Yes the faults do seem to be intermittent but it’s getting to the point where every morning when I get into it, my first thought is ‘what’s not going to work today….’ Which isn’t something I feel I should be having to consider given the car is a ‘premium vehicle’ one from a reputable manufacturer and I have only owned for 3 weeks. I have been out with a technician already and in their defence some issues they have indeed sorted, however these were as I mentioned fairly insignificant, the issue with the emergency braking is appearing to be an intermittent fault and not even able to be predicted (hence why I was not able to replicate it with the technician) which in my eyes makes it all the more dangerous, as there is zero warning. The issue I have and to the point where I feel the car is dangerous, is the intermittent emergency braking? I cannot for the life of me think why this wouldn’t be considered as an issue? I had made it very obvious from taking ownership of the vehicle that this was a long term car (putting private plate on) deciding on a good deal PCP and even wanting to spend the money getting the towbar fitted. I did take a video of the steering wheel volume control not working, however as the emergency braking activated the day after I purchased the vehicle, I haven’t been able to capture it. The drivers side window had a fault where the window went down when trying to put it up and vice versa. The battery in my key has been replaced by myself around 5 days ago, so unfortunately it’s not that that’s the issue. My worry here (and I have heard it on other forums) is that the emergency braking activating without warning, does seem to be a fault and dangerous but for whatever reason isn’t flagging up? I have entirely lost all confidence in the vehicle and do class it as ‘unfit for purpose’ etc.

Hello, I am hoping someone can help here… I purchased a 2018 DSG TDI Sportline 4x4 7 Seat Kodiaq from my local dealer 3 weeks ago and in all honesty I have had so many issue with it! it all started to e day AFTER I collected the car, I was travelling at around 40mph on a straight and VERY clear road when out of nowhere (and with no warning) the car emergency braked on its own! There was nothing on the road, no cars, objects or people and thankfully nobody behind me! I called the dealer and got them to look at it and apparently there’s ‘no fault’? This coupled with: Apple Car play intermittently working Faulty drivers side window Volume Control on the steering wheel intermittently working Keyless entry intermittently working and knocking from the passenger front suspension Has really made me loose confidence in the car. It’s been back to the dealer 4 times in the three weeks I have owned it and I wrote to them on Friday stating I wish to use my ‘short term right to reject’ the vehicle due to the very random and in my option extremely dangerous random Emergency Braking (with I am assuming is part of Front Assist), the dealer have refused and are only offering me an exchange to another vehicle. It absolutely blows my mind that they cannot see how this issue doesn’t qualify the car as ‘unfit for purpose’ or of ‘unsatisfactory quality’ I am at a total loss of what to do? They wanted me to go out with a technician for the second time to try to make it fault (as the issue is so intermittent and I frankly have no idea when it will happen) this hasn’t been possible? Can anyone offer me some advice as to what the hell I do next?! I am at my wits end! Thanks
