Not sure mate as my car is downstairs - However, it is booked in on Wednesday, but have the option to reject tomorrow.... feel like I have a massive decision to make. Either 1) Reject the car tomorrow, and look at something else completely 2) Chance that the update might just fix all of the above, but then again, it might not Guessing you're keeping yours too?

As in fixes the "Loading Settings"? Is this linked to the SOS thing? I'm not convinced this will truly be fixed... so I might still push with rejection. I am guessing you're planning on keeping your car then mate?

Nice short post... I today, following my post yesterday highlighted my intention to reject this Octavia back to the dealer due to the following: 1) SOS Warnings 2) Numerous warnings including front assist etc 3) Infotainment regularly hanging on "Loading Settings" which even a restart doesn't sort (have to leave the car for 20 minutes instead) 4) Braking on the motorway when overtaking because the car thinks I am abroad 5) Various other things Apparently an update was released in the latter end of the afternoon yesterday (the 5th). Has anybody done this and can they confirm it has actually fixed the above? Personally, I still want to proceed with the rejection based on how poor the whole experience has been, but if it is genuinely fixed? Not sure I believe it though? Any insight would be most appreciated. All the best fellow Skoda owners! Jay

Long story short, I’ve had two MK4 Octavias… exchanged the first due to all of the known software issues, forever loading, sos, speaker pops, ACC thinking I’m under taking when overtaking (UK), front assist unavailable, manoeuvre braking unavailable etc, the whole lot. exchanged into another identical car, and low and behold it’s exactly the same. Dealer is promising there’s a fix on the horizon, but I’m not convinced. Do you think there will ever be a fix? I owe 21600 on the finance, and can sell to WeBuy for 20800 so will just suck up the rest if a rejection isn’t possible. The annoying thing is the car is lovely, but holy moly, I have never had an experience so bad and I’m at the end of my tether any Comments are appreciated thanks all Jay
