Thousands of them failed suddenly.

My thoughts exactly. CDK will recoup this from the dealers and they will recoup it from customers.
Now we have 250K miles on a 2011 Sorento that, with regular oil changes and tire rotations, just keeps going.
Yes, I had this happen to me at a Nissan dealership. They were going to evaluate my car while I test drove a new car. When negotiations broke down, suddenly they couldn’t “find” my keys. They kept trying refocus my attention on the new car. When I kept demanding my keys back, the salesman got pissed and started…
Kia dealerships are still just buy-here-pay-here scam lots at heart. It’s a shame that Hyundai/Kia have improved their products so dramatically in the last 10 to 15 years, but are absolutely hogtied by their dealerships.
Ha! Jokes on you. I never bought (could afford) a new car!
At the independent service station across the street the owner was telling me tales of woe getting parts from various dealers. Hand written orders. Packing slips that sure seemed to come out of Excel. Everything taking forever. Seems bad.
Honest question — why does one give the dealership their car keys (for them to “lose”)? Is this for trade-in value inspection? If so, why wouldn’t you want to be monitoring their “inspection” to make sure nothing is rooked?
Now it’s $2,999
I could write an entire article on how to not be miserable buying a car, but I’ll sum it up here:
This will not affect the miserable experience in every Kia dealership, so their consistent track record can remain.
I swear, I never regretted buying our Sorento, but I have PTSD from the buying process. They tried some of the [almost] illegal tricks on us, including coming back from the test drive and not being able…
Maybe the $900 “processing fee” that every dealer tacks on to car purchases can be used to facilitate these more inconvenient registrations
It’s giving me big “Is this a real movie, or was that a fake movie trailer from SNL?” vibes.
Mattel is making Jimmy Buffet being taken away by dimorphodons instead of Katie McGrath being carried off by pteranodons?
Just realized if you take the “uck” out of “F—- Elon”, you get Felon.
Burton is one of those directors who never really seems to care if the script is good or not as long as he can get some cool images or setpieces out of them, and Batman is definitely one of those Burton movies where the sets or costumes make up for the pacing or writing.
The thing that always struck me, even watching it in the theater as a teenager, is that the first half hour is very good and then it just sort of gets baggy and shapeless until the big finale. It’s probably not a coincidence that 30 minutes is about when Nicholson falls into the vat and turns into the Joker. From that…
I feel like so much of Batman 89's success is owed to its marketing. The movie was not a surprise hit. It was a blockbuster by design. That summer every consumer item had a bat symbol on it. There was Batman breakfast cereal, Batman eau de toilette, Batman Taco Bell cups, Batman house slippers, Batman Underoos, and…
Absolutely gorgeous cluster...which also appears to be excruciatingly hard to read while actually driving the thing.
