Hello everyone . I need help . I have a 3 week old mg zs ev. I was just driving and all the emergency systems showing "unavailable " on dashboard . And after i stoped the car and turned on again the brake was not functioning well anymore . I called AA but they couldn't delete the flag . Can you advise me what to do.

Try disconnecting the negative terminal of the 12 volt battery for a few minutes. This acts as a ctrl-alt-delete for the onboard computer and resets it.

They could have bent it or you bumped it while parking and you moved them down. That happened to me and I'm waiting for a part change. but the first thing is to go to your workshop

Yes my friend . Dont panic let it like that. Dont stop the car. Go ahead like 10 minutes .Turn on the "big air" for the windscreen . The problem is that the main camera at the back of the rear mirror ,is becoming "blind " because of the condensation and the car turns on the safety mode. If the dashboard signs are still on stop the car and disconnect the battery for more than 5 minutes. And turn it on. Then all will be good. I had so many times this problem, nobody chould fix it. Just me. The problem is the camera in the back of the rear view mirror . This must be clean, without this the car thinks you have a problem and cannot continue down the road . And since this is a computer, it must be reset fom the battery.

I had a problem on my ZS EV after collision with a pheasant. The only damage to my car was the radar module was angled slightly to the left. After this the anti collision and cruise control were showing as unavailable with an annoying bonging noise on start up and occasionally during driving as the system came in and out of availability.
Since I didn't think that pheasant collision would be covered under warranty, I just forced the module straight again. At first with just short journeys it was still the same but today after driving 50 miles or so it is working OK.
I will update this if it stays working or fails again.

Still working OK after one week so I think it was just the angle being out that caused the problem. I think after straightening it needs to be driven for a certain time or range so it can reset itself.

I did try disconnecting the battery before straightening it but that didn't work. Maybe disconnecting after I straightened it would have worked but I didn't think of that and I was doing the 50 mile drive anyway.
