This is Part Two. It's a cautionary post for ERay owners.

Thanks for commenting, Steve.

Not sure if you saw the "Part 4" video in this series on my YouTube channel, but they were able to jump start my ERay and tow it to the dealership. I also have additional information in the comment section below the video (conversation with "joem7755") that may be helpful to you.

I do not have a radar detector, so that wasn't a factor for me, but if you give some details about what your situation is, maybe I can provide information specific to your case. You wrote that you're "in the middle of it". Are you saying your ERay wouldn't start recently, like mine?

Hi Bear,
Appreciate the quick response. So my car is in the garage, totally dead. A tow truck is on its way. It should be here any minute, so I'm curious to see how it plays out. I hadn't seen your conversation with Joe M yet, but that's next on my list. I was wondering how you made out with Chevy regarding your problem?

No problem, Steve. I know how much stress my situation caused me, and I'm happy to help.

MacMulkin, the largest Corvette dealership in the world, did fix my ERay under warranty (didn't cost me a dime). Hopefully, you get the same result. Preferably, they're able to jump start it and have as nice a tow truck as in my Part 4 "Tow Day!" video. I would not want to see my Corvette or yours dragged up onto a truck with the transmission locked in Park.

I had a nice run.2 weeks and 200 miles.Yesterday I tried the stealth mode and shuttle, but neither worked.I got a message telling me to bring it in for service.I tried it a few hours later and got alerts saying service headlights and lift system were unavailable. Back to the dealer.Here we go again

Huh. Sorry to hear that. Do you think trying to use Stealth/Shuttle is somehow connected to the problem?

I've used Stealth Mode several times, and I still hold the "World Record" for distance traveled in Stealth before the engine kicks on (4.1 miles on a pretty level road). Videos on my YouTube channel show it.

Please keep us posted, and good luck!
