Absolutely.
In our case, false readings eventually cost E Z Go 117 batteries, before they gave up and took 60 carts back, rewriting a new lease with new carts. That all started in 2009, on first-run 2008 RXVs, and they redid the lease in 2012.
It got to the point where half of our 30 carts were marked "do not use" because they would not do 18 holes. Of course, we had to send them out any way, knowing we'd be taking another out to them before too long. Most of them died on the furthest holes away.
Then, when some of the new carts had faulty autofills, they didn't try stonewalling it. They just replaced the bad autofills.
But, to those who have not had a problem, it's not a problem. If I was a single cart owner, I'd do it the old-fashioned way.

I just had a similar problem with a fleet of Club Cars at my Florida course. It took four months of emailing and calling the dealer before he'd even look at what I was talking about. The one he looked at was just a minor problem, a leaking line. But, after that he said he'd look at all of them.
