    Locked in my MG4 & unable to escape - Serious Safety Issue

    Unfortunately not, none of the controls respond to any inputs. If the windows are up, the only accessible mechanical lock is in the boot under a plastic cover. For the less than nible, this poses quite the challenge if there is no outside help with a spare key.

    Locked in my MG4 & unable to escape - Serious Safety Issue

    Unfortunately I think you are right, this car has the latest software release, so the issue is an insidious one within the vehicle. Could be a ticking time bomb for others. All it takes is for someone to stop at lights and apply the handbrake as you would, then you are stuffed. Also slowing...

    Locked in my MG4 & unable to escape - Serious Safety Issue

    So far it is still with the dealer waiting for a reply from MG. I suspect its not the key, but a communication error between the car and the fob/s. When the car had the issue while I was driving, I had both keys in the car as I was taking it back to the dealer. What I did notice is that when...

    Locked in my MG4 & unable to escape - Serious Safety Issue

    This happened to my wife and myself. It is extremely serious as it locked her in the car with my children on a busy road. Luckily she managed to figure out a solution by using the mechanical key inside the electronic key and climb out the boot using the mechanical switch. When it happened to...
