So the other day it started to act up and flash a Battery display on the cluster I changed to the dash to voltage to see if it was charging and it was so I continued back to my shop hooked up a voltmeter and she was charging so I figured agh fist year production glitch I’ll call dealer on Monday and get it in there. Low and behold this morning I jump in and go to run a quick errand and it battery light comes on, check engine light comes on it shut down the heated seats and wheel started flashing blind spot detection I quickly flip to the voltage gauge and see it’s over charging at 15.4 so I start to accelerate and it started to sputter etc I’m like **** she’s not charging so I managed to limp her back to my driveway I turn her off and that was it running boards won’t deploy dash won’t light up door locks etc so I go get my charger and let her charge I take my wife’s bmw head to my shop and grab my booster pack so I can get it over to the dealer I get back home and nothing it’s like I don’t even have a battery, nothing works so I’m gonna have it towed to the dealer tomorrow. It’s only has 1800 miles

Sounds like a faulty alternator.

Is this the new style 2019 or classic?

Jeez I hate to see these issues. Seems to be a lot of different stuff happening on the 2019's be it a classic or new style.
