I quite agree i have purchased MGs since 2011 and dealt with a MG dealer who was established in 1945 and suffered no problems sorting any faults out then 12 months ago MG took the franchise off this small dealership because they couldn't store or sell enough cars so there's no loyalty from MG to...

This is unbelievable in 2025 I thought the bad old days of car engineering and communication from the manufacturer were long over

Just a thought was Lespresso,s car built in August or was it registered in August it could have been built earlier then August, my car was registered in April but built in February, he needs to check the build date

😄

Hi Clive that makes me worry about the safety of my front seat passenger if the cars were left hand drive then both seats brackets need replacing my wife is already worried about traveling in the car i better not tell her the cars tested were left hand drive

Hi it would be great to know the supplying dealerships reaction when they receive your letter

HI Clive my dealership has just contacted me basically saying MG UK are taking this matter seriously and are liaising with the relevant authorities but up to yet the dealers haven't had any feedback from MG about solving this problem and they will let customers know when there is an update i...

I emailed MG on Friday morning they haven't replied i rang my dealership on Saturday morning they promised to ring back up to yet no one has contacted me my dealership has nearly every new MG in stock apart from the MG3

Hi the Forrest dweller I purchased mine on the 17th of April which makes it coming up to 5 months the car now as 2500 miles on the clock intresting I didn't know you could reject the car within 6 months for safety reasons

I have contacted the dealership where I purchased the car from 5 months ago by email asking their advice about the situation but I presume they will be in the dark as well, they are going to get the service department to call me on Monday the 15th, in the email I've asked if my car is safe to...

I've have spoken to my car insurance company who have said they are monitoring the situation because there is still a 4 star NCAP rating on the car the insurance will stay the same but if a recall isn't carried out insurance ratings will have to change due to the seriousness of the failure

Just been on Auto Trader the dealership where I purchased mine from in wolverhampton is advertising a new MG 3 Trophy in white for £ 16995 and other dealers around Birmingham for around £18000 hope this isn't due to the NCAP review

MGs response has certainly knocked my confidence in MG and my MG3, ive owned various MGs from the MG6 original MG3 two ZSs and and an HS, so I've gave MG a lot of money over the years, at the present time do i keep it and wait to see what MG does, try to trade it in but I've got a feeling...

MG3 seat fault on internet AI overview MG Response MG has committed to improving the design of the drivers seat latching mechanism and the air bag system No retrospective fixes These improvements will not be applied to vehicles already delivered to customers So unless MG are forced to carry...

I emailed MG customer care today asking their opinion and what they are going to do about it up to yet I haven't received a response

MG asked the same question about the NCAP testing whether the seat was locked in position according to the Autocar report NCAP informed MG that the seats are checked before testing begins since April I have had minor problems with interior fittings coming loose but I wasn't expecting to read the...

I agree we don't want the cars off the road but it's still a catastrophic failure and MG seem to think that modifying new cars by October is a sufficient outcome you would think MG wouldn't like the bad publicity and would start notifying owners as soon as possible and what they are going to do...

It's not only the seat mechanism in the report the drivers airbag didn't inflate sufficiently and the test dummies head hit the steering wheel so basically is the car safe to drive mine was registered in April so it's un modified but what puzzles me if NCAP tested the MG3 when they was...

Thanks for the reply John much appreciated

Hi I went into the settings, and the radar, steering tracks, and the peace of mind turning are all switched on but the camera still doesn't come on when stationary with the indicators on it comes on when I select drive and start to move away and then goes out when I reach 10 mph does the car...

Mine doesn't come on when the vehicle is stationary with the indicators on it comes on when I move away and start to turn is this normal

I haven't noticed it on my car but I have encountered the same problems in my previous job in the light rail industry where the vehicle was stabled with the direct sun on the driver's display screen the screen would stay blank till the temperature decreased there may be a thermostatic cut out...

Hi Pete VF Autozone based in London adverise MG 3 Hybrid wind deflectors on ebay with delivery dates on the 6th September it says MG3 LSE in the advert but the picture is the Hybrid model

HI Pete According to MG and internet sites the gearbox changes up and down it's gears below 50 mph when it's deemed necessary in climbing hills or an extra load is placed on the car etc the increased noise on my car happens when it is charging the batteries

Agreed other owners on the ZS hybrid model have had software updates for the over revving with mixed results personally I think another 2 gears making it a five speed would transform the MG 3, for the money in the UK It's not a bad car and serves my driving criteria now I'm retired and only...

I've had mine since April now done 2000 miles problems encountered so far tail gate strut replaced high level brake light cover replaced due to it being loose and vibrating the engine reving seems to affect the majority of cars MG says it's normal i think the car is limited by the 3 speed gearbox

I Pete i have noticed the steering is lighter and I can feel a reduction in engine power but I was expecting the mpg to be better in Eco maybe I drive it harder in Eco to obtain the same engine power as in normal mode so the reduction in mpg in Eco maybe my fault hope you're enjoying yor car...

Hi have owners found the eco mode any more economical i have tried eco for a few days and then reverted back to normal according to the mpg read out the car did more mpg in normal then in eco

Hi Pete ive noticed a lot of wind pressure flowing over the door mirrors don't know if that is the cause most owners seemed to have fitted Heko wind deflectors
