I think the problem arose from MGs software being a bit of a pile of pooh to begin with and updating random modules just caused further issues.
This is absolutely right to be fair. I had a VW before the MG, and its lane keep and adaptive cruise control was fantastic. So good, I never bothered to turn the lane keep off at any stage of ownership, and used the ACC at every opportunity. Such a great system, especially in comparison to the MG.
How old was that Volkswagen?
My Cupra is exactly the same, the Born had some software issues (not safety) when it was first released fixes were quickly released and my one has been rock solid since I bought it at the start of the year.
Did it have steering correction? Cause not every car did in 2019.
Yes, it certainly did. Using the ACC on the motorways for example, it virtually negotiated some slight bends by itself…although it would tell you off for not holding the wheel after a while!
Must have different software to me. As shown, I don't always have the option at all.
It seems to but is not consistent.
So you switched the LKA off after pressing the brake pedal and it still switched itself on. Sounds like a software update is needed.
Yes.
Possibly. That's not happening for another 11 months. Two year service intervals here.
In the UK we don't have to wait for the service to get the software updated if there's a problem but I guess your nearest dealer is hours away.
About 40 minutes but it's not a free option outside of scheduled services. Given it's a multi hour job, it would not be cheap. Once I build up the energy I'll put in a call to the dealer about it.
Did your head lights switch on and off, e.g. driving through tunnels?
Could you try it as a warranty claim? Probably hard to make that point with software, but at the same time it sounds your software might be glitching and is therefor "not fit for purpose"? It'll be a long shot I guess...
