Default Took my car to the dealer to repair rim scrape, came back with the car in limp mode

My car drives very unresponsive and weird after they did some software updates and recalls.

It now burns 22l/100km (11mpg) and feels very slow, anyone else have had an issue like that? the dealer is closed cuz it's long weekend here in Canada...

Should i be worried?

Park it. Don't drive it. Take photos of the message and have it towed to the dealer. Document everything. You don't want the dealer blaming you for it.

no, it's weird. I'll take it out one more time and see if i'm maybe being paranoid. is there maybe an update on the the way the car reads the fuel economy? maybe it's displaying the units in a different manor. I'll update keep this thread updated tomorrow.

best advice yet!! they will try to remove as much blame away from them as possible.

park the car, get it towed
