So you'll never believe my current situation (okay, maybe you will, but I can't).
I'm on vacation at the Kalahari resort in the Wisconsin Dells. I was driving to the convention center from my lodge, and my CEL came on right after the engine restarted as I took off from a stop sign. I pulled into a parking lot at the resort and called OnStar. They ran the diagnostic probe and said it was a "High Voltage Battery Sensing Failure" and said I need to have it serviced within a day. The guy found the nearest dealer, but the dealer said they wouldn't be able to service it until Monday.
Great, that's when I need to be at work back at home. I asked if I could still drive it home from the Dells and he said "yeah, as long as it seems like it's running fine you shouldn't have an issue" so I took it back to the lodge and parked it. Upon trying to restart it, I get no propulsion or engine at all. The "whoosh" sound plays and it says "Initializing...wait to shift" for about 5 seconds as normal. After that, it goes to the dashboard but with no "READY" light and none of the accessories work. If I shift it, it says "Shift To Park".
It also shows my propulsion battery is full but with 0 miles range, even though I know it's empty.
I'm currently waiting on a tow truck to the nearest dealer 7 miles away where I will hopefully be able to get a loaner for getting home, and I'm hoping they'll deliver my car back to my local dealer when it's done being serviced.
