Sounds very similar and glad you're hopefully getting it sorted. My local
dealer couldn't get me in till November. The lease company told me i could get in on the 15th at another
dealer 30 mins away. Call them up first thing in the morning and they couldn't do it till the 22nd October. So i'm booked in for then.
Seat support just kept telling me that the
dealer hadn't put it in the system, which they were saying they have. I really think it's a comms issue where the car isn't communicating to their servers hence the SOS issue. A couple of times today, the car somehow got into an icognito mode and i got a few error warnings up on the dashboard. It clears when logging in as a local user.
We'll see what happens eh! What's frustrating is it took them weeks to admit there is an issue and find out myself from here and elsewhere what the issue seems to be. The
garage i'm booked into kind of knew straight away, they need the day and might be overnight if they need parts. How have they allowed it to get past quality control i don't know.
