ล koda Kodiaq, Superb, and Octaviaโ Models Affected by Adaptive Cruise Control Bug
Prague, โCzech Republic – Drivers of ล koda โKodiaq, Superb,โ and Octavia vehicles areโข reporting issues with their adaptive cruise control systems incorrectly evaluating permittedโข speeds. One driver reported being advised by authorized service centers not to useโค cruise control in their vehicle, which costโ over one million crowns, and toโ ideally avoid drivingโ it altogether, pending a majorโ software upgrade from ล koda. โ
The driver, who contacted multiple service centers, was told a fix is planned but no timeline is available. The operational leasing provider eventually offered aโข control unit replacement after several weeks.
According to Jiลรญ Linhart,โ ล koda service manager at Barth auto center, the issue is occurring in a “very small amount” ofโ vehicles. “Yes, we record incorrectโ evaluation of the permitted speed when using the adaptive cruise control onโค the Kodiaq, Superb, Octavia models. Though, this is only a very small amount in the order of vehicle units,” Linhart stated.
Thisโฃ is not the โfirst instance of software problems with ล kodaโ vehicles. Previous issues included malfunctioning voice โคassistant “Laura” in the Octavia,which required multiple updates and,in some cases,led to airbag โcontrol unit damage. โขProblems with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality have also been reported across several โล koda models. โค
Similar infotainment issues have also been experienced by other brands within the Volkswagenโ Group. Last year, Volvo drivers reported software glitches with the EX30 model, causing the central control screen to become unresponsive, affecting approximately 72,000 vehicles.
