Although I have had my Karoq for 9 months, I have only had this engine cutting out problem on three occasions. The first two happened while I was talking to others in the car and the engine cut out as I was slowing down for a roundabout, but I dismissed it as possible driver error whilst being distracted. But then it happened a couple of days ago I was on my own approaching a give way at a T-junction. I had my foot depressing the foot pedal selecting second such that I could do a rolling give-way as I could see it was clear in advance of reaching the junction, (with Stop-Start disabled). But on pressing the accelerator I realised that the engine had cut-out. A message on the dash confirmed I should manually start the engine with the start button. This engine fired up immediately and I was able to continue my journey. I now realise that this was the same problem that had manifested itself before. On mentioning it to another family member, she admitted that she too had experienced this on one occasion when she borrowed the car. This is a problem that I consider is potentially dangerous as the possibility of an accident is evident. The fact that Skoda has not recognised this as a problem common to the 1.5 Tsi manual given all the previous posts on this same issue, has resulted in me losing confidence in the car and in Skoda as a caring manufacturer.
