2 week old Škoda Kodiaq SE Drive suffered a dangerous fault this morning when the clutch stuck in the down position. I managed to limp home by pulling up pedal by hand. It stuck a couple more times but sometimes half way up so clutch could engage. Also experienced the strange sensation of clutch being sucked away from my foot towards the floor at times. Awaited the AA (via Skoda Assist) with 2 kids crying because they were missing a party. Although it happened 4 or 5 times while limping home, AA guy could not reproduce fault after he had vigerously pumped the clutch pedal multiple times. The AA followed me to the Skoda dealer where I left the car to be checked out. I have seen other similar posts (although older cars) where SKoda could not reproduce the problem. I don't want to be left with a car that cannot be trusted to transport my family safely - should I reject the car while still in first 30 days from purchase? Anyone had this problem fixed satisfactorily?

Agreed a price through drivethedeal.com and resigned myself to the long wait - now predicted to be at least 25 weeks. Have just received an email informing me that: "due to the 25 weeks delivery time for your car it will not be delivered by the end of December 2018 as it could be more like February 2019. That being the case you would not qualify for the extra discount of £1750 that Drive the deal have been offerering their customers." So Skoda have started offering negative incentives as compensation for their extraordinary wait times! Had to decline the kind offer - what has happened to Skoda? I had such a good experience buying an Octivia in 2013 but now they couldn't care less.
