Random changing of screen language
Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2022 12:01 pm
I have a Corsa F SRi which every 200 miles or so changes the operating language on the infotainment display from English to Spanish and the speedometer reads in KM/Hr instead of MPH. I have taken it to a Vauxhall franchised dealer several times and they say it is a software error. They have checked that it has the latest version installed but it continues to display this problem. It is possible to go into settings and re set it back to English and it will run for a couple of weeks then change the settings back to Kilometres/ hr again all by itself.
Has any body else had this problem?
The dealer say they have come across it before and some customers have reported the display language reverting to French. I was informed that the next time it displays this error to arrange to have the vehicle looked at and not to change the language back to English myself via settings and data would then be sent to Vauxhall. This is entirely unsatisfactory. When the vehicle displays this fault miles from home you have no idea what speed you are going at and are in fact driving a vehicle with a defective speedometer which is an offence under the Road Traffic Act.
Vauxhall need to get a grip.
