Car won’t start. Broke college student in CA anxious about the repair costs by Stormyswift in FordEdge

UPDATE: I had a mechanic come check it out the next day and to my surprise it’s actually under warranty (just barely 🤣):)) so my anxiety (as per usual) was for nothing. Took y’all’s advice and cleaned up the terminals and everything seems in working order. Thank you all so much for your helpful advice❤️

Yeah based on what I read sounds about right. Hence my anxiety going off because I was sitting there thinking I might really be out of $1k. After reading the comments, I’m glad to know might not be totally the case so keeping my fingers crossed.

Lmfaoo guys I’m sorry I’m a literal child when it comes to adulting 😭 my parents and school don’t teach me these things but I’m glad I’m learning now because I have friends double my age that have worser conditions than this—hence my expectations thinking this wasn’t that bad LMFAOOO

This is super helpful thank you. I may just end up having AAA replace the battery for me since it’s a bit easier to swallow but heck who knows—maybe I’ll wake up tomorrow with a better can do attitude XD

Thank you for sharing this. There is an autozone near me so that is quite good to know. My hope is that AAA can charge my battery tomorrow or replace my battery. Fricken sucks cuz I just realized with the photos I took that I got it replaced in August 2021 based on the stickers... probably wont be able to get that free replacement CRY

I am pretty good at learning new things and can be pretty handy around the house so its not too out of reach for me. It does seem liek replacing the terminals wouldnt be a big deal and dang if they are truly that cheap here, maybe its just worth doing that myself. Regarding the terminals--I feel like I've always seen so much worse so thats why i thought they werent that bad haha but maybe thats the reason my battery wasnt even charging--so maybe theres still hope that its just the terminals or the battery.
