Anyone else have this happen? I was driving and all of a sudden the car starts throwing all kinds of codes, telling me to get to safety. I was simply driving on a country road at 40 mph with the road completely clear of debris. I was able to get to a shoulder but once stopped, the car wouldn't go into gear. It was telling me that it was trying to connect the high voltage system and that acceleration would be reduced (it would not move.) I contacted road side assistance and had to wait 2 hours for a tow. Over those 2 hours, the 12v battery died completely and I could not even put the car into tow mode or the driver's window back up. (Driver's window lowered itself into the door once the battery was dead when I got out.) Car had to be put on sliders to get it on the flat bed since the rear wheels were locked.
Service center is telling me that the Pyrotechnic fuse has blown and will be replaced under warranty. My question is "Why did it blow?" I scared there is a bigger problem under the surface. Car is 100% stock and only 1.5 years old. There's no reason for the main battery fuse to blow unless you have a collision or some sort of debris that breached the high voltage system, neither are the case here. I guess it could be a bad motor or something in the HVAC system but the SC is not saying that these are the reason the main fuse blew. I'm worried about getting stranded again if there is an underlying issue that isn't addressed.
Any insights into this from anyone who has had this issue?
