Agree about the subjectivity of the issue entirely. Personally I'm convinced it is mechanical rather than electronic as it is harmonic related (was a mechanical design engineer back in the day but this is just my opinion). Be interested to see what the 'revised suspension components' are when...

Not in the UK - quote from Gary Smart (MG UK customer services) in an e-mail to me a few weeks back:- "We know that all MG4 X-Power, currently include this characteristic, usually around 60-70 mph." So anyone who hasn't got these vibrations is wrong, apparently ;)

I had it in an email from the sales manager at Howards Yeovil that of the 10 X-Powers they had sold, only 1 had the vibration issue (plus the manager had 2 as 'demo' cars, neither of which had the issue - I spent a day with one of these and confirmed this for myself). I forwarded this email to...

On a practical level, particularly as car parks are private property, keep any witness statements safe and ask the supermarket if there is any CCTV footage of the incident -sadly often even if a person admits liability verbally at the scene, they often change their story once they've had some...

That is a good plan. Whatever you do, don't try and challenge MG UK with the facts around the vibration issue only being present on some cars - they will completely ignore any evidence you provide to them and state several times that you are wrong and that every x-power is badly affected...... VOE

Sorry to hear this - what a complete nightmare :(

So amazingly the failed braking module is in stock with MG UK so fix estimated to be ~10 days so we'll let them try. In the interim have demanded a like-for-like courtesy car as the MG3 is diabolical so waiting to hear on that. If this does fully fix it, at least the master technician (really...

I haven't got the links to hand but I know of only 2 videos where the vibration issue is mentioned.

No we own the car outright. I’ll wait until I have the estimated time of completion of the fix and decide then whether to go the rejection route. Just paid £430 on ceramic coating so will be fighting for compensation if we do have go down this route.

So got email from the technician and it looks like the integrated brake control system module has gone down - apparently a first on any MG4 model (guess I’m just lucky!) Will find out hopefully tomorrow how many more weeks or possibly months we’ll be without the car, again as the replacement...

Got it back to the dealer. Apparently they are struggling to communicate with it (and me as I was supposed to have update before they just closed but radio silence). Given an MG3 courtesy car with a flat battery and empty fuel tank - nice to know I'm a valued customer......

Back in 2020, I had to wait 6 months for windscreen for our Tesla model 3!

Ours broke down after just 300 miles (multiple error messages and parking brake would not release, even with override switch so was stuck on driveway). On way back to dealer today. Not happy at all. Hoping for a quick and comprehensive fix but already I think this will be our last MG.

So to update this one. I had the email of the MG master tech so pinged him an email on Saturday late afternoon and really surprised when he came back with helpful advise. Said he’d never had this type of fault before but advise disconnecting the 12v and the HV battery (just involves removing a...

Just hope they find what has caused this fault as my wife is seriously unimpressed- she’ll be driving it as much as me and is now worried she’ll get stranded somewhere. Have said to the dealer if they can’t definitively specify what has caused this break down then we’ll have to reject it
