I had power spikes and dropouts on mine. I removed the batteries that they came with and replaced them with the 1 battery type and that has helped some. It constantly reads higher than my Tacx Neo 2T (however that could mean that the Tacx is wrong or both are wrong)... I would however tend to believe the Tacx over the V3 based on my experiences with the V3. For example, the Tacx registered 597 kj of work on yesterday's ride vs. 672 kj on the V3.
Hopefully Garmin is able to restock the new doors soon and I'll be able to get them replaced. They call it the "Vector 3 Small Parts Kit"
Sorry to hear it.

A pedal power meter should read a couple % higher than a hub meter because of drive train losses, but what you saw is crazy!
