Need you help, please!Just picked up our new 1.6 Tekna 4x4. One the drive home, the car feels like it is trying to "brake" slightly when you lift your foot off the accelerator. Slow to respond, a bit juddery. Have turned off traffic sign recognition but no change.Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestions for fixes, please.Many thanks.

Traffic sign rec won't have anything to do with this.Is this manual or cvt? can't remember if 4 x4 came in both options.

Not put petrol in?

Don't think this would do this but just check you don't have the speed limiter set by mistake? That would give the slow to respond if close to limiter speed etc?

Such a shame but at least now when you take it back to dealers it maybe easier to diagnose and fix.

Chrome strip will just need re-sticking down, again shame this wasn't done properly

Just back from dealers with a spare car, they cannot find the problem on diagnostics they think it could be the wiring loom so will let me know when its done . Only done 20 miles so far not a good start, as they say "things can only get better" fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed they'll find the issue and have you back on the road in your own car in no time

Thanks Korky, apparentley the car went into limp home mode hence now power etc. Wonder if they did a proper PDI on it.
