The last time I had my car serviced, the oil light had come on well before the recommended time between changes had elapsed. The technicians checked things out, but my adviser suggested I return in 1200 miles for a second look. After driving to the beach for Thanksgiving and Buffalo for Christmas, it was time to take the car back today. The dealership was deserted when I pulled into the bay at 8 a.m., but the crew was as friendly and helpful as ever.
While they were checking me in, I mentioned that the eyesight feature that assists with cruise control and collision avoidance has been cutting on and off a bit more than usual. "I know it can be affected by glare or ice or road salt," I shrugged, "but it seems like something is off."
The advisor looked through the driver's side door at my windshield. "Could it be your EZ Pass?" she asked.
"That's been there for years," I answered. "Probably not."
She went around to the front of the car. "There's a huge blob of what looks like bird poop," she pointed. "Right in front of the camera."
I frowned. "It's been through the car wash a lot," I told her. But then I laughed. "Because the crows have been pooping on it regularly! They probably hit that spot all the time."
"That could definitely interfere with the camera function," she nodded. "I'll check with tech, and we'll make sure you get your free carwash!"
