big girl pants, Birchwood Toyota, car, frustration, locked, remote, Shadow, starter

trying to decide if I am just untrainable or whether Shadow is testing me…

  
these don’t look that difficult to work…

unfortunately they are proving very uncooperative for me… frustrating…

I had been back to Birchwood Toyota and someone walked me through the process and advised me how they should work… was told that I could use either one to open the doors… this was after the front door would not open at all the day after I brought her home…

twice today I started the car remotely, and then could not open the doors… only way I could get in was to turn it off, at which point the door locks worked perfectly…

sigh… I called and spoke with the guy at the dealership and he will check with the installers and give me a call back, likely tomorrow…

might have something to do with the valet key which my kids use… 

hoping the problem gets solved soon… starting to feel like a remote starter wasn’t such a great investment…

  

door…

beloved, big girl pants, door, key, remote, Shadow, starter

excited to see the deck covered in a fresh dusting of snow when I opened the back door this morning…

  
it always looks so beautiful when everything is white for that short period of time…

left work a bit early and drove to the edge of the city to take the car back to the dealership…

have been very impressed with their assistance since I purchased the car… 

on Sunday, when I was in a parking lot after shopping, the driver’s door wouldn’t open… at first I thought I was using the wrong button… now there is the key with the door open and close spots and the remote starter with open and close buttons…  

tried them all, many times, but nothing would open the driver’s door… eventually phoned my daughter who suggested I go in and open it from the other side… after that it seemed to work fine… of course the worry is that it might happen again…

called the next day and my sales guy suggested I bring it in so they could check it out…

he wasn’t there today, but the Sales Manager met with me and had a look… of course, everything worked perfectly… we also went over how the remote starter worked… I think I get it now, lol… he advised that I could use either of the buttons to open the door…

he gave me his direct phone number and email address and said if it happened again to call him personally and he would arrange for a rental car and they would test the car until it happened again so they knew what it was and could fix it…

they really do want everything to go well…

it was overcast all day and when I was walking back to the car Shadow really looked purple although the picture doesn’t show it quite as well…

  
thinking my beloved would be proud of me as I slip those big girl pants on more easily each day…
