i7: Drivetrain Malfunction

ppagiga · 09-23-2023, 08:45 PM

Have gotten this message twice in 2 wks of ownership. First time, disappeared after turning vehicle off then on. Second time, went away before I could acknowledge the message.

Anyone else get this?

Coming out a lemon ix M60 I'm pretty fired up to get this message lol

Otherwise ride is amazing

Yes. Have gotten same message ~3x in ~3 months.

Each time the message clears and the car “starts” on the 2nd attempt.

Hoping it’s just a software glitch…

Yeah, that would be freaky. Thankfully, hasn’t happened here. (Your car looks great in white, BTW!)

Thanks guys. I think i'll bring it in for service so the error message is documented, even if a non issue. Something I learned from lemon laws by where I live is that the settlement is determined by when the vehicle was first brought in for service for the issue that couldn't be resolved.

I know that the likelihood of me getting back to back lemons is maybe lower than getting struck by lightning while getting eaten by a shark but better safe than sorry I'm thinking

To be sure. And, anyhow even if it is a nonissue, you want the error cleared. Plus let them update you to ID 8.5 too.

Sorry to hear this is happening. I haven't had this occur on mine in ~3 months of ownership. Hopefully it's nothing but a software glitch resolved by an ISTEP update.
