Sound similar symptoms to what @Jean Mercier had pre delivery?
That would be a deal breaker here in Oz summer. I have kids to move around as well... like I said elsewhere IA has a big catch-up game to prove they can deliver, but more so attend the teething issues of a new Gen vehicle which so far, they seem to be doing a piss poor job of.Better response than my a/c issue. 2 months on and still no working a/c. Parts were supposed to be ordered 9 days ago when it was realised a re-gas would not solve the issue. I don't use the Grenadier in hot weather as it is unbearable for the dogs.
Considering many of us on this forum have had very similar issues which 99% of the time have not involved limp mode or recovery, I don’t find myself being too concerned. No amount of testing during development will iron out all the issues discovered on mass production. I still feel very confident that I have chosen the vehicle which will provide me with the maximum satisfaction and reliability.That would be a deal breaker here in Oz summer.

I agree - this vehicle on spec is just ahead of anything in the price range. So, a few gremlins can be dealt with.Considering many of us on this forum have had very similar issues which 99% of the time have not involved limp mode or recovery, I don’t find myself being too concerned.

I think that statement is most important. The vehicle hasn't left anyone stranded (or if they have I am not aware) irrespective of the issues. I can't say that for other vehicles bought, the last one was a VW Golf R, breaking down with less than 1000 miles.Considering many of us on this forum have had very similar issues which 99% of the time have not involved limp mode or recovery, I don’t find myself being too concerned.

@Beormund has dogs ~ so I would be concerned with him.Considering many of us on this forum have had very similar issues which 99% of the time have not involved limp mode or recovery, I don’t find myself being too concerned.
Absolutely, but where are the aftersales guys stepping up and engaging with us early adoptors when the "parts in 24/48 hours" is off, not by a day or three but weeks?No amount of testing during development will iron out all the issues discovered on mass production.
It was sea sickSo boarded an overnight ferry in Dublin yesterday afternoon with battery charge at 71%. Locked with key to avoid alarm going off with vibrations (if it would even do that) and when we docked in France this morning the car made loud intermittent bongs, multiple tell tales illuminated and main screen was blank. Starter motor wouldn’t turn over, so thought battery was flat. Crew brought out portable battery and after 5 minutes and multiple switching ignition on/off, car started.
Tell tales showed front and rear diffs activated (roof switches flashing), off road mode active, power steering error in red, engine warning light amber. Car was in high range and once above around 15mph, diff lights and off road mode tel tales cleared. Battery showed 100%.
Drove for 3 hours before stopping to ensure battery was actually charged. Tell tales all cleared on starting and battery showed 99% and quickly rose to 100%. Car has started and stopped fine several times since.
Diesel Trialmaater, 1,000 miles
Which suggests the tilt detection system was still activated. Is there any option in the informant system that disarms it? From what I recall from my car ferry travel days the car decks are closed/ locked once the ferry departs, worst case scenario just don't lock the doors.Sounds like you had a flat battery. Modern cars no likey that.
Perhaps I overlooked that the evening time was mentioned.But in the evening everything is shut
How did it get that low? Where you sat in a loading queue for a long time with power on?So boarded an overnight ferry in Dublin yesterday afternoon with battery charge at 71%.
Are you thinking there was another underlying overnight power drain?How did it get that low? Where you sat in a loading queue for a long time with power on?
Also, to be clear you don't have the auxiliary battery fitted?
I just thought 71% was a low figure to be boarding with, especially if you just driven a decent distance to get to the port.Are you thinking there was another underlying overnight power drain?
But if the issue is the tilt alarm sounding continuously discharging the battery then there must be a method of disarming it.
I tried jacking up my Grenadier with the vehicle locked and alarmed and sure enough the tilt alarm goes off.I had to google what a tilt alarm was.
Must be lots of grand thefft auto where I don't live.
Just walked to Hyde Park in London from Kensington , my god so many high end euro cars sitting in the street.
LOL at all the pimped G wagens.
No wonder children steal them.
Might have to pull that fuse out!I tried jacking up my Grenadier with the vehicle locked and alarmed and sure enough the tilt alarm goes off.
