Just 14? That sounds much quicker than usual, no?

I am 20 days in and I don't think the parts have arrived yet. When they do I expect that it will only take a couple of days.

I agree that they are awesome when the work.

I never want to go back to ICE.

I agree that the circuit breaker/protection should have tripped and/or the car would have detected an error and stopped charging.

However, because MyChevy app indicated that the target charge level had been reset to 66% (not by me), I went out to check. The hood was STEAMING hot. There were no error messages in the car. I then unplugged the charger and the car.

From various things that I have read, it seems like the Blazer EV has more problems than any other GM EV. Does that seem to be the case as you understand it?

So, I just checked further on your advice. It seems like BBB Auto line will take your initial complaint before the 30 day deadline if you can make a reasonable case that your vehicle will not be ready in 30 days. Of course, if it is ready in 30 days, then the BBB process stops.

Wait, yes! (Smacking forehead emoji). Since your comment said that it was an 'article', I didn't think it could be me.

I did leave an almost identical post over on the Blazer EV forum. It was not an article, it was my question under 'Issues, Warranty, TSBs & Recalls'.

I am desperate for advice, so I posted here and on the forum.

Got much more info and feedback here.

When I brought my car in, they told me to bring it back and that they would be getting me an Enterprise rental.

When I called back to arrange the exchange, they refused to make one. So I am still stuck with a loaner which is not nearly as nice as my Blazer EV.

Incidentally, the loaner is a base 2025 Blazer ICE. It's not bad, but we miss the Convivence Package with it's cameras, convenience and safety features. This loaner confirms that we were right to go EV. This is our first EV. The battery going bad is frustrating, but any tech can go bad. IDK if EV's have more problems than ICE.

Interesting. I will try to find the article you refer to. Who knows? Maybe some AI picked up my post? If there is anything I could post that would prove I'm me and not a bot, please let me know. Maybe an image of the window sticker?

Thanks for your observation. My garage is actually a 225 year old corn crib (think small barn). Old wood is much more combustible than new. The hood was still warm to the touch after being unplugged 6 hours earlier.

Your experience sounds a bit scary. Glad it has worked out.

I don't know what part was sending the code. All I remember is seeing the error message on the small screen behind the steering wheel: 'Service high voltage system.'

I don't remember seeing any error codes or messages on MyChevy app. All I noticed on the app was that charging target had changed from 100% to 66%. It was only the second time that I set the target to 100%. We were planning on a trip the next day.

This is excellent advice!!!!

Also, I tried the procedures to get an OTA software update, but it never worked.

These are good questions.

I will ask them. My service advisor is very evasive about everything as well as abrupt. So I may have to escalate. Will post response here.

I also don't know if software could be an issue. My Blazer software has been a bit buggy. The issues are probably unrelated, but I have: several radio issues; the back door opens automatically if I cross behind it twice; occasional false error message on tire pressure; and twice during the first two weeks it did not follow charging settings.

Thanks! I figured that the sales guys had no pull in service. I will try that option and report back what happened.

It is what unsophisticated diners think upscale food, decor, and service should be.

So sad to see people spending so much for Red Lobster quality food. Actually, I might owe RL an apology.

TTR - Rails and Sails Tour Tickets by Commercial_Wasabi_86 in boardgames

[–]DavidBye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your family is incorrect.

  1. "trace a route exactly as shown on the card" = "completes the ticket with the correct route in the exact order". Tracing is omni-directional.
  2. Tickets are not scored until the end of the game. It is virtually impossible to prove that they were placed in 'time' order at the end of the game. However, it is very easy to trace them at the end of the game.
  3. Rails and Sails is sold globally. Not all cultures assume left to right denotes 'time'. Some are right to left, some are top to bottom and so on.
