Picked up the car today and drove about 20 miles. None of the "Emergency Braking Unavailable", "Pedestrian Auto Emergency Braking Unavailable", "ACC Unavailable" errors, which used to occur on most journeys within a few minutes. Good start. If the car makes it to September (when my 6 months is...

Accelerator pedal replaced, test driven no fault codes. Picking up tomorrow. Here's hoping.

After the disconnect I was able to engage neutral to push the car to the side of the road. The manual states that the car should not be jump started as it could damage (something). Clearly that refers to it being in Drive. I really think this is a problem which the industry needs to...

I get that this is an emergency fix. Surely it's wrong that we just accept this? It's a dangerous fault which we really must not let the manufacturers and dealers get away without fixing.

For completeness - and I have expressed this strongly to the MD of the dealership - this fault is very dangerous. Without it being fixed I wouldn't drive it again. My wife will take some convincing to get back in the car once its fixed. When the HV battery disconnects the car suddenly judders...

OK it's been a while but it's a good time to update the forum. Firstly, the disconnect happened again. I had the AA recover it to Cars2 MG Barnsley without interacting with the fault codes in any way. While being recovered I emailed the MD to report the fault had happened again, to state that...

I would buy that solution

I drove it yesterday for a couple of hours. It's driving fine. Just like it did last Monday. Until it fails again, just like it did last Tuesday. It's possible it was the software update as you say. I suspect I'll have to drive it until it fails again. If it does the same again I'm rejecting...

Response from the dealer is a firm "there are no faults to fix, we do not accept your rejection". Turns out Wakefield MG did a software update after all, not to fix a fault but just to bring it up to date. Hmm. I'm away for a couple of weeks now without the car. I'll think about it while I'm...

Dealer has responded. To cut to the chase "we don't have any error codes so we can't do anything". They also tried denying my ability to reject after 30 days. My response FYI... I accept that I am now outside the initial 30 days. I have the right to reject the car within 6 months if the...

That is incredibly useful thank you. I've emailed the dealer I bought the car from (MG Barnsley) saying this is the route I'm taking. They are gathering information from MG Wakefield and will get back to me.

Thank you. I'll have to google for the CRA2015 rights and procedures. No doubt the dealer will argue strongly against this - where do I take this to after that ? Someone mentioned an ombudsman. I'll research, but pointers and shortcuts would be very welcome.

Not good news really. I picked up the car today, to be told they could not find or fix anything because there were no error codes. The first battery death event, the RAC cleared the codes. I gave the service desk the printout but they claimed this wasn't enough. The second battery death event...

Yes I've put one in the car. Good to have this as an emergency action, but to me it's not acceptable for a brand new car to have these issues. We should not be simply tutting and saying "it's the computer what can you do".

Dealer had nothing available. I didn't push it this time. Hopefully all will be well now but how do you get the courtesy car from the AA?
