1900 miles on her. I parked her in the garage Monday night and just went to take her out at lunch today and she was completely dead. The door locks wouldn't even work, though the trunk did. Jumped her then dropped her off at the dealership... Ideas?... I have read about ground and computer issues...

Something else I remembered, the onstar lights on the rear view mirror wouldn't light up

Your title may be a weee bit strong for a discharged battery.

Too dramatic?... Hahaha sorry all the electronics went whacko and I did too

nvydvr · 02-26-2016, 05:01 PM

New car, low miles, my guess is a connection shook loose

Lol I opened this expecting to see engine carnage. Pistons and connecting rods all over the floor. Holes in the block etc

Sorry to hear about your Z though

Yeah I was expecting some crazyness myself... Hope you get it figured out though, battery issues suck.

Died from lack of attention....put some mile on her!

The dealership said the manual Vette's are parked in reverse which puts the cars into "sleep" mode. Shuts off all computers, their car were all going dead after 3-5 days so they called GM and they told them about the sleep mode. They weren't sure if our cars did it too, but they're gonna find out. Has anyone here ever heard of that?

So sitting at the dealership talking to the GM a pimple faced 16 yr old comes in driving a '15 GTR!!! He asks if he can test drive a Vette and they said not alone. He relied he just wants to sit in it and hear it. He says I like it can you clean it up and I'll be back to get it. They were like yea sure... He was driving a 120,000 car... Hour later he was back with dad... Dr. Dad... My orthopedic surgeon... The dealer had to pay him for the trade in on a 63,000 Vette... Who buys 16 year old kids cars like that??? I had a four door Oldsmobile I was occasionally allowed to use... Or my bike.

There are exceptions to the rule but kids like that can't appreciate something they didn't work for and how nice it is. I will likely be able to do the same for my son but he is starting out with a modest car that he has earned.
