Thank God for You All!
And I mean it. Last week, I was about to scream when I couldn't get my center console box to open. I was happy to read-up on this not being a lone ranger event. Despite having read nearly every article about the air-actuated lock, and holding down the central lock button, and touching my nose while drinking a glass of milk while standing on my head..
Nothing worked. Then for some reason, I opened my glove box, which wasn't locked because I was in my garage and while it was open, tried my center box and it flew right open. I would chalk it up to coincidence, but I've been watching NCIS and Gibbs believes there is no such thing.... Anyway, since I don't want to F* it up further, I'm just going to hope it never happens again and always put my work ID badge in the glove box that I can TRUST. (The central button, while giving a noise for the other locks when activated made no sound that would've led me to believe it even works on the center box).
Now, I've been having problems with the incessant STINK that comes from A/C usage, but am happy to have learned that I need a new charcoal cabin filter and have tracked down a FRAM CF8770A Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter on Amazon (for $25.11).
NOW.. before the praise goes to anyone's head. I do have a serious problem that needs help.
When driving at a low speed, Broomstick 2.0, suffers from a hideous metal clanking sound. It's been inspected in the shop twice and nothing was found. The service rep thought it might be something loose within the wheel rim and did some securing of some sort, but I wasn't convinced, and I heard it within 10 feet of driving out (after dumping $40 on nothing, obviously). Has anyone else experienced something like this? The rep says that everything is connected/secure/safe underneath, but it sounds like I'm driving an honest to god clunker. The sound is somewhat random, has no rhythm and only occurs when I'm driving slow (like a fast food drive through, or a parking lot).
If you can direct me toward something to try/look at, or tell the mechanic, I'd sure appreciate. The Crossfire is a head turner, but mine's turning heads for the WRONG reason!
Your help is appreciated since I'm obviously a little frustrated by the ordeal.
