With 2018 Rexton, has anyone had issues with their brake lights flashing very fast for about a minute after the engine is turned off and the vehicle exited? Similarly, occasionally when a trailer's lights are plugged into the car and an indicator is turned on (one side only) the brake lights flash quickly. (The trailer lamp connection to the car has been checked by an automotive engineer and no problems found).

That's a bit tricky .....I assume you are still under warranty it being a 2018 car. ?

Let's take the last issue first being the occasional flashing brake lights when indicator turned on. I assume that if you have had it checked by Auto sparky then he has confirmed you do not need an auxiliary relay. ....sometimes on more modern vehicles they require an intermediary relay to isolate the trailer electrics from the vehicle electrics. Check you do not need one or confirm one is fitted.

Next the first question ....in short I do not know. Warranty issue perhaps. ?? Could be a glitch with your brake relay module ...I am not fully familiar with the later models. I presume that you have had a diagnostic via the cars computer and that no error codes show up. ???

Good luck. Rgds David.

Do I have to change the brake fluid every 2 years on my SsangYong Rexton ELX 2.2 2016 model?

It is recommended that fluids are replaced at routine intervals ..check your handbook for intervals. Also you can go to your garage mechanic and get the fluid checked for quality eg water contaminants etc.

Hi, my ssangyong rexton 2014 is beeping constantly while I drive. The door light was also on, so i covered the sensor on the door next to the driver. The door light went off, however the beeping still goes on. Please help!

Could be the handbrake. Basically you will have to check every sensor which can affect the beeper. Any check engine light on ? Any 4wd check lights on?

That was my concern when I first got it but because initially there is no power on front wheels and due to the mercedes full lock wheel lean, it does not straighten as in small cars. But to be on the safe side I should warn that the lower ball joint in the front wheel should be replaced (both of them) every third or fourth service since it can pop out with no warning and this can result in loss of the wheel and maybe expensive repairs to the steering rack power connections. I learned the hard way cause the dealers told me about this (factory recommendations are 50000km) only after my wheel came off... Lucky me I m fully insured but after 4000$ of repairs Its been four years now with no problems.

So this has not improved on "W" ... This is the stupid inside light sensor that cannot be turned of and the tech of the display itself is ancient. Just bare with it put it in AUTO and forget ;)

Ride quality on my ssangyong rexton w 2015 is very hard. I'm thinking of having rear springs changed to airbags. Opinions please, especially from anyone who has done it.
