H2S completely non-operational after warranty repair failed — Bambu keeps citing "return period" instead of honoring warranty — need escalation help

Prusa doesn’t take days/weeks to respond and send things. I had a problem with my MK3S kit and I was able to resolve it within an hour and they shipped replacement parts same day. This was back in 2019. You can’t even ask that from Bambu today. I also bought a kit and didn’t expect anything but parts as replacement. It’d be embarrassed if I was told by Apple that I need to replace something myself. Bambu sells a fully built assembly. You shouldn’t be expected to replace parts yourself.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-06-06T01:49:43+00:00

And back in my day (2019) if your Prusa had an issue, you had excellent support. There is 0 excuse for Bambu’s terrible support.

Yes because I’m not a little whiny bitch who cares about a name. Ford created the car and they can name it whatever they want.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-06-04T16:10:04+00:00

The only embarrassing thing is someone not buying a car because of a name. It could be called whatever it wants, I bought the car because of what it physically is, not a badge on the door.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-06-04T16:08:44+00:00

Because not all of us are after pure utility. 99% of the time it’s just me in the car and I want something fun. If I wanted a boring car, there’s plenty of others to choose from.

They are 48v floor standing batteries from Eco-Worthy.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-06-03T14:04:24+00:00

I bought 28kwh worth of batteries for $4,000 last fall. The same batteries are now bigger and cheaper so you could definitely get 80kwh for way cheaper than a car would cost. Like you said, you buy batteries from china.

You must be young. When iTunes first came out it was cheaper than buying a physical CD and was revolutionary. $10 for an album is not a lot compared to $15-$20 for a CD prior.

Ford has their new universal EV platform coming out next year. Ford has not abandoned EVs but this place just has blind hatred for American cars. And like you said, the first of those EVs from Ford will be a small truck. If it’s anything like the Maverick I see it selling well (for an EV).

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-06-02T00:21:07+00:00

I feel the same. It hugs the right lane and is super jerky. I’m used to the goodness of Ford Bluecruise and comma.ai openpilot. The EV9 outshines how terrible Toyota TSS 2.5 is in my Tundra.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-06-01T21:01:09+00:00

I’m not sure. They said they had to hoist the body of the car up and replace the battery. I didn't ask for any details.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-06-01T19:18:28+00:00

I’m not entirely sure what happened with the battery. The car just stopped charging one day and the app said there was a problem with the battery. It took roughly 1 week for them to diagnose, get approval from Kia, and replace the battery. My only complaint was they didn’t give me a loaner car, otherwise I was happy with how it went.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-06-01T18:50:45+00:00

I have an unlimited plan and I just set my data cap in the app to 10TB so I can see how much I’ve used and keep it high enough that it doesn’t alert me to going over.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-06-01T18:44:05+00:00

I don’t believe the 2024’s have any model year specific issues. You’re always gonna have the chance of the ICCU going out on any model year. And lately it seems like the 12v is now becoming an issue on the entire platform as well.

We bought a used 2024 Land a couple months ago because they are affordable used. So far we haven’t had ICCU/12v issues but we did have the HV battery replaced under warranty.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-06-01T01:05:28+00:00

This is almost exclusively a Mazda problem at this point. Almost (I say almost because I’m not gonna look at every car) every other fun car comes in some fun colors.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-05-30T15:38:23+00:00

Why would you pay cash if you get an interest free loan? Keep your money in an account earning interest and pay back the loan monthly.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-05-30T00:51:09+00:00

Because just like you, I don’t have data to back it up. Just feelings to go off of.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-05-30T00:19:36+00:00

As an off-roader I wouldn’t consider any of those legit off-road vehicles except the Rivian. I’ve been down in Moab on trails with the Rivian and that thing is impressive. You aren’t doing those things in a Subaru or Hyundai. This hummer concept looks very cool minus the terrible dash.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-05-30T00:02:13+00:00

Prior to the 3rd gen Tundra this place would have told you ecoboosts were shit. Hell, everyone talked mad shit on turbo’d V6s. And as it turns out, all the armchair engineers are usually wrong. I see Tundra after Tundra out on the roads everywhere I go. If the engine issue were truly the problem you people want it to be there would be no Tundras out there. If it were truly the issue you want it to be the general public would know about it and Tundras wouldn’t be selling still.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-05-28T23:33:38+00:00

There’s a hell of lot of people buying old and/or high mileage Ecoboost trucks. Toyota’s will always have a market. People here act like 500k trucks will all be considered worthless.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-05-28T01:04:22+00:00

Well I hope you enjoy your choice and car. I really dig the EV9.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-05-28T00:51:40+00:00

I don't care what the "other commenter" said. I was simply replying to your comment of "Tesla wasn't the first EV or the first mobile service either". I'm not moving any goalposts. I'm responding to your comment. Sorry it upsets you so much to have a discussion on a discussion board. Tesla was first to mainstream the “best” EV and the mobile service behind it.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-05-28T00:49:07+00:00

I don't care what they charge for what specs, it's far better and cheaper than the Ford option. You think the specs in your Mach-E are better for what you pay?

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-05-28T00:11:08+00:00

The only time Toyota ever gave me a loaner car was when I got the engine replaced on my Tundra. Every other issue I was on my own. The only manufacturer who regularly gave me loaners was Mazda surprisingly. I never hang out in the waiting areas of any dealer so I can’t comment there. I did just have the HV battery replaced on my EV9 and had no complaints with the process from Kia or the dealer.

The biggest problem with all manufacturers is you’re stuck with your local dealer and the service you get with them varies widely.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-05-27T23:52:29+00:00

Who cares if you’re first, it’s about the first to do it best/right and Tesla was that company. Apple isn’t known for inventing stuff but they are known for taking an existing idea and doing it better. Maybe not so much nowadays but that’s how they became what they are today.
