If it doesn't have a torque convertor, it's not a slushbox.

That's great that they're covering your transmission. Huge nuisance, but definitely nice. After my brother's Fusion engine grenaded itself (dealership shop double-gasketed the oil filter), he got them to cover a rental also, but that was tech/shop fault, kinda doubt they'll give you a loaner for a recall. Still, it's encouraging that they say they replace them often, just means they have the routine down.

He won't get a loaner for a recall, but if the transmission is being covered by warranty work he should. I got one when my Focus' fuel pump died at like 10k miles (this was in 2002). Granted, it was a brand new Suzuki Aerio which remains the shittiest car I have ever driven.

I am still waiting for my recall repair for the airbag. Last I heard it was 3rd quarter 2016 for it. Oh and my battery ended up getting replaced. After doing all the cleaning and getting it working again, for the past week its been very hard to start. Took it in and warranty replaced it. Wonder if this battery will get huge corrosion issues as well.

If you're worried about it, get some of that silicone paint or liquid electrical tape (swear I stocked this poo poo once when I worked at home depot) and put a coat on the terminals.

I have terminal protector stuff now. I put it on after I cleaned up the first battery but it was already hosed by that point.

I didn't get a loaner which sucks but I have an excuse to work from home tomorrow  ' Despite this, I'd still recommend a Focus. Love that sweet, sweet 37 highway MPG.

Very few dealers run a loaner program, insurance reasons I think. Unless you're in a higher tier car. When I had my impala, my service contract covered a rental . My Subaru, friggin sucks to be you; but we have a courtesy shuttle that runs for three hours.

Yeah when I got backed into and my bumper got hosed up I had a loaner for the week it was in the shop, it just never occurred to me to call for one when I drove the car to the dealership myself.

I just bought a 2016 MX-5, a 20,000 dollar car, and i can and am going to get a free loaner when they have to fix the ABS system, because it took a massive poo poo today with only 1100 miles on the clock. It may not be a great loaner, probably like a base model Mazda 3 or whatever, but it will be brand new and i wont pay anything.

Michigan is terrible and a no-fault state, correct? Which means even if an accident is your fault, your insurance pays for your car. I mean, Michigan sucks for a lot of reasons, the no-fault insurance poo poo is just a bonus. E: it's basically liability that won't pay for vehicle damages unless it meets specifc circumstances.

No-Fault only refers to your own medical bills which your carrier pays for regardless of who is at fault for the accident.

No-fault sucks and insurance is expensive as hell. I pay $160 a month for full coverage and a $1000 deductible which seems high compared to other places I've insured a car with comparable coverage. As usual USAA is pretty cool because every time I've been in a wreck they've waived the deductible because I wasn't at fault.

My mom fell down the stairs and broke her neck. Lived, not paralyzed. She's only sixty but having increasing problems with illness and mobility and is in and out of the hospital for a few years now. This is kind of the last straw and I'm going to start looking at nurses or in home care a few times a week. Grown rear end woman was a hard drinker for a long time and her body is paying for it now, and I don't think her husband is really doing anything aside from shuttling her to the doctor.

Holy poo poo. Glad she's ok. My mom's closing in on 60 and I figure in the next couple of years she'll be looking to move into a smaller, single-story home. The current split-level was great when there was a family of four plus pets, but now it's just her, a small shiba mix, a 20 year old cat, and gradually another cat with a hosed-up eye that was abandoned by neighbors when they moved a few months ago.

My wife and I take care of an elderly couple and the best thing they ever did was move out of their home of 40 years and into a retirement village. They don't have to worry about killing themselves on the stairs or getting stuck on the toilet for hours because there is no hand rail to help them up.

They're in the process of moving into a smaller home for retirement down in the Carolinas. She's freshly out of the hospital and trying to move stuff from the second floor to the first and trips over the cat. It's not that I don't trust my stepfather, but he still works and I think it would be good to get another set of eyes on her a few times a week to take care of some tasks around the house and make sure she doesn't do anything dumb. Like I said her lifestyle has taken a toll and my sister passing last year hit her really hard. I've mentally prepared for getting that call a little earlier than expected, but meanwhile I feel the need to do something for her quality of life since I don't live around the corner anymore.

I'm sorry to hear that man. I don't think I'm ready for my parents being old. My mom has a history of alzheimer's and dementia on her side of the family and every time she forgets something or acts confused my stress spikes because I have to determine if it's just normal aging or something more sinister. My relationship with my folks is the best it has ever been, I'm not ready for this

Alzheimers is the god drat worst. Years on an ambulance so I saw some poo poo and it didn't bother me, even the periodic mental reviews of mortality and thinking "that could be me" weren't bad when it was physical stuff like losing a leg or something. Like, sure it would really suck and all but I would still be ME to deal with the suck. Five minutes in an Alzheimers ward and I would be skeeved the gently caress out for DAYS. I can seriously not get one patient out of my head because as we're bundling her up for transport she asks me who I am and I answer her, then she asks the woman next to me and the answer was the most depressed, mechanical "I'm your daughter mom".

My parents are saints for dealing with my dementia--afflicted grandmother for 5 years before sending her to a home specializing in care for dementia/Alzheimer's. Then like six months later, they turn around and let my cousin stay while he's on probation waiting for a court date after a year in prison. And they took me in when I got out six months after that. I'm really scared for my mom, since it's her mother that has the dementia. Hopefully it's a good long while before I have to start worrying about her too.

My mom has a slew of health problems and takes like 47 pills every day, usually taking the stuff that makes her feel stoned beyond what the prescription calls for. And somehow she never managed to miss a refill. She's probably still got 15-20 years unless her health problems just start deteriorating rapidly. every now and then i think I may be being optimistic with my 15-20 year guess and I get that lovely feeling that I might have to bury her soon. My dad died when he was 55. He died of respiratory heart failure while driving home from work at like 3am. Never knew him so it didn't bother me much.

So the people whose dog bit me three weeks and change back have their insurance company calling me to get my end of the story. I'm pretty well healed from it, no infections and only a few small scars. Never got medical treatment, so no hospital bills to pay. Worst possibility now is rabies, because it takes so long to show up, but I'm thinking it won't be an issue. I had almost let go of the idea entirely that I would hear back. I had limited contact info, didn't have the dog license number or even name. I figured if I got an infection, I'd be getting a lawyer and we'd be having a good ol' time at the courthouse. Now that their insurance is calling me, I'm half-tempted to still get a lawyer and let him have fun with them. I really don't give a poo poo about a settlement. My hand was hosed up for about a week before it was fully useful again, after the swelling and bleeding (that didn't clot for four days of seeping). I probably should have had stitches, but gently caress it. I'm basically going to wait and see if they offer anything (doubt it), but if they do, I'll refill my first aid kit and sign the rest over to a shelter or the humane society or something. If not, and it gets accusatory, I'll lawyer up and let him have fun. Stupid loving irresponsible pet owners.
