Those accidents and life changing Injuries and deaths are not happening.   If those with these inherently dangerous standard cars keep reporting them to the DVSA / DfT and MP,s and the Secretary of state for Transport you can be sure that nothing will change other than the new Safety Features that become compulsory by the EU in 2022 will also be in the UK.    PS.  Drivers are responsible for their vehicles roadworthiness.  If a vehicle is unsafe drop it off at a VW group approved repairer or have Skoda Assist collect the vehicle and so not drive it untill it is safe to drive.

Hi OctaviaFirstEdit

 

Nothing will be done regarding the assisted braking issue until more incidents are reported and starts to cause serious crashes and people killed, them maybe the will sit up and take notice.

My car is booked in for a major service later this month, i will report my incidents to them and get it checked out but I already know what the answer will be, everything is fine.

 

If Skoda Connect don't get back to me with a fix for the no internet connection I will get them to try that as well.

Yep, they told me it was all fine. It clearly wasn't. Not ideal buying a car to drive your family around in and it randomly breaks for no good reason!

 

I got rid of it and got a mk 3.5 and it is fabulous. Can't speak more highly of the car. But, the mark IV was so frustrating. There is a good car in there if they bothered to test everything properly first.
