    First Trip in The X

    That makes sense, but I had my key fob with me both times, and the car should automatically unlock when I'm holding the keys and standing next to it. So it is strange that I could pull out the charger one time, but not the next time!

    First Trip in The X

    Question on this - I was charging my X at a J1772 charger the other day on a road trip. The first time, I charged it to full charge, and I was able to just pull out the adapter and charging cable. The second time, it was still charging - I tried to remove it, but it seemed locked in. I think...

    Preference: manually shut front doors or depress handle?

    I gently push it closed. When I try to push the handle, there's no resistance behind the door so you kind of have to use two hands to push the handle. I just don't slam it.

    Rust under third row seats

    I haven't seen rust, but we had all this grease from the hinges that was getting on the back of the third row seats and looked really bad. It was really noticeable when they were folded down - there should be some kind of additional flap that covers the back of the seats when they're folded so...

    Anyone using 3 car seats (Diono RadianRXTs?)

    Not sure if you read the owner's manual (I admittedly haven't!) but there is a section on child tethers and where to place them for each seat in the vehicle. It also discusses single-strap vs. dual-strap tethers.

    Midnight silver metallic on the model x??

    I did get the perforated seats, but I haven't had them long enough to know if they will hold up, other than the incident with the blood on the seat that I mentioned!

    Midnight silver metallic on the model x??

    I love the white! It is so unique, and I think it makes the interior feel bigger. I don't know how it will hold up over time with kids. My mom cut her finger and was bleeding on the white seats and it wiped right off. It definitely shows dirt more easily from my daughter's shoes (she is in a...

    So sad. . .the X is going back to service center :(

    Nope - the times I've seen it happen have been inside my garage (nothing blocking it, plenty of room to open), and when it has been outside in the rain. I don't know if rain somehow messes up the sensors? It normally works fine outside when it isn't raining. But obviously a car's doors need to...

    So sad. . .the X is going back to service center :(

    Problem is happening again with the FWDs not opening fully. Car is going back to service center this weekend for the second time.

    So sad. . .the X is going back to service center :(

    As an update to my original post - the car went to the service center for a day. They weren't able to replicate the FWD issue, but it seems to be resolved since we did the latest software update. Fingers crossed that it continues to work without any issues! They said that the screen freezing...

    Drop-in phone charger with a case?

    Hi - has anyone been able to use the drop in phone charger with a phone case? When I picked up my car, they told me that my current phone case (iphone 5s) wouldn't work with the drop-in charger. My case is pretty standard - just a rubber grip thingie around the back and edges of the phone. If...

    6 seat versus 7 seat - need HELP please

    I had the same worries - I ordered the 7-seater, then saw all of these complaints about it and wondered if I should have gotten the 6-seater. I'm happy with the 7-seater, however. A few thoughts: 1) I think that the issue with the middle seat headrest is WAY overblown. When I'm backing out...

    So sad. . .the X is going back to service center :(

    Yes I thought that's what you meant - but I am having the issue in parking lots now as well, so it doesn't seem to be specific to my garage! This is how it looked today when I was out running errands. Sometimes it opens a little more, sometimes a little less, but rarely opens all the way on its...

    What to say when asked how much your X costs...

    I've thought about giving this answer since my husband actually DID buy it for me as a surprise Christmas gift! But I think it can come off sounding sort of out of touch...a new car is a major investment for most people, so to say that you don't know how much your car costs and that your spouse...
