Hi Everyone
Just got a MK3 Duster Journey 4x4 1.2 mild hybrid

This is my first entry. We have had the car for a couple of weeks and on a number of occasions it has gone into limp mode and won't rev. Last happened to my wife during rush hour when she moved onto a roundabout and the car effectively stopped. She had to restart it and then move on. Dealer is saying that we have accidentally switched on the speed limiter accidentally. Has this happened to anyone else?

What is being described is the exact same thing that happened to us when we took the test drive car out. I didn’t realise, but I had accidentally somehow managed to activate the speed limiter. It was my fault. I thought there was something wrong with the car.

Anyway, we’ve had our 2025 mild hybrid since April and neither I nor my Wife have had any issues with accidental activation of the speed limiter. Indeed, our car has so far, been nothing less than exceptional.

I genuinely can’t remember hiw i activated it at the time. We got in the car without a salesman present, I started it up, mucked about with the controls a bit, set off and then wondered why I couldn’t get past 20mph. I had to pull over and work out how to disable it. After I’d done so, it’s never been a problem since in our own car.

Thanks for everyone's reply. Yes I took it back to the dealership. They checked things out and no errors or fault. They showed me the accidental triggering of the speed limiter but it shows the speed limiter mph figure which didn't happen either to me or my wife.
DrAlexandertom makes a good point. Engine wouldn't rev when stationary.
I'm going to speak with Dacia again next week so will let you know how I get on.

Thanks All
