Default Should I move this to the “having issues thread”?

We had some early Pivi Pro moments that were resolved with a simply reset and have gone away with OTA updates. My only complaint is the windshield has 3 rock chips (one about the size of a quarter). This might just be the upright angle and highway driving. The one thing missing is wireless CarPlay. Other than that and truth be told, I wouldn't notice if some of the electronic features we have are working or not. I'm not really a technophile. The Meridian Surround and cooling seats are great though.

Now, I would expect a car with 7,500 miles to be 100% working and reliable. We'll see what the future holds but I remain cautiously optimistic. And sorry to those who've had some issues. Understanding how it would be frustrating with an expensive luxury car and how that frustration is only exacerbated by the current supply chain conditions.

Cheers to the adventures and road ahead.
check engine just went on this morning. Dealership asked if I just got gas. My wife did. Said it could be the cap is loose. Won’t know for 50 miles.

best part is they said the next appointment is January bud don’t worry…keep driving it 😬

5 mos in, no issues. Lots of things I want to do to change it (to get closer to my OffRoad Houligan identity) but has worked flawlessly. Any piddly tech challenge was traced back to the object on the driver’s seat. Once I’ve found out more about the tech and settings, problems fixed (ok not really a problem).

Took delivery of dealer stock in early January 2021, paid 2 K below sticker, and haven’t been back to the dealer once for service! Only service issue was a cracked windshield, taken care of professionally by Safelite. Have an occasional electronic gremlin related to infotainment or a failed update that resolve with a reset.

Thank you everyone for your positive posts. This weekend I am in the middle of nowhere West Texas I would not be here with my Landy unless I had complete confidence I would make it home. We could all use more positive posts so keep them coming

I've had my D90 since early March and it has about 6k miles. The backdoor made a slight ticking/clicking noise over uneven pavement which I resolved by adjusting the latch. Other than that it has been perfect.
