Itās not the stop/start. If you donāt drive for a while, the vehicle shuts down the remote interaction with the app to conserve battery. Everything will be available as normal when you go for a drive.
Edit: my response is based on the thread title.
In some conditions the stop/start wonāt work...
For sure! I'm suggesting it as a starting point to ensure one does not accept a extremely low offer from the dealer.
Important to remember that selling your car and buying a new one are in fact two transactions, so it's best to be very sure about what money is going where.
Tracking mpg is useful, as it can help you spot potential issues. However, I find it's easier to use something like fuelly vs a spreadsheet. You can enter notes and other info, plus see what mpg others have. And it's free :cool:
Looking forward to your report! We certainly had a great time earlier this year.
I like your dash seeming to tell you that if you hit 140 mph, BRAKE! š
Even in Phoenix, the humidity levels are above 0%, so over time you will have water absorbed into the fluid.
The brakes are a critical safety system, so for me doing the preventative maintenance on a regular schedule is worth the expense.
If you want to extend the flush interval, at least...
Brake fluid should be changed every few years regardless of miles. Itās hygroscopic, I,e. It absorbs water.
Itās no secret that dealers pad their profits with crazy service prices. Find a good independent shop and avoid the dealer unless you need a warranty or recall fix.
I would have someone check your tires and alignment. Iāve got 20k mile on my OEM Falkens, and last weekend I was in very heavy rain and did not experience any traction issues. Same with some light snow driving last winter.
If you put it there the car will be fun but youāll block your own view. Why not put up higher on the passenger side? Dash cams have a very wide view so it will capture everything.
