The turn sigs are mounted to the plastic bumper, so unless you bumped into something I'd bet someone bumped into you without your knowledge... |

It's been that way since day 1 of me owning it. Must be from the previous owner. Gonna take some better pics of it today. Might be a safety issues having moisture in there. Wonder what it would cost to get fixed if I couldn't do it myself. |

When I had this issue with the blinker before I had it replaced at the dealer, they told me I could wait until summer to see if the moisture was gone. I believe this would have worked, but since I had it replaced under warranty and the fact that they let it go through a safety with moisture in it, was there fault so I'm not going to pass up free parts |

It's been this way since day one it came home with me. |

Gage did you check the carfax? It may have been in an accident. I'm assuming not because you wouldn't have bought it if you knew what kind of gas mileage it got |

I'd go and complain then just like I did, it worked. Figure they would rather have a happy customer than an angry one. |

Bought it at 35K, now 60K. I don't think they'd budge on that one. |

I believe they do, Cherrie. I'm more worried about that wheel arch now. |

I think I remember someone saying a while back that taking the wheel arch/fender whatever you wanna call it, isn't that hard. Guess I'll start researching that. |

Something looks tweaked. It's all plastic there so a rivet might have gone, or it might have had a small run in with the previous owner. Something stupid in a parking lot that was settled with cash. |

Something stupid in a parking lot that was settled with cash. I'm thinking something just needs to be pushed in. No obvious signs of damage. Dang previous owner! Time to start researching how to fix this. |
