    Another Bad Motor-Class Action

    Here we go again. I have two 2014 BEDs. In 2017 both of them had the drive motors replaced under warranty due to the whining problem, at around 18K miles. Now one of those is getting a "Without starting return to workshop" error, and is a bit jerky when driving. Dealership says it is the...

    Dangerous Brake Failure

    Hi all, I wanted to check to see if anyone has experienced a brake issue I occasionally have in my 2014 BED. A couple of years ago, I was exiting the highway, foot lightly on brake, car in regen braking mode. All of a sudden, the car went into the thrust mode (arrow indicating charge direction...

    Brake Issue

    Last week, when coming off the highway, the regen indicator suddenly went from recharging to zero, and the regen braking stopped. I quickly hit the brake, and it was rock hard, and had almost no braking action. Two or three seconds later, regen and braking starting working normally. Thought...

    Oil leak?

    Yep, one thing I never thought I would see with an electric car. My BED with only 6,000 miles was in for its annual battery certification. The technician noted oil leaking from around the axle shaft seals. I do not have the car back yet, so not sure exactly what is being replaced, but...

    Unlocking In-motion functions

    I installed the DVDinMotion unlock over the weekend. It worked beautifully. It's pricey at $200, but it unlocks all in-motion functions that are normally blocked when the car is in motion (DVD playback, map editing, reading texts, etc). Mine is a 2014, with the multi-media package. It is...

    Brake Groan

    Has anyone had what you would characterize as excessive brake groan when creeping or stopping? I have 2 BEDs and they both groan more than any car I've ever driven. They have both done it since new. Thanks for any commiseration.

    Braking Lurch when almost stopping

    I see that a couple others have experienced a lurch when the car is very close to stopping. Mine seems to happen when I'm really slow, and let go of the brake, then apply it again, though it has been very difficult to reliably duplicate. Has anyone who has this issue figured out how to...

    In-Mirror Compass

    The MBUSA build website shows the P1 Premium Package includes an in-mirror compass, and the manual shows how to turn it on (by pressing a recessed button on the bottom of the rear-view mirror). On the bottom of my rear-view are the three garage buttons, and a downward-facing light, but no...

    Temp Hold blowing Cold in 38 degrees F

    Has anyone experienced this: It's cold outside, in the mid 30's F (no comments from you Bostonians suffering another definition of cold). I shut off the car, press the temperature hold button, and the red light illuminates as the heater turns on. I get out of the car, get back in a bit later...
