CX21ZPM SKODA OCTAVIA HYBRID ESTATE Gear selector fault Rear right brake grinding and scored 1 key not working Container of fuel added yet zero miles I took delivery of the car on the Friday 15th December I did swerve the extra 3 year warranty at £1900 and I'm so glad I did because these jokers are absolutely the worst ! I was told both keys worked and a canister of fuel had been put in the car. On leaving the showroom the car read zero miles of petrol and zero miles of electric, but I did get to the fuel station. The brakes did sound very bad but I didn't know if this was what a hybrid was supposed to sound like. I woke next morning and had a look at the brake discs,looking through the wheel spokes , 3 were OK, one was badly scored and it was clear that the noise I could hear was a worn out brake pad grinding on the disk. It was at that point I found that only one key worked and a fault warning was on the dashboard of an overheating gearbox (upon startup) I tool the car back to the showroom on the saturday 16th December to be told no-one there could help me , i asked to see a manager and she changed the battery on the key and told me she would book the car in on monday and provide me with a courtesy car, and she would ring to confirm on Monday 18th December She never called. I did manage to get through to aftersales on the 12th attempt , the previous 11 attempts resulted in the phone line disconnecting before being answered, and a call to the only line in service, sales, Georgie, who was worse than useless refusing to help or connect me with anyone of any help , however on the 12th attempt to get in touch with after sales the phone did connect, and the person I spoke with was quite frankly rude and unhelpful. She told me to drive the car to kwik fit for a free brake check, but would not autorise any repairs if they were needed. So I travelled to the Leeds showroom after work and there I encountered no help either. I couldn't leave my car with them I couldn't leave my keys with them They wouldn't inspect the car And if I left the car on site , they couldn't be liable for its safe keeping , and no , they had no idea which manager I had spoken to on Saturday that had promised to get this mess sorted out. As the car not only has a metal to metal brake issue and also a gearbox issue , I consider the car undriveable, and had the vehicle recovered under the warranty in the interests of safety to my home address as the site could not guarantee the safety of my car to be roadworthy ,and not guarantee the safety of the car if left on site. I phoned after sales again today and asked them to book the car on under warranty for the repairs, yes of course, we could get you in on the 2nd January.(14 days away) WHAT ? what am I supposed to do over Christmas with no car , I'm terribly sorry sir there's nothing we can do. We are now in a position that I have no choice but to consider this car to be unfit for purpose and reject it on the grounds of safety. I have given big motoring world every opportunity to rectify these issues and now consider our transaction to be unrecoverable Now I wait for the next stage with an undriveable car and they have my money.lets see how long it takes to unwind this transaction , they say 2 weeks but ......
