2024?????
It has been one of those “bug vs windshield” years so far and we are only into May….. I am screwed.
1: 2015 Chevy Volt (commuter car) went to the dealer in January for warranty battery replacement. Thus my secondary vehicle, a 1995 GMC K1500 now becomes my primary daily driver, oh yeah, it has 350K on the clock.
April 13th, I get a call from the dealer informing me I will be lucky to get the Volt back by October due to Lithium supply shortages. A week later the GMC goes down for an unknown issue. After diagnosing it for a week, I replace the following:
-Vacuum line check
-Fuel filter
-IAC module
-TPS module
-EGR valve and sensor
-cap/rotor/ and Ignition module
-MAP Sensor
-rebuilt TBI with two new injectors
-O2 sensor
-new K&N air filter
Truck ran great after the repairs and then went to complete chit 20 minutes into the test drive. So I am still trying to fix my 30 year old truck. Fuel related or a blocked CAT. Doing all this on my days off and using the parents truck.
Parents needed their truck back after letting me borrow it for a week(which I was very appreciative). So there I sat, no way to get to work or anywhere else. Was forced in getting another commuter car to use while my first commuter hybrid/EV sits, rotting at the dealer for ten+ months. [emoji849]
WTF !?!?!?!?!? [emoji1589]EV’s n hybrid battery systems.
You ask, so what is the morel to this tail?
We are headed to the big Li-ion ice-burg if there are supply issues for a 2015, which was just the start of the hybrid/EV push. Imagine what is going to happen when all of today’s EV’s take a chit….. just sayin
