This happened last week, got my car towed to dealership service, they replaced battery and performed multipoint inspection - all looked good and sent me home.

After return, I did feel the car to not be normal from a battery perspective - flickered few times when starting at a signal stop, dashboard date time was automatically reset, until this morning when the clicking sound returned and car died again. Towed and sitting at dealership again!

Please help me understand what is going on??

would need the scan the codes.

 

Scan codes would help. But sounds like a grounding problem to me. Clicking could be relays gaining/losing power.

 

Surely by '23 they had the ground recall incorporated on new built? If not, this sounds like the same problem we had on our '19.

 

Well, you would also think they would have fixed the windshield leaks issue, too. But here we are.

 

Thanks guys for your inputs, my service advisor says they need to replace the Alternator. That would take another few weeks for replacement to arrive from UK to California.

I’m disappointed by this vehicle now, it has been sitting more than 50% time at service center in the past 5 months, phew! And I have still been paying the lease amount while I do not have the car with me during those months.

I have loved the car until this point, sad to be in this state of constant breakdowns and repairs.

Any advice on how to end my 3 year lease early by about 10months?

 

You might want to speak to a Lemon Law attorney. California is stronger than most in that area.
