    Thump! Complete Loss of Power on Freeway. Went into Neutral

    Final (hopefully) update. I got my car back on 9/5 (took it in on 8/4 so just over 30 days). Service paperwork lists the following: "Performed short test and found dtc's in PTCU codes U016883 and U019B83, SG-LG codes U1906F1 The control unit 'On-board charger' has an internal fault, U1907F1...

    Polarized front windshield

    My understanding is also that this coating is related to the heated windshield. I cannot tell you how many people ask me about this coating...they all seem to think its some kind of special effect I had applied and what to know where they can get it done.

    Thump! Complete Loss of Power on Freeway. Went into Neutral

    Seems like there have now been at least 2 other incidents similar to mine (shows full regen) in addition to the jumping to neutral incidents. Also interesting about one aspect of the CA Lemon Law being 30 days... my B is still at the dealer. Will be 28 days on Monday. They told me there...

    Thump! Complete Loss of Power on Freeway. Went into Neutral

    My B-Class did not 'reboot' immediately. I spent several minutes blocking 2 lanes of a busy freeway before it decided it would reboot. Sure. But a gasoline car that experiences engine failure within the first few months of ownership with multiple reports like this would cause plenty of...

    full charge still shows I can go only 65 miles

    I agree that the Range reading is useless. I noticed within the first week of driving that the range would only drop like 6 miles on my 18 mile commute. Like others, I look at % charge and my mpkWh to get a better idea where I'm really at.

    Thump! Complete Loss of Power on Freeway. Went into Neutral

    In my case I am the wife but I did ask my husband how he would answer this question and it was similar to how I would. I'm torn. I absolutely LOVE the car. But my experience was very scary and in retrospect it would have been 10X worse with my kids in the car both in fearing for their safety...

    Thump! Complete Loss of Power on Freeway. Went into Neutral

    yes, I agree that mine seems a little different but I did see at least one other one where the screen went dark. We'll see. Haven't heard back from dealer yet...

    Thump! Complete Loss of Power on Freeway. Went into Neutral

    Somewhere between 40-50mph in traffic Center screen in instrument/gauge cluster was totally dark and the car was not responding to input from the accelerator. It did feel a bit like the regen was engaged- that resistance to forward motion but that could also have been a fairly heavy car with...

    Thump! Complete Loss of Power on Freeway. Went into Neutral

    Not exactly the first post I was hoping for. I've lurked on this site a little bit in the past but today got to join this not-so-awesome club on my evening commute when I lost power. I was not able to make it across all 5 lanes of a busy freeway to the shoulder before coming to a complete stop...
