My lil Blue Belle decided she wanted some extra attention. I brought her home Monday of last week. Almost immediately her factory installed alarm was going off in the driveway. The first night I saw my cat outside and thought maybe she had something to do with it. I brought her in the garage and shortly afterwards the alarm was going off again. So I disabled the motion alarm. {The little button inside that is used in case of leaving a dog or something in the vehicle.} The next night it was blaring again. I called the 800 number. I then pulled the H3 out of the garage for part of the evening and put the lil smartie inside. She wasn’t in the garage an hour when she started blaring again.
For those who have not yet heard the factory installed alarm it’s quite loud and has a high pitch. At this point there was no need to leave the H3 in the driveway all night. I played musical cars again and the H3 was back in the garage. As for my lil Blue Belle, I had to use the motion disabled switch yet again. With only a few days ownership she was back at the dealership for her alarm system. I dropped her off that morning and they gave me a courtesy shuttle ride home. That afternoon they picked me up and I drove her home.
It didn’t last long. Next thing I knew her alarm was going off again. I’m sure by now all my neighbors are well acquainted with what her alarm sounds like and they are promptly ignoring it. Fat lot of good it does if everyone ignores it now. So I call the Dallas smart center and make another appointment. Meanwhile I have to disarm the motion detection each time to avoid making the alarm go off sporadically.
Thursday is one of my days of the week I do volunteer work at the V.A. So I didn’t need her all day and scheduled my appointment for that day. Meanwhile I get a call from Allison. She wanted to know what happened with the alarm. She has another customer with the same issue. I advise her to talk with Steve in service since Blue Belle was visiting again. The 2nd trip was a bit more detailed though as they kept her overnight. So surprise to me! I had to find someone to give me a ride home to Arlington from the VA in Dallas.
The next afternoon they send the courtesy shuttle to pick me up. I get to the dealership and my lil Blue Belle isn’t quite ready yet. So I go visit the sales gals. One is missing and no longer with the company. Amber inquires about the alarm situation. Now Amber had a customer call that morning with the same issue. So now I’m certainly not the only one. I was just the first one. Though the other customer that Allison had with the alarm situation and the customer Amber has with the alarm situation could both be different issues that just happen to involve the alarm.
As of tonight, so far so good. She spent the whole night in the driveway without as much as a single lil peep, meep or beep. No noises so far tonight either. I didn’t understand the explanation that was offered as far as the repair. It didn’t much matter as long as she quit her unnecessary squawking. Sure makes me thankful I’m not too terribly far from a local dealership.
On a side note: One of the people working there mentioned that there might be the possibility of dealerships opening in Shreveport and Fort Worth at some point in the future.
