Skoda kodiaq Hybrid 9 months old…
Skoda kodiaq Hybrid 9 months old decided it didn't want to drive anymore. Pulling into the culdisack "Hybrid System failure" recovery was arranged and a courtesy car dropped off. The apologies to the neighbours for not being able to pass the stricken vehicle blocking the entrance.
Skoda Letchworth had the car for exactly 1 week the fix " they ran a software update" the car was collected and approximately 20miles later on a very busy carriageway live lane it decided the updated wasn't the fix and the car flashed the same message " Hybrid system failer" now once the car has displayed this warning of the Hybrid system failure there is no drive not from the Hybrid system nor the combustion engine. Nothing this thing is stationary. Fast forward 5 weeks our brand new car is sitting in the back of letchworth skoda car park where it has sat waiting for them to recieve a special tool... no updates ( unless we've chased for one ) car hasn't moved ( tracked ) 5 weeks for a special tool they now claim to have received, and alk we have to wait for now is the special technician that know how to work on this Hybrid car with a new shiny special tool. Such a shame these electric cars have been pushed through because they are unreliable expensive to repair and evidently they havnt got the tools or the know how to keep these expensive portable battery packs on the road.
