So after reading all the speculation as to the cause of this, and having just returned from my first week in the Villages, with my brand new Drive 2 Quiet Tech, I am speculating a bit. We noticed a ton of heat coming up from under our seats. We have the bucket seats. We found out that part of the "quiet tech" technology is a plastic shield on the bottom of the cart, enclosing the engine to keep noise in. Well that results in a lot of heat buildup. I wonder if this could be a fire hazard.
