Well, I took it to the dealer and they want to keep it overnight, they have no idea what's going on and they can't replicate it. They supposedly can't give me a loaner because I'm 19, so I got no ride to college and work tomorrow which is ridiculous.

Thought buying a newer car would've kept this from happening, but guess not.

They still do this?

I'm 22 and was never allowed a loaner/rental even when I was in an accident (not at my fault) and my car was being repaired under insurance. Rental had to be in my mom's name and I just drove it illegally. ​

I was gonna say same thing if car was Co-Signed for. At least U Haul had a Youthful drivers fee to get you on the road. Enterprise as well and they waived it if you reserved on base.

The dealer replaced the water pump. 32k miles and it's already leaking. Unbelievable.

They're thinking that was part of the rattle maybe?

Not a happy camper.

Dad is blaming the water pump failure on the remote start and me using it all the time. I think he's wrong...but replies are welcomed so I can prove it.

Nope, it's nature and I think I'm about to go in for #3 soon. No remote starts on my manual and I was barely on a tune when the 1st one went.

Regardless of brand vehicle, regardless of rental company, all the insurance carriers follow the same guidelines.

I too think it is rather silly.....the insurance company has no problem insuring folks age 16 on up but the same outfits put age requirements on rentals/loaners.

My take would be along the lines of, 'If you have full coverage on your car, there should be no concern about age'......

However, my opinion and $.25 cents still won't buy a cup of coffee.

Not sure as they have Youth full drivers fees when I did it. Enterpise on base literally waives them and these are literaly out of highschool and boot camp teens away from home for the 1st time in a strange city usually. <---Still can't drink till 21 tho.
