  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Just hit a year with my GV80 and I love it - but I don't love what's happening to it now. A month ago, I had an error pop up and it went away so fast i couldn't read it - I then pulled into my driveway and a message came on that said 'draining battery'. It was then deader than dead. Zero power. Couldn't put it in Neutral to have it towed - needed a flat bed. Was there for 10 days and they replaced both front lighting units -$5K - glad I bought the extended warranty. Drove it for a week or two when I was coming down a street with no lights, i turned my brights on - 2 seconds later, the brights go off and the error
'Check Intellilgent Front - Lighting System (IFS). Took it in again - they said something about cleaning corrosion off of something because the last repair there was water left somewhere. That evening, I turn the brights on - you guessed it - brights went off and same error appeared. I am taking it back on Saturday. Anyone else? LOL
 
That is a truly bizarre issue. I'd ask the dealer to replace the vehicle battery first before anything else. A faulty battery can cause all sorts of electrical issues that could at first glance seem unrelated.

If that doesn't solve it, I'd be trading that vehicle in ASAP.
