Skoda Kamiq Automatic Gearbox Issues

Has anyone experienced issues with the automatic gearbox on a 2021 Skoda Kamiq with a Gasoline engine? Recently, it's started acting weird. The paddle shifters don't work at all, the gearbox slips sometimes, and I'm getting grinding noises. The paddle shifters are also super slow to respond. It's gone into emergency mode a few times. I suspect the control module might be faulty, but I'm not 100% sure.

Sounds similar to an issue I had with my Kamiq. The automatic gearbox was acting up. Could be the control module. Have you checked the error memory?

Yeah, there's an error stored. Something about the transmission control unit defective. Did you experience similar symptoms like the gears slipping or the paddle shifters not working?

Yep, same symptoms. Gears slipping, unclean shifts, emergency mode... Seems like electronic issues with the automotive ECU. If the error memory points to the control module, it's probably that. I'd suggest getting a proper transmission diagnosis at a workshop.

Thanks for the help! I took it to a workshop, and after a transmission diagnosis they confirmed it was the control module. They replaced it, recoded everything, and it seems to be running smoothly now. Cost me around 1000€, but at least it's fixed.
