BYD Seal AWD Power Reduced After Service – No Fix, No Support from BYD

On December 27, 2024, I purchased a brand-new 2024 BYD Seal AWD from Ankara Efe BYD dealership. However, after reaching 130 km/h, the ESP system kept activating, preventing the car from driving properly. I took it to the service center, where they claimed to have updated the software and returned the car to me.

When I tested it, I noticed that the power output was reduced to 260 kW, even though the car’s original specification is 390 kW. They limited the power without informing me! I took the car back to the service center, and after two days in service, they admitted they couldn’t fix it. They also refused to restore the car to its original state, saying that a team from the Netherlands would need to inspect it—but they gave me no timeline for when this would happen.

I contacted BYD Turkey twice, but nobody responded to my complaints. Meanwhile, I am paying ₺53,000 in taxes for a 390 kW car, yet I only have 260 kW of usable power. I demand an immediate resolution, whether through a replacement vehicle or a full refund with interest. If this issue is not resolved, I will take legal action against BYD Turkey for selling a defective product. Fix this now!

After my car stayed at the Efe service for 15 days, they called me. They said, 'We couldn't fix your car, come and pick it up.' When I went to pick up the car, they said there was nothing they could do and they couldn't fix it. They handed over the car saying that my contact was BYD Istanbul. If there are people considering buying a BYD, they should know that issues cannot be resolved in case of a malfunction.

When I tested the vehicle today, I saw that there was a power loss of 100kw. Currently, it can produce a maximum of around 160kw. If I take it a few more times, it will turn into an electric motorcycle :)

Hello, we have exactly the same issues, and they have also reduced my car's power. Despite this, the vehicle still shows an ESP warning, and the AWD system is not working properly. If you share your email address, we can take action together.

What do you think?
