and I'm hoping things go smoothly.
1) there's a crack in the seam of my armrest - driver's side. There's a kind of "handle" on the arm rest/door and the very seam of it (top corner) is cracked...or split. It's a natural place for that to happen but unexpected to be sure.
2) the covers for the A pillars (I think that's what they are - edges of the front windshield) keep working their way loose. I can pound them back on with my hand but when they're loose - it's a huge pain. Very loud and disconcerting.
3) a few transmission issues I want reassurance on. I had a huge transmission issue with my last car and I want them to check this out.
4) Does anyone else find that it takes this car a LONG time to warm up? We've had a very cold winter here in S.E. Michigan and the colder it is, the longer it takes to warm up. I get that - but man, it takes it a long time. The seats don't heat up unless my butt is in it and the cabin is cold for a long time. Not sure what is up with that. My 2005 Freestar warmed up in minutes - whether or not I was driving. This one takes a long time and seems like it only starts once I start driving (and then takes a mile longer). weird.
I've been lax around here as my husband has been sick and undergoing treatment since October. But I try to duck in every now and again.
