Dear Mr Wang
I am writing to express my immense anger and frustration in the face of the ongoing problems I have encountered with the MG HS DAB Radio and other issues plaguing my vehicle. I have already communicated with Motability to keep them informed, and they have explicitly requested that I file this formal complaint and urge you to take immediate action to rectify these faults. Furthermore, I have been made aware of the dedicated team within Motability that will work tirelessly to ensure prospective MG buyers are well-informed about the numerous faults plaguing these vehicles.
Firstly, I am appalled that I was never informed about the release of the new style MG, which appears to have resolved many of the issues that the 23 plate model should have had in the first place. It is clear to me that MG purposely withheld this information, leading me to believe that they deliberately released an inferior product, only to rectify the faults in a subsequent model. This is an outrageous display of negligence and disrespect towards loyal MG customers.
The problems with the MG HS DAB Radio are beyond comprehension. Despite numerous attempts to address the emergency braking lights and the emergency pedestrian stop malfunctions, the response from your team has been lackluster, to say the least. I refuse to accept that this is an isolated incident, as evidence from various MG forums and social media platforms clearly demonstrates that these faults are widespread. It is absolutely unacceptable that a vehicle, especially one in this price range, would exhibit such critical flaws, jeopardizing not only my safety but also the safety of other road users.
Equally distressing is the issue I have repeatedly raised regarding the reverse parking on an incline. The fact that the DCT gearbox fails to engage when reversing on even a slight incline is a severe safety concern. I am astounded that my concerns have been outright ignored, especially considering the numerous reports from other MG owners who have experienced the same problem. This fundamental flaw compromises the usability and safety of the vehicle, making it unreliable and unfit for purpose.
The inadequacies of the FM radio capabilities provided by MG are utterly infuriating. The "temporary" DAB option offers abysmal audio quality, limited functionality, and an absolute inability to store "favorites." Furthermore, approximately 50% of the listed stations do not work at all, further highlighting the shoddy attention to detail and lack of quality control. The so-called "permanent" DAB fix provided by MG is nothing short of a joke. Not only does it replace the windscreen antenna with a concealed device, but it also removes the USB socket and fails to address the lack of "favorites" functionality and subpar sound quality. Additionally, the FM radio features are archaic, lacking basic features such as displaying the station name, retuning as signal strength decreases, and providing Traffic Programme or RDS functionality. These deficiencies are simply unacceptable in this day and age, and it reflects poorly on MG's commitment to providing a quality product.
