XUV700 Problems With First Service
The list is rather long and a bit surprising for a whole lot of people. No one expects a brand new car at this price point to have so many issues within the first 1000 km. These images mention issues like Engine Check Light, Alexa Malfunctioning, Vibration on the wheel during braking, metallic sound while braking, Engine Oil burning smell after long drives, the sound of the music system cracking at high volume, infotainment system touch malfunctioning, ECU flashing, ADAS not working properly, Adrenox not following commands timely and very low mileage among other things. This is a bit strange that a brand new car would have som many different issues ranging from all components of a vehicle. While we understand that not all XUV700 SUVs will have such problems, but a brand new car should have so many issues at all.
