I bought a 2013 XUV625I back in March and received it in May. I got 35 hours on so far. Sunday, I was riding and heard a squeak/scrubbing sound coming from under the right side of the cab. I parked due to lack of time then. I got someone to drive it while I walked along trying to locate the sound. I found it. The driveshaft for front wheels comes out of the transmission and goes into a CV joint under the right side of the cab. Right next to the CV joint, there is a bearing stabilizing the shaft. Apparently, the bearing blew its seals and had leaked all of its grease out on the mount. It's well on its way to failure. Well, at least it's still under warranty. I'm taking it back to the dealer and letting them replace it. I hope that this was just an isolated problem with a bad part. I can't stand stuff like this going wrong as new as my Gator is. I would expect this after a couple of years of usage, but not this early in the game..
