I've owned the car for 3 months. Here is the list of problems I've encountered:
1) The front right window is not sealed and lets both air and water into the car. When I took it to the dealer they told me this was a problem with all of the MG4s. They didn't even look at the problem.
2) The range I am getting is around 150km, not the advertised 360km. The car is perpetually on the maximum energy usage it will show (28.7kwh/100km). Even with intelligent battery heating off, the cars efficiency is often so bad it runs up on its display limit. I am not driving inefficiently - I'm pretty much only regenerative breaking and keeping the power usage under 40.
3) About 1/4 of the time the car just refuses to start charging (despite trying multiple chargers).
4) Not sure if this is an issue - but the wireless charging for the phones never worked for me.
5) Sensors are randomly going off saying my tire pressure is low despite showing normal tire pressure.
6) The lane assist is terrible and needs to be turned off every time you enter the car. It honestly feels like the car is trying to drive you off the road and kill you.
And finally - two days ago I left the car with 70% charge. It's now completely dead, stranding me in Switzerland. I'm told it might be the 12v battery? How is the 12v battery dead 3 months into owning the car?
What are my options here? I feel completely deceived by the dealer and the reviews. Do I just sell the car and cut my losses? Or is this a lemon and I should petition MG for a new car? The car is less reliable than a used car 1/10 its price.
