Crash due to Lane keep assist.

The wife complained about the constant beeping .... so on one occasion I didn't turn LKA off .... in only a few kms she complained there was something wrong with the steering, it keeps jerking in her hands, so I turned LKA off and the beeping started up .... Naturally, I was to blame for setting something up incorrectly ...... I explained the steering problem was related to the car trying to stay in the lane, when I turned that off, the audible warning tells you that you are wandering over the white lines ...... there was a short silence, but I couldn't help myself, I told her the car is just telling you that you are a crap driver, then I told her to try yelling at it and telling it to F off like you do when I mention it ;) :ROFLMAO: ..... Have I told you how much I love this MG4 :love:

Loving it, all bedrooms should have that new car smell :)

The wife has a crook foot at the moment, been that way for going on 2 yrs, so she is dependent on me to "go fetch" do the washing, empty the grey water and black water tanks as well as refilling the fresh water tank, specialist appointment driver and general "I have a list of things that need doing" handy man ...... it would be a tad inconvenient for her if I was living the life of luxury in the MG4 ;)

There are 15 vehicles in the yard now, she can only drive two of them, the MG4 and the poor old '92 EB Ford Fairmont ... if I was living in the MG4, she would only have the Ford to drive .... yet another reason I still get fed and get to live in the motorhome :cool::LOL:
That might all change when I can lean over the front of the Prius to install a new inverter coolant pump, probably another week but I might try to stretch that out a bit more ...... I had the cataract removed in my left eye on Monday, strict instructions, no leaning over for at least 7 days, she loves to drive my iTech Prius ..... so while it's off the road, she sort of has to be nice to me :love: and I'm the only one who can drive our house on wheels :D

We replaced our BMW i3 Rex with a 2022 MG4 Trophy Long Range a few days ago so this is my first post. We bought the car from a Peugeot Dealer who had no idea how anything worked on the MG so we drove it home with no test drive and no idea how anything on the touchscreen worked. The car is lovely to drive but the LKA is downright dangerous. We finally found out how to turn it off.
I don’t think the MG4 is necessarily any worse for the effect that LKA has on the car than any of the others, it is just that every time you select drive you have to reset the LKA to ‘disabled’ which involves one swipe and three touches on the screen to switch the bloody thing off. Our neighbour's Hyundai Ionic 5 has a push button on the end of the indicator stalk that disables the LKA in one operation. The whole concept of LKA is deeply flawed because it's responses depend entirely on what the cameras see (or misinterpret). It is probably fine (if annoying) on a motorway but on country lanes round here in Upper Weardale anything can set off the bleepers and wrench the steering wheel out of your hands. Most of the roads up here have no white line (or occasional bits of one) so it reacts to changes in the road surface (pothole patches a speciality), puddles, vegetation on the verge, snow poles, pheasants, sheep, etc, etc. Instead of being a 'safety feature' it is a defective gizmo which takes away driver control in order to achieve an NCAP rating. I was so sorry to hear of Toby's daughter's frightening experience but I fear it is the first of many such events which will ultimately result in court action against the car manufacturers, including MG

Whatever happened to driver responsibility, skills and being in control?

It turns itself on every time the car goes into "ready" mode, not when you put the car in Drive.

Welcome. It does sound like the software has not been updated along with the modules for LKA etc. A trip out and conversation at a MG dealer might help resolve that , as well as the many posts on this forum. There are downloads for the user manual plus more, and that can also be found on the screen in the car, although its a little awkward to read. Todays homework, lots of reading to do. 😀

Personally I think auto emergency braking is a much bigger issue, until you have it happen you don't understand.
 
Never had an issue with any of it*, even when people have left it far too late to cross in front of me.

I have a personal theory that I tend to overreact myself, by slowing, swerving slightly, and the car is happy that I have "acknowledged" the potential problem.

I will go with that theory until it does something unexpected...

* I have the sensitivities set to low, and the car is May 2024 built, December 2024 delivered, so maybe has the latest software version.

Scared me today. First thought: what on earth have I hit? Reversing to turn in a virtually empty parking area. At least 15 feet from the nearest object, a wall. Inexplicable - but still scary.

Oh god, yeah it can make you think you've hit something. I find it hates parked cars that are half on the kerb too, I know you should indicate to go round them but most of the ways out of my town are like it.

If you were reversing it was probably the rear-cross traffic system that intervened to “safe your car from impending doom”. I find that reversing into a car spot can trigger this system even if there is a car crossing over 20m behind me on a road outside the car park. I do leave it on though, because I prefer the occasional false trigger over backing into someone’s car or child.
