There was a horrible rattle when I first got the brand new 2015 cart... that's when CartWorld took the cart, turned the RPM's down to 19.2 which still has not fixed the rattle. The 2nd time I used the cart at night, I kept smelling an electrical burning smell and sure enough the headlight burned out leaving a huge hole (about 3-4" in the headlight 'casing')... They replaced it, fixed the mirror that they mounted incorrectly (we fixed the side mirrors that were not mounted properly) and then Friday night all the lights went out & no turn signals, no headlights, no horn, no emergency flashers...NOTHING! I bought the cart in September 2015 and received it on Sep 30th! I don't use it every day and it was in the shop for about a week....hmmmm ~ I think I've actually been able to use it 4 weeks and 3 days! Since we feel something should be done (it's obviously a LEMON), service department told us to talk to sales! REALLY??? The service department didn't FIX the problem the first time causing more problems.... Not happy with CartWorld at all!!
Consider calling the manufacturer directly and voicing your complaints with the product and the dealer. Golf carts are a major purchase and a consumer should expect them to be in good and working order without all the issues you are experiencing.
