We owned a Ssangyong and Daewoo Musso and both were equally unreliable from new. In case you were wondering we bought another due to company car restrictions.

There are literally too many faults to list, but i’ll give it a go.

Paint peeling off a week after delivery, 4wd transfer case kept breaking on both, heater broke, central locking failed, diesel injectors replaced, lacquer peeled off alloys in carwash, radio died, constantly leaks oil & diesel, driveshaft came loose wrecking the clutch, bull bars fell off (admittedly a dealer fit option, rev-counter broken, glove box handle broke, signs of premature rust, windscreen washer broke, failed to start many times although this was never diagnosed.

In addition there was the usual litany of rattles and squeaks we never bothered complaining about.

Our cars did not have an unreasonably hard life in a third world country as they spent most of the time on the road in Ireland.

The Musso is a badly built, unreliable, cheaply finished banger and I am not the only owner who thinks so. In Ireland they have such a bad reputation that the dealers stopped importing them due to the warranty claims they had to address.

Overall such quality issues are totally unacceptable and the people building these cars should be ashamed of the product that they send around the world destroying the hard won reputation of the Korean car industry.
