False Alarm

posted by [personal profile] cathyr19355 at 08:58pm on 14/06/2005
My windshield wipers seem to be okay after all.

I got into my car this morning to zip over to the train station, and the wipers started going as soon as I turned the ignition key. Further experiments revealed that they were responding to the wiper switches normally.

So at least I don't need to spend more on my car *this* month.

The transmission in my new car has now given out twice, luckily each time about a minute from my final destination so I could nurse it there.

I have a receipt from the thing being servied before I bought it, presumably it's still under warantee. The hard part's going to be getting up to cedar park sometime during the day to have it serviced...

In your *new* car? Ouch. So much for bargains. :-(

Yes, if there's a warranty applicable it should still be under it. Maybe you should see if the place you need to go to get it serviced will let you bring it in on a Saturday. Some garages will do that if you go before noon, or something like that.

The scariest emergency repair I've ever needed was the time my tire blew out when we were in West Chester. By the time I got it to the nearest repair place (the dealer who'd sold it to me) that tire was down to the bare metal of the rim.

Concerning the wipers, it only happens about %5 of the time for me. Twiddle with the ignition switch when the car is on, and see if you can make the wipers stop working. Have the car radio on at the same time and see if that quits also.

I think your ploblem is common amongst Subarus. I just had mine serviced, and the mechanic caught my problem. I think the only reason he caught it was because he was looking for it.

This was the first time I'd ever had this problem. My Subaru Impreza is a 1993 model, and I bought used about six or seven years ago.

I can't remember if my radio was on or not; I don't think it was. Anyway, I'll remember your advice in case it ever happens again. Thanks.
