encountered are as follows:
  (1) Reverse Sensor occasionally going crazy, when reversing not near any obstacles it should beep, but it goes into a continuous tone indicating that its near an obstacle. When in-fact I've just put the vehicle in reverse.
  
  (2) Rubber lining on the driver side and passenger sides popping out.
  
  (3) Tinkling sound when going up slopes
  
  (4) Problems with jerky gearing at slow speed, despite proper clutching
  
  Hope somebody can advise on the situation I'm facing.
  
  Thanks

  1. get it checked or replaced. spoik already
  
  2. get some glue to glue it back. or ask renault. never do proper job at factory.
  
  3. engine or dashboard or your cargo compartment?
  
  4. u already mention slow... wat gear are u at? low gear... low speed must clutch in more and rev more.. its a diesel.. tend to be more jerky as it has more torque

  Well, the tinkering sound appears to be coming from the bonnet area. It happens only when going up slopes
  
  And the jerkiness happens only when in gear 1 & 2, once in gear 3, no problems already.

  ya lor... u also said low gear...
  
  low gear will jerk more than the higher gears...
  
  but all ur problems are minor problems and can complain to renault...
  
  ur engine parts maybe lose or rubbing against each other when up the slope.. better get it checked soon...
