Brand New MG S5EV, just over 2 months old and we have these issues...

1 - Driver Status Monitoring System, keeps saying it is not working, refer to manual and is blocked when not?

2 - The Touchscreen system is slow, and also completely disappears and restarts itself while driving!

3 - The SatNav is not very accurate, this you are on a different road nearby?

4 - Automatic Headlight/Smart High Beam is slow to react to a vehicle coming towards and turn off, can also be slow in switching to main beam when clear?

5 - Radio Reception, we have found the radio reception is poor, especially on DAB compared to our other vehicles? Also keeps switching from DAB to FM.

6 - Speed sensors, we have noticed that the road speed verification on the dashboard is often wrong to what the speed limit of the road is and is often different to the one listed on the Sat Nav compared to the dashboard?

Do any other MG S5 EV owners have these problems? Or have we been sold a dud car?
 
@LandoLeek

Welcome to the MG Community forums. Unfortunately, you have posted to the wrong "model"! This is the forum for the MG5, you have the MG S5!

@Rolfe @MG Clive perhaps this post could/should be moved?
 
Some of the features you mention just don't work that well so are better switched off. The only item on your list that would cause me concern is frequent rebooting of the Infotainment Unit so I'd be talking the dealer about that one.

Even when the driver monitoring camera is turned off it is still saying it's got a fault! Trying to return the car
