Ok I bought this buggy almost 3 weeks ago, I was hoping to have somewhat of a review after the first weekend, we bought it on a monday and was delivered tuesday so it would have been almost a week. We drove it tuesday a lil and wednesday alot. Had 90 miles by the end of wendesday and it came with 5 miles on it. Went outside to pull it out a check the oil and bolts like suggested (always have to check the bolts on these every time i stop even out on a ride, they vibrate loose very easily, and I have lost 4 already 2 the first day) ride a lil bit before my wife came out and took it away lol. So anyway on the way out to the garage I hear a chiping noise like a bird, so I thought I closed a bird insde. I open the garage door and all the elctronics and turning on and the dash is lighting up and then shutting off suddently and then it would chirp, all without a key. I called the dealer and he said the speakers run off an amp the constantly draws power even with the buggy off and the key out. So some friends came over and my wife wanted to show off the new buggy, so my wife game her friend a ride and came back and I did the same with another friend. We came back parked it and about a half hour later my wife wanted to take my beagles for a ride, they love it. She put the key in turned it and nothing happened no lights nothing. Sat waied a couple minutes and tried a couple more times and finally it started, vbut the starter was stuck trying to start when the engine is already running. took the key out the engine turned off but the starter kept going even with the ignition of and the key out. This kept on going till the battery died, well I thought. So we took it to the dealer first thing friday morning (Had to rent a truck $135 with gas rental and milage and borrow a trailor which was free) and they said they would have it back to us the same day since we ony had it 2 days. They never called and so my wife called and they said they replaced the cylinder and the starter But they told me the starter cluth was worn out and they had to order that. So okay no a good start but I'm not mad. A week goes by and we finnally get the buggy back memorial weekend on saturday we picked it up (had to rent a truck again another $135 angain trailor was free). Rode it some over the weekend and a little during the next week. By the next weekend on saturday we have about 235 miles on this now. Saturday around ^ in the evening we decied to go back out and we are just crusing about 25 - 30 (35 mh seems to be the top speed with 2 passangers and a cooler on the back) on smooth hard packed dirt and the front drivers side weld that the rool cage bolts into snaps comletly off. So we turn around and head back and the same weld on the oposite frond side breaks. In between riding I find I also have a loose wire so that the engine won't start or any of the electronics won't turn on unless u jiggle the wire harness off the battery. So no here I am not sure how to rate this buggy I have barely owned 3 weeks and which was supposed to be safer that an atv with the roll cage and it just snaps at the welds just from vibrations. I wonder what would have happened if we had flipped or rolled over. (kinda scary, I know I've been ridin dirt bikes and atvs for years and have the scars to prove it, but I'm getting older and don't want to add to the decorations on my body. I can post some video of the weld where they broke. Just wondering, has anyone else had any problems like this with their HH.
