| Jun 20185000 mi | The car is electric and the propulsion system totally failed while driving. The car had been idle for 3 weeks while I was traveling and the failure occurred the first time I drove it after coming back. The car only got a few hundred feet from my house before becoming completely immobilized; it had to be pushed out of the road. The dealer service department with the help of GM engineers eventually determined that the main battery fuse blew, but they couldn't determine why. They kept the car a long time waiting for the replacement part which they did not have in stock. | ||
