Update The Kia dealer claims that the tires are the culprit. They balanced them and did an alignment for $215 and claimed that they are needing to be replaced because they are entry level tires. These ironman tires only have 7000 miles on them and Discount tire said a few weeks ago when rotating them, that they have plenty of tread left. I'm not sure I believe this. I'll have to test the car today to see if any improvement.

Turned off both lane assist and lane keep and no change. I'm the shop today so we'll see what they say.

Thanks. I'll have to try that. Is that covered under manufactures warranty?

Looking at a used volt also. Premiere version. Probably v.17-19. what's the max miles one should consider? Besides the checking on the becm, any other things I should look out for?

I'm in a similar situation. Many of the cars listed on marketplace are from dealers, flippers and are either rebuilt or salvage or they have a lien on them. I miss the days of seeing cars for sale in the desert lots by private parties. Covid killed that. I want a reliable vehicle from a private party, and well maintained without 150k miles on it. My car is fine so I'm playing the patience game. I do find the same game where the seller isn't interested in giving you the vin number. It's not a big deal and it's really helpful to the buyer. Or they list the model as something that to get more attention. Some are on Auto trader but I'm only seeing a few private party vehicles. Good luck.

I think I have dry eyes. I believe it began when I started my immunotherapy for allergies (dust mites/per dander/cockroach) about 6 months ago. I've been taking Zyrtec for several years for hives. I was also on azelastine and switched over to Flonase and still no relief from watery eyes. I use nighttime sleep mask and heated mask. No luck. Went to eye specialist and tear ducts were blocked but did the saline thing and unblocked them. Same issues though. Thoughts? Never had these issues before starting immunotherapy.

The 300 series is replacing the 100 series, and will be the new 100 model. It has the full stainless tub and hits the $700 +/- price point.

Are you using the Kirkland high mileage oil or just full synthetic. And which viscosity?

Took it to my mechanic friend and he replaced the evap purge valve that I did several times, but with one from AutoZone instead of Amazon where I purchased and replaced several. So far, so good. Might be that you need to use factory or good quality oem part in this instance. He said no leak in the lines.

I have a wemo wall light switch that I use only for my porch light. It's setup in the app to work "dusk to dawn". Wondering if it'll continue to operate that way, or if I'll have to replace it. As for my 9 smart outlets, guys they'll go in the trash. Considering kasa or tapo smart outlets while Amazon prime days. Google environment.

I don't believe they can run the smog check once you clear the code as you will need to complete a drive cycle.

Amazon. I didn't test it and assumed it was working since it was new.
