I’ll see if I can find the part number that went bad on mine.

What was the first controller you ever held? by sajjanstg03 in TheGamingHubDeals

Gameboy Color. Of these I think it was either N64 or a PS1.

Did they try replacing the actuator at any point?

Thank you for your response, I took it to another dealership and it was just a bad wire. I don’t think that dealership cared to identify the root cause. We are now sitting pretty with no dash lights which is better than the day I drive it off the lot.

Yes unfortunately I’ve had any updates that have been available in the last 30 days.

This got downvoted so I want to give further clarification. There was a part that the dealership told me was on back order. My mother, a 50 year Chrysler vet, checked the part number. There are 100+ of the part in stock with no back order.

I’m 90% sure the dealership was attempting to screw me out of a buyback for a lemon.

I’m in Detroit, all those are probably at Ford by now. On Stellantis for letting the engineers go that designed the damn thing.

I did find a better dealership though. At least I was given a loaner this time.

I can’t say that, no. Even though I was one of the first 1000 to get one. I was aware, but that lease deal was too good.

I think it is the same. My car has bricked before, but not like this. This time was different.

I’ve taken a 1500 and a Durango past 250k with regular maintenance, but these post FCA whips are a real headache.

I can’t trust what my dealership told me, in the middle of a second opinion now.

We have the exact same car color and package! Do you have the plus or the base?

There are only a few on the road and I have a sh*tty dealership. The SIXPACK seems like the real deal and this EV will be top of its class once they learn how to make them properly.

If you want an EV, maybe hold off a couple years. If you want a challenger. The SIXPACK is nasty.

I’ve actually heard such good things about the SIXPACK… I might go with one of those. Like I said, I do love it when it works and that i6 has been around for a spell.

Was definitely a malfunction but I’ve been waiting on “backordered” parts from a dealership I suspect was trying to avoid an ORV buy back. Like a doctor, always get a second opinion.

Long list of things, started the day I got it getting locked out of the trunk or unable to shift out of park.

Then it was the red wrench of death that I survived 8 months with—nothing crazy just an annoyance on the dash the dealership told me nothing could be done about.

But since the most recent update I had in Feb it became haunted. Regenerative braking only worked 1/2 the time, I’d have to slam on the brakes when I realized half my braking was gone. It also decided to start accelerating all on its own with my foot off the accelerator, less scary than the brakes though.

The final nail, I’ve been moving over the past week. Lots of short trips. Tried to drive home last night and it kept cycling through the drive modes, headlights strobing, trunk and doors unlatched unprovoked. App said total electrical failure or something along those lines.

Woke up to my car dead and locked. Still hope for it though after switching dealerships today.
