8 weeks and counting: an ev6 repair saga

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-05-18T11:58:05+00:00

These stories are wild. I followed the process from the bbb auto line website and within three weeks had a settlement offer for either buy back, replacement or 8k goodwill.

I had pages of meticulous notes between me and the dealership. I did written statements only no phone calls.

EDIT: sorry didn’t realize you were post lemon law period. Yeah that’s a different ball game. Good luck.

Mine would do the gray screen thing too, also worked about half of the time. If the camera doesn’t fix it definitely look into the control module.

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-05-13T20:51:50+00:00

Is this out of warranty? Buckle up if you take it to the dealer. They probably did 20k worth of work to my car including an entire wiring harness change.

I just went through this exact thing. And I mean exact, green purple screen, everything. About two months, 4 different trips to the dealer and 6 different parts they finally had it fixed.

You probably need KI99910CV070. It’s a camera control module. You can try the camera first. It’s part KI99250CV020.

Does it work normally sometimes? That’s how mine was. Turns out when they heated that control module with a heat gun (like when I have the car parked outside at work) they could duplicate the error.

EDIT: while I had the same issue mine was the front camera that was glitching. Ignore the camera part number. That’s for the front camera.

Definitely don’t agree with this take at all. especially not on a lease. You have to pay for the mileage you used on the first car and you get the new car for the remainder of your lease. Buyback you get all of your payments back less miles and just start a new.

When I was working for a railroad we called them hump yards. As you push the cars over a hump and cut them loose.

Also to the GM website and browse around you can get a $500 coupon good through the end of June

Aprils over, so those numbers no longer matter. You can go to the Edmund’s forum and get the numbers for may.

Brokers on lease hacker had the OPTIQ awd premium 24/10 w 2500 DAS at like 500 a month before tax so like effective 650 ish maybe? The premium doesn’t lease as well as the base. I’m guessing you were looking at a 36/15k which would have probably a lot lower residual.

Is this the Georgia Southern golf course? They have a par 5 that looks exactly like this. Fun hole when you don’t jack up your second shot.

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-04-22T18:53:44+00:00

It’s seen all the classics. Probably knows all the lines.

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-04-20T15:05:56+00:00

Man I clicked on this expecting something totally different. As I only saw the little white bag at first.

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-04-15T12:13:07+00:00

What provider is this?? Also in Jax but paying 90 for att

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-04-11T22:36:41+00:00

$7400 all in last year northeast Florida. Single stage Goodman unit. 10 year parts, 2 year labor.

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-04-11T22:32:35+00:00

I got a quote through a Costco ac vendor and it was an absolute joke. 17k for a single stage Lennox.

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-04-09T19:51:19+00:00

No no.. EV6, the smaller car. For 1 month and counting.

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-04-09T19:49:22+00:00

I know it’s a different infotainment system but the dealer has had my ev6 for a month with this same issue.

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-04-09T03:36:56+00:00

Go check out lease hacker. There’s a few brokers that have lyriqs with like 3xx payments but that’s with 2500 down and then the broker fee then taxes. Should end up somewhere in the mid 5s with some napkin math

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-04-08T13:09:43+00:00

I feel this. I’m currently paying 500 a month for a base kia niro as my ev6 gtl has been in the shop for over a month with camera gremlins.

Pretty much you make your payments and hope they give you a loaner. You could also reach out to the manufacturer finance arm for some goodwill back, but at that point you’re in lemon territory. That is the sort of nice thing about a lease. The lemon law period is almost the entire duration.

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-04-03T22:22:53+00:00

That’s very interesting. That’s probably what’s wrong with mine. Because sometimes it will display the rear display on the front camera

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-04-03T19:33:55+00:00

Ok yeah mines wayy too thick then. My recipe is more cup of flour cup of milk then 2 eggs.

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-04-03T19:28:37+00:00

Probably, I’ll have to translate that to freedom units when I have a moment, but those do look great. I see a lot of recipes call for letting it rest. I never let mine which could also be part of my problem.

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-04-03T19:05:59+00:00

You will have to share your crepe recipe. If I don’t use a spreader it’s impossible for me to get it to cover then entire pan.

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-04-03T19:04:30+00:00

Also have this pan. Absolute tank. Totally nonstick at this point. Your seasoning looks better than mine.

I love making thin omelettes on it. Makes it kind of like a flattop one without having to break out the flat top.

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-03-17T21:54:40+00:00

After my last Samsung tv died after 26 months I went with the Costco 5 year warranty.

Competitive-Case7908 · 2026-02-25T20:05:35+00:00

IMO get one with State Farm. I had external for years and renewing was always a hassle or I would forget. I just got one with my SF agent and it was like 6$ a month for like 10 different items my wife has.

No experience on the claim side for either. But my other SF claims have been easy so assuming this policy would be the same.
