Help with octavia vrs

Octavia sending me mad. Not impressed. One month into ownership.

First thing i noticed the front near side window would open when i turned the car off. Got around that by opening the door, closing window, killing ignition, shutting door. Now when i left the car, locked it as normal and returned... ALL the windows were fully open. You can imagine how impressed i was today (totally pi55ing down) All the buttons seem fubarred, the front electric button operates the back offside window, one window operates with the use of the heated mirror function! and my rear offside wont close at all! (now covered in bin bag). Anyway you get the idea.

The car is an 05 plate (under warranty) but didnt expect this from a usually reliable motor. My saxo gave me no problems in four years!

Just posting this as its obviously an electrical fault but has anyone else had anything similar? Will i be covered by SKODA assist? unsure as its a used car? Will the AA be able to fix it or is it a dealer job?

Regards Neilg.

Yes, I concur. As the car is under warranty, get it changed and all will be good again.
