Yea, alright we have different things going on then

I’m not vein enough to think anyone is actually invested in my situation but, as an update, I talked to a SA at the dealer and they said it definitely did not seem like a normal situation and that they want to take a look at it, including a foreman.

Hopefully they can at least top off my blinker fluid while I have it in there.

Ok, I went to the dealer. Drumroll please…..

The culprit was excessive assembly grease on the starter motor. They took off the starter, addressed the excess grease, and put it back together. One cup of dealer Starbucks and a car wash later, I’m home.

Actually I am .... We've had the car for a week. When the wife comes home and parks in the garage, I smell something. Not sure what it is, it's not real strong so I'm not too concerned at this point. TBD
