Hey there,
I have just had a very worrying experience with our brand new MG HS + EV on the weekend.
Within two days of ownership the vehicle shifted into reverse on three separate occasions while in Drive. Each time, the only way to correct the issue was to turn the car off and restart it. This issue was witnessed by my passenger each time.
On Sunday night my husband was driving the car when it happened again. However this time when in Drive, the vehicle reversed suddenly with force, narrowly missing our child who was walking behind the car. The car then collided with our house.
A brief search online shows other owners of this car who’ve had similar incidents. So far, I have the names of 20 Australians who have commented on two MG Facebook pages, about this happening to them.
This is an extremely dangerous defect that could have resulted in serious injury or worse. Given the severity of the issue, I have requested the ACCC to investigate immediately.
Please contact me directly if you have experienced anything similar.
Thanks
