Default Club Cart Motor

HI Villagers,
We have a three year old Club Cart Precedent. The dealer tells us the motor is gone and needs replacement. Of course the Warranty just expired last month!
Has anyone else had a similar problem? The batteries are dead too, supposedly because of the bad motor.

I do not want to take anything away from whoever is looking at the cart, the assessment may be spot on.

But if I was being asked to spend I am guessing $1200 plus (I have no idea how much), I may call the one who cannot be named to see if he would check it out.

I personally know someone who was told they needed a new motor and he resolved for very short money.

The dealer isn't willing to "streach" the warranty? No concessions were offered? I'm sure as heck I wouldn't have the work done there if they weren't willing to work with you. As mentioned above, get another opinion... and if there's a better resolution from that opinion and work, let us know!

You can buy rebuilt motors better than new factory for about $250

I question the fact that the motor made the batteries or the batteries made the motor go bad! the controller sits between them is it also bad ???

He needs an honest 2nd opinion.

How many dealers are in that general area?
