Broken Items

So this past week has been a week of misfortune.

My car has been having troubles and hasn't been running for at least a couple of weeks now. Carlos and I are in the process of trying to figure out what's wrong with it. So... We have been carpooling in his car. Now the steering wheel in his car decided to fall off yesterday. After he re-afixed the steering wheel the turning signals decided that they didn't want to work anymore. So that's our car situation.

We bought a brand new refrigerator a year ago because the freezer in our old refrigerator stopped working. Well, after a few months with our brand new refrigerator, it stopped freezing things as well. Instead of providing us with a replacement, the company insisted on having it repaired, but they needed to take it to their "shop" to repair it. After a couple of weeks or so we finally got our refrigerator back in working order. Now, as of this week, the freezer stopped working once more! Ugh! It is especially frustrating because our 1-year warranty has run out, and we are thinking that they will no longer repair it for free (even though this problem first began only after a couple of months or so after the purchase).
Each time our freezer has quit working we had been storing food in our friend's freezer (who is also our neighbor). However, he is now preparing to move to the UAE. So... hopefully this freezer issue can be resolved quickly and without too much loss of food.

For now... we'll just be cruising around in a car with a loose steering wheel and no turning signals.

OMG! This all sounds terrible. Someday remind who the refrigerator company is, I don't ever want one of their products. Hope one of you get your car up and running soon. Running around town with an ill car is unsafe as well as frustrating on the owner. Good Luck on all of it.

Seriously, what a pain in the bum. The warranty company should fix the problem even though the time has run out because you have a documented problem with the freezer. Good luck!

Thanks you guys. The refrigerator is working again for now, but the service repairman says that it may have a slow leak, so it may take up to a year before enough leaks to cause it to "break down" again. No luck on the cars yet...

Mom: It's a Frigidaire.
