You may remember that last week we featured a video showing a GMC Hummer EV road test that went badly in that the vehicle locked up and would not go into drive to move on its own. The Hummer EV was almost brand new, but after showing a steering rack error, the driver decided to stop and restart the vehicle hoping that the error would clear.
Well, it didn’t clear and after being restarted, the vehicle would no longer go out of the transmission’s park position. Trying to restart it several times afterward didn’t fix the problem, nor did rebooting the vehicle in safe mode with just bare essential systems running. At this point, the called in a tow truck, but since the vehicle was extremely heavy and locked in park, pulling it onto a truck to be carried away was not an option.
