Dangerous unexpected braking!! software update.

[richiespark]

Thank you to all who responded to my thread 'Dangerous unexpected braking!!' I contacted the dealer (Baylis Gloucester) who have today installed a software update. Hopefully the problem is resolved.

I am curious as to what this update is. Is it the latest BMS or some sub module update. What cars are affected?

If there is a software update in response to 'Dangerous unexpected braking' as suggested, MG should be updating all affected vehicles who have the problem software.

If an accident were to occur as a result of a software update not being applied causing 'Dangerous unexpected braking' who would be to blame.

Unlikely to be an update to the Battery Management Software (BMS)

I meant comfort 2 software update.

It's the "fob you off" update that they apply when they don't know what's wrong with it.

I think the same as I am unaware of any new update to deal with dangerous unexpected braking.
I would hope dealers are not telling porky pies as this may be fraudulent.
Also if an accident occurs and the dealer has stated the problem has been fixed they may be liable, as they have accepted there was a problem and applied a fix.

Maybe the update to fix it was, cleaning the camera / radar!!

Maybe they oiled the brakes, so they don't brake as hard.
