I’ve started proceedings to reject my car I’ve had it 3 weeks and everyday something happens!
So looks like 22 my is no better
That’s a shame mate, I’m on the mY22 and it’s been spot on. But I get your frustrations, it’s one of the reasons why I got shot of the VZ Edition

I have just handed my VZ edition Formentor back to the dealership. I had it for 229 days and it spent 79 of them in their garage, and climate control still didn't work (along with lots of other things)
It had all the bells and whistles on it , looked amazing but had endless electrical glitches. Admittedly some were related to the fitting of a tracker ,but reading what you guys have put, this was by no means the root of my issues.
I have to admit I cried when I handed it back as I really wanted it to work and it has all the potential to be a phenomenal motoring experience. beyond disappointed!
So... I've bought a Mercedes :ROFLMAO:

They have the feeling of those Casio Waveceptor digital watches a few years back that didn't tell you the time and reverted back to year zero ;). Take them to Japan and they would work again or fiddle with the settings in the back. Casio never admitted it's fault but Amazon were full of negative reviews.... I see the one on the windowsill here is showing 2005. You had to miss that product range period for a good experience.... Waveceptors before and after were good, have one of each:p. Two others are perfect. ;)

Well rejection process was started yesterday so let’s hope this gets done asap

Don’t count on an easy/early resolution.

I read a post recently (think it was on FB) that Cupra had recently denied a rejection. I guess they are getting so many they are starting to play hard ball.

I hope yours goes well as I know the hassle involved as my rejection was completed recently and took in the order of 4-5 months to complete and agree everything.

I’m sure I’m within my rights as I’ve not had the car for 30 days so it’s under the consumer rights?

I flagged mine for rejection right after the first week of ownership, it was gone three weeks later.

Well, I booked warranty repair in November, so I can start rejection process. Worst case scenario, I will waste time on visit to the service.

What's disappointing and strange, is that the car started relatively ok and is getting worse in terms of software. It only had undertaking prevention issue and kmh/mph problems. Now it's throwing more errors, some random.

I'm getting warnings about my right side front fog light

My service manager thinks it could be something with the wiring. I'll be scheduling the service next week
Just reading this thread as I get this a lot, had the car about 5 weeks. Did you get yours sorted.

I get that, another example of lazy software implementation.
I must say, the CarPlay graphics are pretty rubbish.

Ok so 700 miles in here's my list of gremlins...
  1. sometimes phone will not connect android auto tested and it's the car not the phone,more often than not it works though.
  2. quite a lot the audio volume/radio ect is a lot louder when i first start the car and i have to lower it straight away.
  3. 3 times now i've had a message appear on the dash saying about the road sign reading tech was not available whilst driving.
  4. today i had a message come up on the dash and stay for a minute or so saying trafic assistant not available ,left 3 amber warnings on the dash for about 10 mins .
  5. very annoying parking sensor warnings when turning into a right hand street/road just as you turn normally.
  6. front parking sensor sometimes comes on when when i'm in very slow traffic or at the lights,(rare)
  7. a few times i've had a message appear on the infotainment screen saying changing car settings on starting up when ive not touched anything. :rolleyes:
