Does EW post here anymore? I went back 2 pages and don't see a single post from him. I'm just trying to give the guy some rep love.

It's FRIDAY.
I sent a sternly-worded email to our claims adjuster regarding the '05 Camry... First, it smells funny. Not like sewer water, but it smells funny in any case, and it didn't used to smell funny. Then, there are the moldy, stinky seat belts that it didn't have prior to the flooding. Third, the gear shift doesn't want to come out of P when the car is warm (my wife has to use both hands) which didn't happen before. And finally, the last straw was yesterday I went to drive it and the ABS light flashes at startup, and goes solid after driving a few feet, then turns off - until you start the car again. Probably the wheel speed sensors, which, after all, were under a foot of water for an hour or so. I have a feeling they'll want us to take it to the shop for the gear shift/ABS but I'm going to keep pointing out the smell, which is a result of the previous "repair" (ozone) which couldn't have been very effective anyway since the seat belts are moldy. We want to sell the car, but instead of selling an old car with a good service history and 140K miles, I've got to sell an old car with a funny, strong odor, moldy seat belts, and mechanical/electrical issues. I could not in good conscience sell the car to someone without explaining it was in over a foot of water and may have hidden/future problems. The car needs to be totaled, and anything else is unacceptable. Yay. Oh and in case anyone forgot... $850 in labor/detailing and zero parts replaced. Last edited by Davey; 09-11-2015 at 07:33 AM. |
