If forgetting to charge my work phone counts, once a month or so lol.
My most common? About once a month my phone and my car stop talking correctly. Full shutdown/restart of the phone tends to clear the issue.
Happens with my parent's Nissan Rogue and BT. After leaving the car, suddenly messages they send don't get to the recipient. Requires a phone restart.
Sorry, you are out of washer fluid. Please install factory certified washer fluid cartridge to continue your trip.
The way in-car entertainment systems are going, you may get your wish in a The Wishmaster way.
Ah, I see you’ve heard stories from BMW drivers.
Must be a German thing. I made the mistake of using the orange wiper fluid instead of the blue stuff in my VW, and it now always reports as out of fluid. This is apparently a known thing with an "easy" remedy, but it requires removing the entire front bumper assembly to access.
Ask a question in the Lounge and you'll get the answer you probably didn't want.
The orange one, specifically the rain-x blend, destroys washer fluid sensors used in most German cars. I think it's a standard Bosch part so it's no good either on French / other European cars.
My phone started rebooting while charging about a year ago. I've googled my fingers to the bone and have no clue why. But about 5 minutes after plugging it in, no matter how full/mt the battery is, the phone will reboot.
That would be tremendously irritating. I'm a big convert to ACC, but ours is clever enough to not jam on the brakes when someone going faster than you are pulls right in front of you, but not so clever as to be stupid like the above. We have a button for km/mi and it won't change anything on its own. To be honest, I've found the Mazda to be in exactly the right place in terms of obtrusiveness. It gives you a nudge for lanekeeping and braking, but it won't actually take action unless it thinks things are about to go very, very wrong.
Haha, recently I was at dinner with some friends and they got a call from their son because the power went out. "You set the generator up to run the Ring camera but left MY room go dark!?"
We have 4 powerwalls powering the Foolery family compound, but even Beeba (who will become a legal adult at the end of next month, time flies) knows that the setup is to allow us to gracefully shut down servers and workstations, including his. We could have set it up so only certain circuits work during an outage, but the current (one should always intend one's puns) breaker boxes in the main house are a spaghetti of DIY dumbfuckery and lax (at the time) electrical code. While I intend to fix this issue, it involves shutting down power to the main house, removing the existing breaker boxes, installing a (single) new one, and installing new breakers to account for those that are "doubled up."
