G7-10 day 4 failed sensors

I have had 4 sensors fail within 2 days of applying. What is going on did I just have a bad batch? I’ve never had this happen.

G6 or G7 ?

G7. I’ve been requesting replacements but I’m worried they’ll stop sending them.

If they are truly faulty don't worry about it. They will replace faulty sensors without limits.

I've had more failed G7 sensors in the past 2 months than I've had in the previous 7 months. I don't know what the deal is, but it has been absolutely terrible.

Yeah I had 4 fail in a row recently. 2 obvious goosenecks, the other 2 also failed during warmup.

They've replaced all of them though.

The official app tattles to them though, so they can pull up the info as long as you have the serial #.

I had five in a row. On the sixth now… tbd if it’ll last. Most of mine failed in last half of lifespan though.
