DS automobiles DS3 Crossback

The problem

The software supposed to prevent the engine from stopping suddenly and to transmit data to customer service is not working properly. This can lead the ‘Ready’ mode to be unavailable after the vehicle has been started, to a propulsion's loss and to the engine suddenly cutting out while driving. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries.

The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
