Re: As of today, what's broken / not working in your car?

2013 Honda Amaze Diesel(95k KM done)

- The AC on-off switch does not work. Got it replaced twice, but its gone bad again. Have to turn the blower speed to zero to switch off the AC.

- There is no clicking sound whenever I put on the indicators. Honda ASS has no clue what's wrong. They just say "an entire assembly" costing around 35,000 has to be changed to resolve this issue. They will not say what's the name of this assembly. Have been living with this issue for about 40k or so KMs. The downside is, I have to remember to turn off the indicator after changing lanes, etc.

2017 Ignis 37k run: the front washer spray motor is not working. It failed an year back and I got it fixed. And now it has failed on me again.

Re: As of today, what's broken / not working in your car?

Manza MJD - one of the glow plugs broke and remains stuck in the engine. The check engine light LED is dead, so no matter what the check engine light never turns on. Needs a new set of tyres.

Active 2006 - FC Pending as the agent lost my RC card and DRC application was lost/misplaced by office people. It's a never-ending saga getting this sorted. Otherwise mechanically everything works as expected.

CT110 - fingers crossed, everything works fine.

Tata Aria. Is a permanent deserving member of this thread if there ever was one.

I bought it against the sage advice of senior members on here and it has fared exactly as they said.

Currently,
Alternator kaput
Power window switches
Seat fold and recline
AC condenser leak
Rear AC working just as blower

Re: As of today, what's broken / not working in your car?

Seems trivial but for me this has become a persistent case of bad luck. I drive a VW Polo 1.2 MPI Comfortline Petrol 2016 Dec Model. Been 5+ years of fuss free ownership !

As of today, I lost yet another wheel cap recently. Its an eyesore to see the car without that wheel cap.

Issue -- The wheel caps on Polo just don't fix tightly no matter how hard you press and lock. You need to secure them in place with a tag tied around for long highway drives and unanticipated bad roads. The caps come off very easily. Now whenever there is a puncture, the guys at the shop cut the tag off and don't have a new one to put back. They keep assuring me the wheel cap won't come off, however I don't listen to them and same day I get the tags from somewhere and put it around the wheel caps. On those odd days, when I delay in getting a tag because of other commitments or hospital hectic schedule, exactly that day the wheel cap has to fall off without my knowledge. Exactly that day !! A little delay and I have ended up losing 5 caps so far. A new one costs Rs 2822/- . Currently I have lost one more. This is the 6th new one I am gonna buy I have finally kept hell lot of tags in glove box that may come handy, before I purchase a new wheel cap shortly. Oh! something I should have done long back. Have already lost 15000 behind this trivial issue. Rest car is awesome !

Since you have spent so much on getting replacement wheel caps, why not invest a bit more and get alloys. Will solve this headache forever.

XUV5OO, 40K km as of today, the wheel cover keeps slipping out despite trying all known fixes, aftermarket wiper blades don't last long.

2011 WagonR, 92k run - No open issues. Anything which goes wrong is fixed immediately.

2019 Seltos, 43k run - No issues. Might need a new wiper arm at the next service as the RHS swipe isn't smooth.

Re: As of today, what's broken / not working in your car?

2010 Corolla Altis, oDo @ 125,000 kilometers.

1. The wipers are due for replacement for 3-4 years but haven't bothered to replace them.

2. There is a baby rattlesnake in the rear parcel tray which is a simple 20 minutes / 100/- fix but is pending since a long time.

3. The front left ball joint is gone, but since every other component is new, I have not bothered to replace it.

Re: As of today, what's broken / not working in your car?

In my car, thankfully nothing is broken that much. There is just this issue of fog on the edges of the windshield when AC is turned on, probably due to improperly refixing the dashboard after an ICE upgrade.

Also, a slight issue is there, the gear shift from 4th to 5th is rough, sometimes, when I try to shift to 5th, the lever gets a bit rough, and needs some force to put it to 5th, but very occasionally. I don't know how big of an issue it is, I think it's fine since there is no gearbox light on.
