Hi Robert, I haven't been on the forum for a while but I'm still experiencing regular over-revving even after the update and 5500 miles on the clock. In their response to you MG several times refer to a cause of the high revving being to recharge the battery. I do not agree. Many times I've...

Hybrid Ann, I'm a bit embarrassed about it but I think your are right. I probably stopped on my drive in EV and never pressed the "start" button. Then didn't bother locking the door so no horn alarm. Then sunbathed for 2 hour, 5ft away, and never heard a peep from the car until the engine...

Hi David, I usually lock the car at home but sometimes forget when I've unloaded shopping, dogs etc. I have the MG App but didn't use it and there are several steps on the app before you can engage AC and the engine. I initially thought I'd sat on the keys and I'm only sitting 5ft away from the...

Weirdest thing just happened! We have been sat in the garden sunbathing for the last 2 hours and the car engine started up. The keys were on a kitchen shelf. We had been out in the car and it was unlocked but pretty sure I turned engine off via the start button. Would the car start up two hours...

Hi Noel, I'm assuming that they consider my claim under CRA and then, having stated MG's reasons, refuse the claim and thus my rejection of the car. My only redress then is via the independent Motor Ombudsman. I suppose it's a bit like when a well known bank refused my claim on a mis-sold...

Hi Noel, Thanks for your post. As my dealer, having consulted MG Customer Care, has rejected my claim under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, I will be referring the matter to the Motor Ombudsman. I didn't really want to be the first to start this action as I know very little about cars to be...

Hi Alex, Unfortunately, I bought via cash and trade in so no finance involved. ☹️ I may fill in the motor ombudsman form and see what additional evidence I require. Mickel, Thanks again for your comments and advice. Interesting that the Kona continues to accelerate on high revs. My ZS...

Thanks Mickel. The videos are on this thread somewhere showing the constant over-revving uphill. One of them also shows a time where I had no acceleration and was overtaken by a transit and trailer. The overtaking issue has happened twice but I cannot video all the time. My wife has to lean over...

Some interesting news for those of us still concerned with the over-revving issue. I really enjoy the car but It's got to the point where I'm convinced there is a serious, intermittent, fault causing the over-revving. Not necessarily with every MG ZS Hybrid but certainly with mine. I can fly up...

Thanks for the laugh! 😁 Though I think I'd rather imagine myself in Led Zeppelin. 🎸 There are no car dealers anywhere near here so no chance of getting a test drive. My one neighbour has a BMW hybrid and surprisingly has no problems with the hill climbs. 😁 My other neighbour has a Renault Clio...

Hi Noel & Robert, Thanks for your comments. I will forward the videos to my dealer and ask them to send them to MG for their views. I planned on keeping this car for several years (until state pension age - 6 years) but I doubt the engine will make it until then so I'm going to explore my right...

As it was a lovely day today we took a trip to the seaside. Along the way we use a steep climb and descent (Dinas Mawddwy). We managed to get a few videos of the cars performance. The first shows a comfortable drive to the start of the climb followed by a very loud engine and revs around...

Hi DMeine, Fortunately I have not had many of the problems you list. Hope you get them sorted. Other issues I have in addition to the over-revving are Brakes squealing when starting off. Even now after 3500+ miles. My dealer is liaising with MG to get permission to fix this. No graphic...

Diwat123 I acknowledge your opinion that the video doesn't show any issues with the car. I disagree. I don't wish to get into any argument but I do find some of your comments a little offensive. In your last post you are virtually calling me a liar as regards my statement to Alex on overall mpg...

Hi AlexB1998 Thanks for your comments. I'm regularly in EV mode and achieving around 60mpg+ each journey now - motorways and otherwise. I'm surprised you feel 3000 revs at 30mph is normal. In the video the revs only dropped as I generally lift my foot off the pedal when it hits 3000. This went...
