    Fob dead? Car died. Came back to life.

    First, put in a new 12 volt battery on November 10th - and I've been using the car sporadically. Today (12/27/2021) I decided to go out and get some wonton soup- a favorite when I'm sick. Ran down to the local Chinese food restaurant to get some. Came out to the car- and the car was totally...

    Early charging termination.

    2015 Rex. Recently car stops charging after plugging in - with the circuit breaker flipping. It charges for what now seems a random amount of time and then stops. Right now I have it charging with the OUC and everything seems okay (for now?). Chargepoint charger. Oddly the only thing that I have...

    Only get a white light when plug in L2 Charger.

    Once before I had a problem with this. I plug in the car- and the light just stays white. Once before this happened and if I jiggled the plug it would connect- usually after a couple of tries. At that time the dealer looked at it when I mentioned it during a service appt. and the problem...

About 2 (?) months ago I did have problems with fuel door opening- and then that problem disappeared and I was able to fuel up- since I don't...

    Parking brake does not engage

    Hoping somebody can help me. Went to apply the parking brake and it pulls up without any resistance at all. Tried replacing fuses 37 and 40 - they looked good, but just to be sure put in new fuses. If anybody could guide me on something else to try I would be appreciative.

    Change triangle color when engagaing rex

    A couple of days ago I was driving up the NJ Parkway on windy, stormy night. Drove around a lot during the day and figured instead of turning on the rex early I would wait till I had about 10% of charge left (coded). Hit button 8 - my shortcut key, but could not tell if the rex engaged- hard to...

    Leaving the electric port open

    Am I the only one who manages to leave the electric port open? When I first bought the car I did it twice- and twice people pointed it out to me. I thought I had learned to shut it, but I recently did it again- and a lady came over to me thinking my gas door was open and the cap was off.
