I WISH...

Yeah well the damn thing is bipolar. One or two days it works just fine and then *bam* I get smacked on the head or it's like the jaws of life closing in on my midsection.

It's become a battle of wills and I sort of relate to its unpredictable temperament. It's a challenge every day; me against the hatchback. Wasn't there a movie years ago called "The Car"? Yeah...me against my psychotic car. I just tell the kids to stand back now while the car and I sort things out.

It. Is. Not. Normal.

Dammit. Get it fixed! LOL

Could be an electrical issue. could be mice chewed some wires, could be a key fob issue even. If I had your make, year and model I could research it (If the bandwidth would allow) I was trying to look some stuff up yesterday and it was pretty slow, so I gave up. I like these kind of challenges though.

I worked in a shop prior to where I am at now. We had a customer vehicle whose doors would open on their own. Turned out to be a common problem with her vehicle-even took it back to the dealership for a recall and a fix.

Alright, alright!! Some people call them struts or pistons but SUPPOSEDLY it's a fairly easy DIY job and they can be bought for $50 ea (a little more or less). I guess it's a good thing I've let the damn thing land on my head or otherwise beat the crap out of me. One guy just stood back and watched and when his hatchback decided to slam shut, it shattered the rear glass.

I'll have to do a pelvic hatchback exam and see if I see the supposed "easy clips" that make changing them out a "piece of cake" as one person put it.

One idiot tried to use the motor to open his with like 5 feet of snow on it. SURPRISE! It broke. Dummy.

Thank you for inspiring me, Lovely, clumsy, Child.

I'm still pondering the "retard" remarks, mountain ho'.
