1) Gearbox is ridiculously lumpy. It appears to be mainly accelerating in 2nd gear, but reverse is hesitant too. A fellow member kindly let me drive their GTS back-to-back which put some concerns to rest, but I'm still not convinced that mine is normal.
2) No end of "electrical" gremlins:
- Radio doesn't show station logos
- Phone connection unstable and often makes muffled calls where everyone sounds like a Dalek!
- Sat nav map sometimes disappears from dash screen option
- Auto start/stop will sometimes not re-start when brake pedal released. It says "start engine manually" which needs gearbox back into park and key off and on again.
- Parking sensors have a mind of their own. They sometimes come on when driving on motorway with no other car around. It's not just one, it's all front and back sensors showing red and sounding warning tone.
- Rear sensors come on when a car pulls up behind me. Surely this should only be activated if I select reverse gear.
- Oil level is irratic. It jumped from full to empty "do not drive" over 50 miles.
The technicians are giving me a standard speech about diagnostic showing the car to be perfect. I'm tempted to set up a go pro on the driver's window to record some of the quirks as they happen.
Love the car when it's performing well, but these issues are becoming frustrating now.
Any advice or comments appreciated.
