Have a 74 plate Emira i4. 5000 miles on the clock. A couple of months ago I had a reduced acceleration issue and the car went into limp mode, managed to get the car into a lay-by and shut it off. After a restart it was ok until about 2 weeks later when it happened again and this time the engine management light came on and a message stating recovery was needed. The car was revving up and down whilst idling. Again, a restart made it driveable but the CEL stayed on. I got the car home and it was recovered and taken to Lotus. Got the car back last week, supposedly was a battery issue and the car is now fine. Except after a few days of use it happened again but in the outside lane of the motor in rush hour. Scary isn’t the word. Trying to cross 3 lanes of busy traffic when the car won’t accelerate or do anything at all aside for steer is not a nice feeling. Car recovered again. Lotus saying they can’t see an issue and no fault code has been stored. I’m at the point where I don’t want the car anymore. 10 months in a critical issues like this along with other niggles. It’s been to lotus 4 times since I got it. I simply don’t trust the car anymore because even if they claim they’ve fixed it how can I know?
Has anybody experienced the same issue?
Is it possible to hand the car back to lotus at this point?
TIA
