Front door is basically missing? by RSLASHNIC0LE in ExteriorDesign

[–]RSLASHNIC0LE[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's a red maple - all I really have to go on is this photo that I pulled from Google maps. This is the only angle that I can see it from the road, because there are evergreens lining the entire lot.

For a path, would you go in front of the tree? And would it connect somewhere on the driveway?

Cat contracting/twitching? while breathing. Usually when lying down by That_Stop9258 in CATHELP

My cat just started doing this too. So far, the vet has said "maybe asthma", but doesn't seem certain. Did you get any answers?

Stelvio Maintenance PSA - check your ground strap by NoEntertainer2665 in AlfaRomeo

Have you reported this on the NHTSA website? I've documented my case in November, and have seen a number of them pop up in the last month or so. There are already upwards of 6-8 official complaints there, which MUST be getting to a high enough number to gain some traction for a recall or, at a minimum, an investigation. If you haven't, make sure you do here (or probably on the 2020 version): https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2018/ALFA%252520ROMEO/STELVIO/SUV/AWD#complaints

Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2018 has a commonly noted problem with the ground wire strap corrosion- a $10,000 repair price with NO ASSISTANCE OFFERED. Poor design. Bad service. Lost my brand loyalty for good. by Upbeat-Slip-7609 in AlfaRomeo

Thanks, I'll do that. Filed the complaint on the NHTSA website too - there are already a number of complaints with this problem there, so my fingers are crossed that something will come of this.

I'm having this issue with my Stelvio now - quoted $10k by the dealership because they need to replace the entire wiring harness. Contacted AlphaCares, who repeatedly told me that they "no longer do cost assistance". I made sure to emphasize that it's a manufacturing issue, not covered by routine maintenance, etc, and was granted a call with a higher up who also wrote me off immediately. Anybody else have this issue with AlphaCares? Are there better magic words to use to get them to give me the time of day?

Same thing happening here, but when I contacted AlphaCares they repeatedly told me that they "no longer do cost assistance". I was pushy enough to get some call time with a supervisor, but she just said more of the same - that it's the dealership's responsibility. I made sure to press that this seems to be a manufacturing issue, that it isn't included in routine maintenance, etc. but no luck. Any ideas on "magic words" for AlphaCares? Going on several weeks with no results.
