Many Skoda Kushaq owners are beginning to wonder if the Czech carmaker has given them a half baked product. The woes for Skoda continue as more and more people struggle with the Creta-rivalling SUV. There seems to be no end to the worries of the Kushaq owners. The EPC issue has not yet been resolved. The fuel pump replacement is not the permanent solution as tons of people continue to encounter the EPC issue despite replacing the fuel pump with a more “robust” unit. There are other issues with the SUV too. Here are the details of the problems faced by the owners.

Skoda Kushaq Owners Get Half Baked Product
This information is shared by a Kushaq owner on the Facebook page of the owners. He regrets the decision of buying an SUV costing Rs 19 lakh. Skoda calls itself a premium carmaker which is reflected in the prices of the Kushaq as well. When compared to the competition, Kushaq is more expensive and has fewer features. However, people overlook that because it offers great driveability and quality. However, this time around, the quality also seems below average according to the Skoda standards. This owner faces problems with the door closing in his vehicle after having replaced the fuel pump issue already. He still continues to get the engine error symbol. In this mere 2-month ownership experience he has already faced multiple issues with his Kushaq. This is not something expected of Skoda. But the bigger issue is that it still remains clueless about the EPC issue in the SUV.
He has also called out the people who have trolled him for providing a ‘fake review’ or being a ‘Korean manufacturer supporter.’ He goes on to say that it is super funny that any owner who is suffering from issues is badged as a supporter of Korean cars by supporters of Kushaq. He adds,”Why do I buy a car for 19 lakhs and curse it later? To support Korean cars you think?”
