Who is experiencing software or electrical gremlins?

[Eric]

Mine failed to start this morning, starter engaged but it didn’t fire, Left it sit for half an hour and then it started normally?

Gremlin in the immobiliser??

 

[emax]

Not a gremlin. It apparently works.

Albeit not as designed.

And is your late for a doctors appointment here you have to wait 3 weeks to get back in to see one!!

you have to wait 3 weeks to get back

In Germany, I'd call you an optimist.

In the UK you won't get passed the triage of the receptionist

Haha that is the standard saying in Holland at the doctors visit just come back in 2 weeks and if you die in between well call 112

In Ireland they got the system if you go to the ER with out a referral from the GP it cost you 100 euro but if you get a referral from the GP then it is free (off course you have to pay you GP )

If it does it again or just as a bit of pre-emptive work.

Have a look under your back seat and make sure all the relays are pushed in tightly.

I bumped into a guy just having a IG taken off the back of an AA lorry in the UK (great advert ) and he told me his refused to start so he called the AA, the guy pushed all the relays in under the back seat and said one was loose and it started.

The owner insisted it was taken to the agents, they sent it back a few days later and said they couldn’t find anything and sent it back.

I know these things are being built in the most complex car factory in Europe, however I think their staff used to assemble vacuum cleaners if I am honest.

I wonder if there has been more step towards having the possibility of having diagnostics computer connect to the OBD port to get a bit more clarity what is going on.
Would be a lot better if IA could make that diagnostics just part of the standard infotainment to really help us wit the build for purpose team.

El mío no arrancó esta mañana, el motor de arranque se activó pero no se disparó. ¿Lo dejó reposar durante media hora y luego arrancó normalmente?

¿Obtuviste la luz amarilla de fallo de encendido del motor? Lo hice y finalmente comenzó y eliminó el error.

I don't think they ever got this right.

Update on my last post, we are now in Barcelona. No further problems starting, )didn’t check any relays or fuses but thanks for the tip)
Odometer reset about 3 hours into the drive to read 0-0-0-0
TPMS rear right wheel high pressure alarm at 3.1bar all the other wheels reading about the same but only rear right alarming??
Petrol engine pulls well, average fuel economy 14K/100km at about 130kph on the motorway.
This is a 4000km round trip to Farò and back, will post any further gremlins!

Hopefully they don't just 'Shakey' loose!

I’m slightly confident in that while there are these software codes/bings there haven’t been any reports of cars going into limp mode/shutting off.

Is this perhaps the first?

Yes a bit of a worry that one, although haven’t heard anything else like this one

 

[Blackbox88]

Hopefully they can find the problem soon and understand if it will effect more Grenadiers.

OK, I just had an epiphany. We all need to buy a second Grenadier and a trailer to haul our other Grenadier to the dealer for repair. Please don't order your second Grenadier until I get my production build date on my first Grenadier. DaBull

Maybe one for the flying spanners...is there a contingent based in Oz?

Hoping Matt gets a speedy resolution for his Grenadier. It's got to be tough to be without it for any length of time and a big time drain too. DaBull

 

[RYAustralia]

I am curious, those that have collected the Grenadier - how many are experiencing SOFTWARE / ELECTRICAL GREMLINS?

Yep. 80% of my drives start with either airbag sensor failure, PDC failure, transmission failure or rear seatbelt failure warnings. Have had it 5 days now. Back to dealer today for a brake issue and hoping to get any software issues looked at the same time.
