How Many Times Have you Broken down on your Spyder

[groundeffect]

No matter which model you have, or how long you have had or how much you enjoy your Spyder; How many times since you have owned it Spyder has it broken down requiring a tow truck or a reboot on the roadside?

 

[ntxYguy2009]

Zero times with 12,000 miles.

 

[jrbloise]

Never, with 11,300 miles on my SE-5.

Over 31,000 miles on our 2008 SE5 and always humming! We have not installed anything affecting electronics or mechanics.

Never on my SM-5, but constantly on my SE-5--- lots of stopping to allow it to reset--too many times to count in 3K miles. Six weeks in the shop to no avail.

 

[BajaRon]

Does this include when your best buddy "borrows" parts? :yikes:

Otherwise, Zero for 15,000 miles.

Sounds a little like a J D Power questionnaire. :spyder:

Not even close. I just got one of those for my Acura - it was 8 pages! :gaah: They need to send me a lot more than a dollar if they want me to fill that out.

Back on topic - Never had a break down on my Spyder.hyea:

No real breakdowns, just a few hiccups along the way. Had my 91 Mustang GT towed 7 times in the first 3 months of ownership when it was new, so I think overall the Spyder has done good.

 

[NancysToy]

I have been Found On Road Dead several times with my hotrod 53 F-100, a couple of times with my wife's 63 Falcon ragtop, uncountable times with my old Triumphs, and even a few with my Hondas. Never with my BMWs, but I have repaired a few tires at roadside. The Spyder has never let us down in any way. It just has to stop at a lot more gas stations than my Beemer.

Where was the crack? Was it the same place mine was?

I have been towed once. Bad relay.

I have been brokedown a total of 5 times because of faulty relays. I have since fixed that issue.

I got tired of buying and replacing relays so I upgraded 2 of the relays from the 20 amp relay to a 30 Amp weatherproof relay. It doesn't fit in the fuse box so I had had to make an adapter cable, notch the fuse box cover and attach the new relays outside of the fuse box.

No more relay problems.hyea::2thumbs:
