Quirks I live with

Good one, tallyho

Occasionally and randomly my car beeps at me and flashes a "Gearbox Overheated" message in the status window on the dash. Dealer looked at it for four hours straight couldn't find anything wrong then suggested I replace the entire computer system to the tune of $4000.00. I live with the quirk. 7

Sears pressure washer with a 3.8 HP B&S engine - won't start unless you keep the trigger on the wand squeezed open while pulling the starter cord. Didn't used to do it.

Clean out the un-loader/relief valve. You are asking the engine to work against a lot of pressure. and if the valve gets corroded, it will be hard to start, unless you unload the pressure.

A van down by the river with a walkout basement door? :laughing:

Yeah...we all got'em here...due to the slope.....you know....down to the river.

I have a new gremlin, just moved into the Jeep Grand Cherokee. If you use the electrical positioning for the right mirror, the whole electrical shibank goes off.

One second you are changing the angle of the mirror and the next second there is no rolling down windows or using remote car key. The fix is to wiggle the right mirror by hand.

What year is your Grand cherokee? my 2004 had a couple of broken wires in the rubber boot between door and body. Known common problem. No mirror issues, but interior lamp and window problems.


As far as quirks go, my whole life is full of them, don't even think about it just learn to deal with it.

That's one reason we don't have to worry about ROBOTS taking over yet, Can't teach jiggling a toilet handle to a DOID.

Yeah, 2004, I already replaced some of the wires in the door connection.

I can't believe they haven't fixed that problem yet! I have a 1993 Grand Cherokee that had broken rubber boot wires.
