Called the dealership(which i won't name at this time) to have it checked. The repairman that came to the house to check it said that this was normal for Yamaha electric carts. Do any of you own a Yamaha electric and if so are you experiencing this with your cart? I don't want to wait around until the warranty expires and have a major repair on my hands.
My 2005 Yamaha did the same thing and I was told it is the regenerative braking feature. I disabled it by disconnecting a wire harness plug eight inches from the motor.
