Batteries - common problem?
Good day all - I am new to RR. I bought a 2015 RR L494 Hybrid end of December 2021 - after a week we went to Norway for 2 weeks. Driving from Voss to Geilo with icy roads and minus 10 the car showed a large number of failures (ABS, Break Reinforcements, Stability) - the driving options were limited to Auto, no other off-road of anything. Pretty scary when driving on challenging conditions. Car was towed away - warnings disappeared after the 12v battery was disconnected an whole night. Nevertheless they came back after 2 days. Did not stop till I was back in Germany and in Holland again. Seems the cold got to it (??) How is this possible with such a car? RR is now for inspection at the dealer. I am pretty concerned the hybrid battery is failing, understand the costs are pretty high (in the thousands of euros). I still have 5 months warranty so I want to make the case to replace both batteries since it seems this is THE common problem for this model. Any thoughts or experiences?
