I have discussed on other forums the significant problems I had maintaining a fleet of early 2008 RXV's.

Batteries was one of the problems, with the autofill system failing to work properly. When I took over the fleet duties, and was suspicious, I found several dry cells, plates exposed. After much feet-dragging, E Z Go diagnosed it as float valves stems being too long, so they replaced them all with shorter stems. Then some did not shut off and some sells overfilled.

I'd have to check records, but E Z Go stonewalled the problem to the point where most of our fleet would not do 2 round a day and some would not do one round. At one point toward the end of the season in 2011, I had sorted the good from the bad, and half the cart barn was designated to be used only if absolutely necessary. We rented gas carts from another dealer for events.

E Z Go eventually replaced 117 batteries, but only after we had the problem for more than 2 years, and some batteries had too much use (the 21,400 hours mentioned) to be on warrantee.

At that point a new international management company took over our course and was able to negotiate getting the fleet replaced with 2012s.

I know linking to other forums is not appreciated here, so you can just google RXV Uato-Brake Problem III.

Talk to me there if you want to.
