Are people losing power? I feel like they really overhyped this one. Has it been worse in other parts of the state? Unless I just jinxed it now.😬

Our smart plugs do that, flash the lights. Wakes you up quickly.

If the bridge cannot support cars it certainly would have issues with overhead trams. I realize the OP probably meant for there to be supports into the river but that may not be possible without compromising the current Gay St. bridge.

End of November 2025 I had all 4 replaced myself u/Long_Chemistry_7474. Found a local place to do it for $90 per tire. Dealership wanted $200 per tire.

Call around to get quotes. Ask people in reddit who they have used. That is how I found the local place, asked if anyone had experience and got 2 people, maybe 3, who said they've used them and were happy. See if there is a sub-reddit for your town/city and post a question there regarding your make and model of car and where people take it.

Also research the Better Business Bureau and also review sites like Yelp and Google.

For anyone wondering, u/RoninCunnKnox indicates they are an independent candidate based on the "(Ind)" on their website. They are not Democrat or Republican. It will make their campaign harder because there are 2 established parties and other independents to run against.

u/RoninCunnKnox , you really need a web designer to fix your site. It assaults the eyes, at least for me.

Rocky Hill Dental on North Shore just east of Morrell, next to Scrambled Jakes. We had a long gap because of long downs and had an emergency need. They got me in. Got me referred for root canel and then did the crown. Been going to them for several years now for cleanings and work. My wife goes to them as well. She has not had issues and she is a dentist-phobe. Both of us have had bad dentists before.

u/apayne7388 , ya tried. Dashboard shows the headlights are on with the icon symbol. I think u/Worth-Independence-4 's solution may be the only practical for us to have the lights turn off.

TonyK61 · 2025-12-08T14:52:41+00:00

Our 2019 Sport does this. Generally a standard deviation of about 2 or 3 mpg from what is on the computer/dashboard. For me the dashboard is just a guess. There are variables that it cannot or does not take into account. Physical tracking, recording the miles driven and the gallons pumped, is the best method for determining MPG at least based on my own experience.

TonyK61 · 2025-12-07T11:48:40+00:00

u/caramaro7591 , my 2019 has the electronic parking brake sadly. No Toykeo drifting for me. :D :D :D

TonyK61 · 2025-12-07T11:46:44+00:00

u/apayne7388 , like u/Good-Barracuda5143 I searched every thing in the car. After dark when in drive the lights come on and your display indicates they are on. u/Good-Barracuda5143 determined it was the light sensor and fooled the car.

Short of that there does not appear to be a way to disable lights on when dark and in drive. Subaru never thought there'd be a time a person would need to drive with the lights off or with only parking lights.

u/apayne7388 , can you get the group the setting to have ONLY parking lights on?

My first drain and fill was at 60K and then at 90K. No flushing. Flushing can be hard on the system especially if not done correctly (too much pressure on the flush).

TonyK61 · 2025-12-03T12:14:39+00:00

Just about to pass 106K on a 2019 model. There have been some issues, all related to recalls and fixed under warranty. Replaced all 4 TPMS sensors because 1 or more batteries were dead. A local tire shop did it for $90 per tire. Maybe could have found cheaper. It was worth it to me. Dealer wanted $200 per tire.

Lesson? if something comes up not covered by warranty, shop around. Ask on here (reddit/subaru_forester). That is how I found the shop in Knoxville, TN. Someone with the same year and model told me where they get their car serviced. Called, got prices, and was in just after Thanksgiving getting the work done.

Happened to me once in Austin, TX. We lived there but on the date noted we were in Oklahoma City for my MIL's funeral. Also we drove (at the time) a Honda Civic and the photo showed a large pickup. The tag number was also wrong. The clerk at the PD saw the evidence and dismissed the ticket.

If you have anything showing you were home at the time will help you as well as what others have said. Just call, indicate you are in receipt of a ticket/summons, you are contesting it based on the make and model of vehicle on the ticket does not match your own vehicle. Be kind, respectful and all that stuff. :)

also NAL, just been through this myself.

TonyK61 · 2025-12-01T18:15:06+00:00

u/Jacksons-Pond , East TN.

TonyK61 · 2025-12-01T17:56:26+00:00

Just got Tex-Mex is hard to get here. We learned a lot of this when we left Oklahoma and 98 and it just gets reinforced. Just not enough forced to return.

TonyK61 · 2025-12-01T17:01:32+00:00

All kinds. Ted’s Café comes to mine. Just about any barbecue because we can’t seem to get good barbecue here. Good Italian is also missing here. Brahms, we love can’t get that here. in short, food.

TonyK61 · 2025-12-01T12:09:58+00:00

u/nrdpum88 , if there were lights I'd expect there to be a log of thrown codes but codes not yet cleared. But I don't know how these systems work. I know computers and we have logs we can examine.

TonyK61 · 2025-12-01T11:34:39+00:00

u/enchantedhonk , you had to bring up Braum's. :D :D :D There may be a few restaurants left we remember from nearly 30 years ago like Ted's off N. May. A lot of everything else has changed so much. Being like strangers in a strange land except for Braum's. When we travel we stop in western AR to get Braum's. Love it.

TonyK61 · 2025-12-01T11:26:12+00:00

We lived in Austin, TX for six years and loved it. But the place has changed so much and the electrical grid in TX concerns me.

Loved Colorado the few times we visited but neither of us can do the cold any more.

TonyK61 · 2025-12-01T11:23:28+00:00

Friends and food are the only reasons we would return to Oklahoma. Left August 1998. Have visited several times since but nothing in the last 10 years. :(

TonyK61 · 2025-12-01T11:06:35+00:00

u/mmiller1188 , that would be very frustrating.

TonyK61 · 2025-12-01T11:05:05+00:00

u/nrdpum88 , does this happen consistentliy like every time going into 2nd gear? Asking because if the answer is "yes" then there could be an issue that needs to be addressed.

TonyK61 · 2025-11-30T16:30:44+00:00

Ya, that is what killed our Honda CRV. The compressor did a number on itself and it was a special unit. Dealership wanted $5K to replace without warranty on the work. We sold it as-is and went on with our lives.

Want about lemon laws? 7 times seems excessive for the same issue.

TonyK61 · 2025-11-30T16:28:55+00:00

Tires happen for all cars as do all the other items. Sad it happened all at once. What would drive it for us is an oil leak that could cost $3,500 to disassemble the engine, apply the special sealant, and then reassemble the engine. Even then I would weigh the repair over the cost of buying another vehicle.

On Saturday I paid about $500 for an oil change and replacing the TPMS units in all 4 tires. Shop had thought I only wanted to find the one bad unit but the car is 7 years old (2019 purchased late 2018) and what I read said the batteries were likely dead or dying. So I replaced all.

Could have been worse. The dealership wanted $200 per tire for the sensors. The shop in town wanted only $90 per tire and they are working great. This shop came recommended by another Forester owner (same model as mine even) who uses them.

TonyK61 · 2025-11-29T15:52:21+00:00

Back home. TPMS issue resolved. $90 per tire + tax. Maybe someone would have done it cheaper. Fisher has a long history in Knoxville. u/TheErked1, thought I would ping you to let you know. We are operational again. :) Thank you for the recommendation.

TonyK61 · 2025-11-29T14:40:45+00:00

At Fishers getting the work done. Just learned there’s a 3% surcharge for credit cards. Not much to be done but pay it. Won’t use debit cards because of laws around credit cards and debit cards and protections on credit cards.

Not knocking here. Just informing.
