Hi, My Skoda Kamiq 2021 (Tech model) has been showing a message "Impaired sensor". This fault disabled the cruise control and lane assist functions but intermittently. Also sent a message, in red, "BRAKE" and no reason for the message. The service centre checked out the sensor and thought they found a minuscule amount of bird poop - cleaned it? and cleared the fault codes. They also could not find the problem on a test drive. A return visit said the mirror housing had shifted very slightly and this could have caused the problem. Sure enough the fault returned, randomly occurring on short and long drives when the cruise control is in position. After a second check, the service centre said they would order a replacement (under warranty). A shortage of service mechanics led to a new service centre taking on the problem with a new team of mechanics and they will start again. Since then, a new problem arose. The car gave a message "No key detected". There was no warning that the key fob battery was low? We had the fob battery changed about 2 years ago, after a message on screen. This time, it went into alarm mode and locked me in the car! Eventually managed to use the second fob and replaced both key fob batteries. Same message today. On another forum, US based, it was suggested that it could be the car battery needing replacement? Or, a software update? As I typed this, the service centre phoned and the car is booked in for next week. Of course this all happened whilst my husband is o'seas. Any advice? (not on the husband!) 🙃
