My mom has had some bad car...luck? Anyway after totaling her husbands Hyundai Tucson and causing 5 digit damage to her CX-5 !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! they were in need of some transportation. They got a rental, a 2019 Jeep compass (its always a compass isn’t it?)

I just fielded a call from her: She’s 3 hours away at the lake and it wont start. “Engine not ready” the display center says. What kind of garbage is this? Engine not ready?! WELL GET READY! They fiddled for about 20 minutes and finally got it to start. Not a battery issue , I guess its an auto stop/start keyless entry system issue. FCA has a re-flash on this issue but (shocked face) the rental agency hasn’t had it done yet.

They were looking at a Renegade trailhawk to replace the Tucson...they aren’t anymore.

Sometimes it’s a Patriot  but it can be hard to tell the difference

Five digit damage? They should just total the CX-5. That damage looked BAD.

I would love to blame FCA

But we've seen your mom's handy work.

I’ve been meaning to write a rental car faceoff story. We were recently in a Cherokee Trailhawk. We returned it after one day due to electrical issues.

“ Why do you hate new cars?” they ask... “Why don’t you but something ‘nice’ (new) instead of always driving old cars?”

This. This is why. F**k new cars with a jagged, rusty spork.

yeah and it had already been in 2 rear end collisions and one up front (ripped off a fender) . it’s 2 years old! granted the other 2 rear enders were not her fault.

RIP resale value. My RAV4 is in great shape mechanically and it was repaired well, but the fact it’s been in two major accidents won’t be good for its value.
