Had mine 3 months and have a growing list of error messages etc. Reading the Skoda Facebook groups the 85 series seems to be having a lot of these sorts of problems, especially brand new cars. Charge port cover not opening, had this from the first week when I went to look at it. Dealers advice, let it get worse until it breaks then we’ll look at it! Had the “drive system not working correctly” several times, just switch it off, wait 10mins and try again. Had a new one last week, cold and raining in Tesco’s car park, went to drive off and got a nice big red warning saying the electrical system was overheating! › Stop driving! Stop the vehicle and switch off ignition. › Do not top up with coolant! › Seek the help of a specialist garage. Again turned off/on again after 10mins and it’d cleared. Several other things that really shouldn’t be happening, terrible phone quality, over zealous emergency braking etc. etc., unless these are sorted out when this goes back in 2027 I certainly won’t be getting another one.
On the FB Group are there many other owners having the same problems with faults ?
