They are back.
Those little bright icons, that suddenly appeared on my car dashboard to alert me that something is wrong with my brakes have returned.
Damn you. *Fist shake*
The story began last week. I had a feeling that something would go wrong with the car, so I wasn't surprised when the ABS and brake light icons appeared on my dashboard. I was left with two options: drive my car and ignore the icons or get it checked out. After an emergency call to the dealership, I found myself talking to a technician who thought it might be nothing. Or it might be something. After killing time by stumbling across a step class at a nearby Goodlife, eating lunch at Kelseys, a quick shopping trip at Costco and a 30 minute wait in the service department's waiting room, I finally got an answer: a broken sensor. Car is safe to drive, the technician assured me, adding there is nothing wrong with the brakes. Damn, how much will a new sensor cost? I asked. Free, the answer. Covered by the warranty. Thank God, as my credit card couldn't stand any more financial abuse.
As mysteriously as they appeared, they disappeared about a day later. Weird. I've been driving the car around for the last week, without a warning icon in sight. But they reappeared this morning, mocking me. I have yet to hear from the dealership as to when they will be able to replace the sensor. So unless they disappear again, I guess the icons will be mocking me as I drive around town.
