braking

Bit overzealous, isn't it? Nearly resulted in a bus going into the back of me today. Average B road, oncoming car was driving safely on their side of the road, my car suddenly goes from 20mph to 0 to the alarm of the bus driver (following at a safe distance). Just wondering what would have...

Hi All, Has anyone with R33 on their car noticed any difference in ACC behaviour compared to R30. I find what when using ACC, even with regen set to 1 or to adaptive the car will come up behind a car to the set distance but brake (or use motor braking most likely) until it falls back, then...

[ Moderator: Merging threads on this important and emotive issue. Please use this thread for all unwanted AEB issues. ] Driving out of a Morrison's supermarket at the weekend my MG4 suddenly decided to [for the want of a better phrase] emergency brake. This happened once before in the new year...

I'm sure most people know that auto-cruise control slows down using the brakes rather than regen which is annoying, but in normal driving then most people think that you get regen when braking? I remember when I posted about my test drive with the ZS and said that I didn't like the fact that it...

In our area, sheep roam free, but are pretty street-wise. We have been aware that our MG is pretty quiet, perhaps silent at low speeds, so have been careful when sheep are in the road. Today, I was coming home, and fortunately was going quite slowly. I saw two holidaymakers with two large black...

Apologies if this has been covered previously. I have a second generation long range and have started to use the autohold function a bit more recently. I noticed that waiting at lights etc if I were to put my foot on the brake instead this would still use some energy whereas the autohold would...

Today our MG4 automatically braked on a level crossing with no other vehicles in sight. I was within in the barriers and the car wouldn’t move for what seemed like ages. I have never been so frightened in my life and my heart was pumping. I was debating whether to just run and leave the car on...

In addition to the MG4 which my wife drives, I also own a Skoda Enyaq. In the Enyaq, the "HOLD" parking brake works and is displayed on the control panel when it is applied and this applies whether the vehicle is in forward or reverse mode. However, in the MG4 there appears to be no visual...

I just did my first long motorway trip in the ZSEV. I love the ACC but I notice if the car slows from say 70mph to 60mph because of traffic ahead when it stops accelerating and starts breaking you don’t get any regenerative breaking so nothing on the automatic slow down is going back into the...

I have a ZS which was new last August but I have only started using cruise control recently. I have noticed that when the cruise control slows the car, because I am approaching a slower moving vehicle, there doesn’t appear to be any regeneration happening - no green light on the power side of...

So I was driving up a steep hill, approaching road works where the road was down to a single lane controlled by temporary traffic lights. Foot off the gas so was slowing quite quickly, the car in front was turning left just before the roadworks, the traffic lights turned green so no oncoming...

I was reading an article recently where Porsche said they weren't going to introduce one pedal driving because it was more efficient to use electric brakes i.e the foot pedal. This got me thinking that my knowledge was rusty. I thought that when you pressed the foot pedal you were using the...

Just been out in the MG4 with the family, and a young boy has just run off from his mum into the road Infront of us, before I had time to slam on, the car had already detected the little boy lit the dashboard up like a Christmas tree and performed an emergency stop. I'd like to think I would...

Hello! I've noticed that my ZS EV long-range can apply the brakes while in cruise control to slow down when I go round a bend, even if there are no cars in front of me. I see the logic, as it thinks I'd lose control if I take a corner too quickly, but it's far too sensitive in my opinion...

This started yesterday on startup. The warning “Regenerative Braking Effect Reduced” flashes up on the drivers binicle on start up. Is this a ‘return to dealer’ issue, or can it be fixed easily? ?

Regen breaking is not working as it usually does. The battery is not fully charged, so it's not that. Does the cold weather have an adverse effect on the regen brake?

Has anyone else noticed that the regen braking does not seem to work when on cruise control? I have now seen the same thing in two HS PHEVs, so thinking that this might be a common thing. When in adaptive cruise control, the power does not go below 0 % when the car slows down. If I disengage...

I have owned my ZSEV Mk1 since September 2020 and still love the drive. I took it to my Service Dealer - Chorley Motors MG in Burnley last week for its second service and as always, they did a superb job. On collecting the car, I asked if there where any updates and they said - "yes they had...

I have just upgraded from a ZS EV non facelift to a facelift Trophy Long Range. One of the first things that I noticed was that the regen braking seems weaker. Do other people who have gone from a non facelift to a facelift feel the same?

Hi all, I've just seen some posts from @Bamboo and @RichRead about brake issues with their ZS EVs, thought I'd add our experience as well as this doesn't seem to be a small issue. We've got a 2021 ZS EV bought in June from new. For the first 7 months the car was fine. We'd noticed that...
