Wish I knew club car as a company sucked this bad.
Wish I had known club car sucked as bad as they do as a company before I ponied up the extra money for a 2015 used precedent.
I thought I was doing good by buying newer and hopefully avoiding repairs so I could just spend money on upgrades. So I spend a chunk to buy Alltrax 500 amp controller, solenoid, cables, and new batteries. The cart has a stutter and while looking at the throttle % on my laptop the thottle signal bounces around even when the pedal is pressed all the way to the floor. So I am guessing mcor replacement which is fine. I know our vendors sell them and it isn’t the end of the world. Reading on the Internet I see the mcor (pedal assembly) has a 4 year warranty. So I call my local dealer and they say if you weren’t the original purchaser you have no warranty. So I called club car to verify that was the case. They came back after getting my serial and said that was correct. I asked why the company would just wipe their hands of the warranty just because ownership changed hands. This is a very expensive product after all. The guy said he wouldn’t argue with me and hung up on me. I like the cart and I bet ezgo and the other companies may be the same way, but I still think it is a crappy policy. If I had known stuff that would normally be under warranty would not because I bought used, (and especially considering it is only 2 years old) I would have either bought new or more likely would have bought older and spent less. |

Re: Wish I knew club car as a company sucked this bad.
Unfortunately I think that "original owner" clause is a common warranty policy in many industries.
The "throttle changing while the pedal is down" may be similar to what I noticed and fixed in my pedal linkage. Take a look at this post and add something to "shim" the pedal assembly so it squeezes the pedal arm track and prevents the pedal axle from moving. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...ml#post1443813Since You have an XCT, you can use the "Throttle Linearization" screen as explained to see the difference. |

Don't buy a bow, or gun, or softball bat or . . . .

Re: Wish I knew club car as a company sucked this bad.
All the farm equipment companies I deal with, the warranty is fully transferable. But then, I don't own any Ingersoll Rand compressors or equipment.

Sergio, are those two angle irons fastened in or are the just setting in the gap?

If it's a club car Precident, it needs an MCOR.
That is how the CC dealers live the high life... |

Once I verified the throttle "Jitter" on my laptop screen, I removed the floor-mat to take a look at what could be done with the linkage. I noticed the issue with the pedal free-play and decided to try something quickly since I had only allowed 30 minutes for the job before I was heading out with the cart. It worked so well that I posted the results after I got back from the ball game. If the throttle acts up again I will probably do something with a single wider shim. |
