Total ABS Brake failure at 1337 miles on Korando e-Motion ultimate

    Bought Korando E-Motion October 22, moving down from a
    Ssangyong Rexton which had never put a foot wrong in four years.

    Had a few issues with the e-motion not starting and
    ‘’problem in charging foreign matter detected’’, warning light came on was advised
    by dealer it maybe because the main battery was not being charged due to short
    distances being driven and dirt on the sensors in the foreign matter case,
    decided to persevere.

    Had slight, no fault, collision 31-12-23 with front offside
    light cluster being broken rendering the car illegal to drive, waited 8 months
    … yes 8 months for spare part to arrive in fairness may still be waiting
    longer if Ssangyong customer services had not got involved after me complaining
    to them direct, they removed light cluster from another car or I may still be
    waiting, at this point car had less than 1000 miles on the clock, got car back
    end of October,

    On 1st December at 1337 miles, yes 1337 miles ABS brakes
    failed along with Electronic Stability control, Electronic Brake Force
    distribution, Anti-Lock brake system, Autonomous Emergency Braking and Auto
    Hold leaving the car unstoppable and undrivable.

    Needless to say, the one-year breakdown recovery had expired
    early in November, I am now expected to pay for the recovery and transport to
    the local garage to have it repaired under warranty?

    Ssangyong have washed their hands of the problem, very
    disappointed.

    Only my opinion but who in their right mind would buy a car
    where the ABS brakes and associated stopping modes fail rendering the car
    virtually unstoppable.

    Has anyone else encountered this issue ?

    I haven’t encountered this and didn’t think it was possible, but your story will be very helpful to me, thanks for sharing.
