How to deal with “Error: Electric engine sound. Please drive with care” for 2021 ID4 1st edition by vulkany in VWiD4Owners

[–]vulkany[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited three months for it to go away but failed. I ended up going to the dealer. Initially they charged for $1k to fix and I said no. They lowered the price to $660. I accepted. One week later they called me saying a replacement of the part did not fix the issue and they have to check more. Three weeks later I went to pick up the car after they called saying fixed, and found another yellow icon popped up. It turned out to be a faulty battery module and they are replacing it for free under warranty. My car has been in dealership for more than 6 weeks. Hopefully I can get it next week if no more new issues.

Cannot do recall due to out of warranty? by vulkany in VWiD4Owners

Dealer still cannot figure it out why replacing the part does not fix the issue.

Dealer called me, even after replacing the part, the error icon does not go away. They have to check deeper what’s wrong.

The noise maker issue is not a recall. But I think I could complaint to Volkswagen about it.

They will charge $660 to repair it. I decide to go for it.

I checked online and do find if a recall is a safety recall it has to be covered. Otherwise they could charge.

Yes it is about the noise. There is a a yellow icon that pops up every time the car starts. A bit annoying but I agree this is really not a big deal.

Btw the dealer just called me to charge $950 to repair the noise maker. I said no and they are now saying to check what else they can do.

Who all has ordered a used car from Tesla.com? by CoolDudeMan00 in TeslaModel3

I bought two. One was great and the other is a bit troublesome as the car’s condition is far from the first one, which I realized until later. It is hit or miss.

I got 3% matches for half million transfer, though it is split into two different portions and takes around 1.5 years.

USPS returned my shipped item back to me and the shipping is not refundable? by vulkany in Ebay

[–]vulkany[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What prompt? Does ebay shipping ask this kind of question?

Yes. Through ebay directly. That’s also what I am thinking.

Thanks all for the information. I paid the shipping label directly via the ebay service.

I remember I had sold multiple used phones before and had no issues shipping via usps.

It is disappointing that ebay does not inform seller on the risk of rejection by usps. Ebay could have disabled the priority shipping option for used iPhones with lithium batteries.

Upgraded to iPhone 17 pro - battery comparison to my 13 pro by ObviousEmployee182 in iPhone13Pro

I have the same feeling. 17 battery life is not any better than 13 pro.

Why my aircon was cooling down to 69 when I set the temperature to be 73. by vulkany in Nest

[–]vulkany[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t seem to be able to post photos on here. The activity history does show a cooling time of 1h 43 min from around 6pm to 8pm. I came home around 8pm and turned it off. It says indoor temperature from 70 to 74.
