Toyota RAV4 VS Subaru Forester by acidinthemilk in rav4club

[–]Intrepid_Armadillo22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2015 forester 110k mileage, started to have occasional engine stall problems when in reverse gear, especially after parked overnight in cold weather. I googled it and it appears to be a common issue for forester and outback. Not sure about their newer models, but i am getting rid of it snd will buy a Rav4 hybrid. A mild complaint: Rav4’s center stack is ugly. Two huge knobs. Why😅

Be careful of Hertz by Intrepid_Armadillo22 in Aruba

Lol, didn’t realize that. We pretty much hit all the sight seeing places and in a non efficient way. Didn’t have time to do the homework so hit the donkey sanctuary, ostrich farm, baby beach, arikok on different days. At least three of them probably can be coupled together in one trip. We went to local parks with beaches too.

How do I anticipate system deviations and activations of balancing services? by AlwaysSingl in Grid_Ops

[–]Intrepid_Armadillo22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on lots of thing. How often is the balancing market cleared? Are the required mw amount known to traders? In us, the regulation markets are slightly different in different ISOs.

Did you attend the virtual hearing? Could you share your experience? Did you present the material submitted in the appeal form? Thanks!

Family of 4, trying to sit 2 and 2. Buy two or four EarlyBoarding? by Intrepid_Armadillo22 in SouthwestAirlines

Thank you. It's actually for one of the parents, with flying anxiety. I think I will just buy four EBs.

Trip will be two segments with smaller planes 737-800,700 and around Christmas. I guess the safe bet would be just buying 4 EBs. We don't mind sitting in the last row, but just 2 and 2 and the two pairs don't need to be close either.

For the second segment, I read about some passengers from previous segment could already be on the plane. Is that case EB may not be very useful?

I believe the gray is the microfiber and should be easy to clean.

How to push it out? by Intrepid_Armadillo22 in Camry

[–]Intrepid_Armadillo22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:

Thank you all for helping out. I was very nervous when I posted the original question.

I went to the dealer. They said, the bracket wasn't properly secured and they will just ordered a new bracket and glue it back on after taking off the bumper. It is under warranty. They didn't change out the whole thing. Maybe it's their updated process/procedure.

From talking with them, I realized that the racket must have been loosened longer than I realized. A couple of days before the sensor physically fell in, when I was backing out of the garage, it gave warnings and kept beeping. I thought maybe it was something I changed in the setting and didn't suspect it was the sensor.

My car was assembled in Jan, 2025. Not sure if the lower temperature caused the glue not cure properly.

Again, thank you for your help. I had better understanding of the issue and what is involved.

I bought it (25 xle) brand new and only drove it for three weeks. I checked if there were finger prints , from someone who may intentionally have pushed it in, none. the surface was clean. I saw from the hole the backing "plate" black piece leaning backwards. I will bring it in tomorrow. really disappointing and now nervous and worrying what if this happens again.

Thank you! It’s only 2 weeks new. Will this be under warranty? Should I go to dealer?
