Last night a car pulled out of a parking spot in front of me and the protuberance block my foot from applying the brakes. This has ha

On 1/14/2024, I discovered the app was referencing the 12-volt battery, as the car's power mirrors and locks did not function. I needed the car to get to a relative's hou
