Hey Guys,
Just a heads up on a couple of issues I have had so far with the F Pace.
First problem was finding one of my alloy wheels was damaged, most likely when putting tyre on, about an inch long section of the rim was rubbed, dark paint had come off, it also looked like it had been "covered up". My dealer agrees with me on this and is waiting on word back to replace the wheel.
From day one I had a loud noise sometimes from the engine bay, at first I thought it was just the way it should be but after 1000 miles I decided it just couldn't be normal as the engine itself is so quiet they wouldn't put something so noisy in there. So I called into the dealer yesterday and the mechanic noticed a breather tube coming from the air box to a valve had rubbed on the belt and broken in two. Temporary patch and new tube on order.
In Control Touch Pro - This is buggy. It freezes in media sometimes and a restart is needed to kick it back to life. So far I have had issues like: - not turning on at all, front sensors not coming on, freezing, not connecting to network, laggy response, ignoring touch input. This I know sounds bad but I work in the tech industry and know that these are just early niggles. I have asked the dealer to keep an eye out for any updates and let me know asap.
My dealer has been amazing about all of this, when I called in yesterday re: the noise, he came running out to the car and asked what was wrong, then he got me sorted in less time than it took for me to drink the free coffee. Its not the problems I judge them on, its how they deal with them and so far, so good.
Apart from the above I love this car. I find myself going out for a drive nearly every day, I haven't done that in years..
