I bought a Vauxhall Corsa electric – I’m terrified behind the wheel thanks to annoying feature which you can’t turn off
A DRIVER has hit out at his new electric vehicle due to an annoying feature which he could not turn off.
The man claimed that his new Vauxhall Corsa electric vehicle because of on-board speed camera alert device.
He did not like the sound it made and claimed he could not turn it off.
In a TikTok video he said: “The speed camera alerts make you jump. You can’t turn them off.”
But some users suggested the alerts could be turned off by the driver. One said: “I have a Citroen C5 Aircross same software for the alerts , you can turn it down with the voice settings on the audio panel.”
But other drivers agreed with him. One said:”Omg I HATE this about my corsa is blows your ear drums.”
Another EV owner has revealed that they hate driving it, claiming it is too noisy.
The driver, named only as KR, switched out one electric Kia for another but alleged that this came with a raft of irritating issues.
In a letter to the Telegraph’s motoring expert Alex Robbins, KR said: “About a year ago we bought our first electric car, a nearly new Kia e-Niro.
“We were very satisfied with it, so in August we decided to change it for the later Kia Niro EV.
“But this car has been a disappointment due to road and wind noise.”
They added that this was particularly difficult for them to deal with as they suffer from tinnitus.
