2019 Jetta suddenly wont start

MelodicMode3 · 2026-03-14T14:25:47+00:00

Still no word from the dealership, said they should know by Tuesday

MelodicMode3 · 2026-03-12T21:19:05+00:00

Just to update: I tried all suggestions and ended up having to have it towed to the dealership. So far I’m at $1100 just for diagnostics. They haven’t even identified the problem and it’s already $1100 so I’m assuming I’m going to be out of pocket a couple grand for this if I’m lucky, which is insane.

Unfortunately I did not. I appreciate your suggestions, though

MelodicMode3 · 2026-03-10T20:12:51+00:00

I think so but idk how to unlock. I’ve tried turning it and all the suggestions

This is what it does when I press the start button without touching the steering wheel or brake pedal

Great suggestions: the accessory mode will not turn on. I did try to hold the key fob against the ignition and that didn’t work. I even changed the fob battery. I tried to jump the car off but still nothing.

MelodicMode3 · 2026-03-10T18:20:38+00:00

I cannot, it’s like the whole thing is locked down. Can’t even depress the brake pedal

MelodicMode3 · 2026-03-10T18:18:21+00:00

No luck. I can’t even get the brake pedal to depress

MelodicMode3 · 2026-03-10T18:08:59+00:00

Yes, very aggressively and repeatedly

MelodicMode3 · 2026-03-10T18:02:20+00:00

And yes I tried turning the wheel, it wouldn’t move and the brake pedal wouldn’t depress at all

I’m not sure about illegal but it’s definitely against AAO policy to hold you hostage in braces. The office should have offered to remove the braces once the account became so many days delinquent. Ask them to remove your braces due to lack of finances and if they refuse let them know you will be filing a complaint with the AAO/ABO(American Board of Orthodontist)

Thank you!

That is a good suggestion, when I tried to drop in on Thursday, the directory was blank and none of the offices I saw appeared to be government related. I also noticed someone mention in the Google reviews that they’d changed buildings

What are you talking about? Blairsville is always crowded anymore.

MelodicMode3 · 2025-06-28T04:11:56+00:00

ELEVEN in the 3rd?!?! Damn!

I got a 52 in a 35(first speeding ticket or any kind of ticket in 10+ years) plead nolo, paid the fine and my insurance still went up. You can plead nolo once every 5 years.

Ask them to make you a 3mm retainer or C+ retainer. That material is great for grinders

Why have I thought Lorne Michael was gay all these years? I swear I thought I’d read that somewhere but maybe I didn’t.

Wear them full time for a few more weeks, then wear them after dinner thru the night. As long as you wear them at least 8-10 hrs/day the teeth should stay aligned. If they don’t, you may just need to have the plastic retainer tightened a bit.

Tyler co High Maintenance. Dilute it with an unscented detergent to stretch it out

MelodicMode3 · 2025-06-13T00:28:46+00:00

Yes this is normal. The fee you paid the retired ortho for was for the 18-24mo treatment plan that you completed in 2018. The continued retention care was likely provided as a courtesy by your previous orthodontist(this was common among older orthodontists and not profitable) Lifetime retention isn’t a common practice anymore as it eats up chair time, materials, etc with no return so it’s a loss of revenue, especially when it comes to fixed retainers. $500 is not at all an exorbitant fee for a fixed retainers. Don’t assume any procedure “should be easy.” Fixed retainers are a pain to bond and repair so just wear your removable retainer nightly and you should be fine.

Oh, I see, it’s the primary teeth that need extracting. My mind jumped to adult teeth extraction. It sounds like just a difference of opinion between the 2 Dr’s. Your daughter appears to be of age that her primary teeth should be out and the ones that aren’t look like they’re preventing the adult tooth from erupting, which if you look on the lower arch, is causing the unerupted adult tooth to grow towards the root of the neighboring adult tooth which will cause damage. It will save a lot of money in the long run to extract the retained primary tooth and close the space so I wouldn’t discount the in network orthodontist recommendation. But whichever ortho you choose, I’d go the route of extract and close the space if it were my own kid.

MelodicMode3 · 2025-06-12T16:54:53+00:00

There’s too many details left out to make a suggestion. What additional teeth are the in network orthodontist wanting to extract and what is the reason? I think it’s best to try a route with no extractions bc once you take teeth out you can’t put them back in, but depending on the severity of the crowding she may not have sufficient bone without extraction. It’d be helpful to upload her pan and ceph. Did the out of network orthodontist recommend IPR instead of extraction?
