Yet another instance comes to light where the quality of the Skoda Kushaq comes to the forefront along with the EPC issue. The Kushaq customers have been complaining about the EPC issue in their brand new cars for quite some time now. This comes as a surprise to a lot of people who never expected quality issues from Skoda, which prides itself on being a premium brand with high-quality materials. What’s more concerning for the Czech carmaker is the fact that the Kushaq was supposed to be the front runner in this next step of its journey in the Indian market. But such reviews are not helping the case of the mid-size SUV because of multiple problems reported by various Kushaq owners recently. Here are the details of a Kushaq owner who was a fan of Skoda’s build quality complaining about the EPC issue he faces in his brand new SUV.

Skoda Kushaq Quality EPC Issue
As is clear from the image above, the Kushaq owner had taken the delivery just a couple of weeks ago. According to him, he took out the car for a drive and encountered this issue as soon as was about the switch off the car after coming back. He restarted the car and drove a bit to be sure if it was working. It was still driving but the EPC issue warning light started appearing on the instrument cluster. This is the exact problem that a lot of Kushaq customers have reported in the last month ever since the deliveries of the SUV commenced. Another guy posted on the Skoda Kushaq Club India page on Facebook. He encountered the EPC issue just after 450 km which is quite ridiculous. Skoda has not been able to diagnose the issue yet but it will cost the carmaker a lot. People have options in this segment and the image of the Kushaq is not ideal at the moment. Let us see if Skoda could act timely to prevent an adverse impact on the sales of the mid-size SUV.
