MG ZS clutch
Variant: 1.5 VTi-Tech-Excite
Model Year: 2021
Today I experienced the same issue like you guys: the car an MG ZS 1.5 vti-tech Excite, which I purchased it in September 2021, failed to engage any gear after 15000 miles. After an hour I started the car and went to the dealership to report the issue. Of course they booked me for next week. On my way home the car stopped while driving uphill, with the same problem failing to engage in any gear. 15 to 20 minutes drive to work will transform to more than an hour travelling by bus, for me and my wife, while paying monthly for the car and for comprehensive Insurance. I just just wait to get rid of it!

Having this exact issue right now. Gear stick goes in gear but doesn't engage at all. Turned car off and after an hour worked again and then stopped mid driving waited another hour and worked again. MG's wait list is 3 weeks with no courtesy car options. Although under warranty I feel I'm going to have a fight as others to get this fixed. It's a lease car and at this point I'm so tempted to just give the car back to avoid the fight with MG. I'm so torn. Did yours get fixed under the warranty?

Yes. It was fixed under warranty. However I had to wait 3 weeks to have the car repaired with no courtesy car.
