Frustration

Grrrrr. I drove my car without incident to Curves this morning, but when I got in it to leave, it was absolutely dead. No click, no dash lights, NOTHING. My remote key click got me in the car, but then it wouldn't work at all. I called my insurance. I don't have roadside assistance, but they could get me a quote on how much it would be to add it. No thanks. They did look up the # for the local Toyota place, & I called them. They switched me around to a couple of places, & ended up giving me yet another # for Toyota's roadside assistance. I should be covered under the "3 year, 36K miles" as my car is less than 2 years old & has just under 15K miles on it. I called that one, & they had some totally random phone # on file as mine, PLUS I was told I didn't have roadside assistance under that one. I repeated what the Toyota people told me, & was asked if that was under Toyota or Gulf. Gulf?!? I told her I had no idea what that was, & she put me on hold to check it out. A guy pulled up next to me & I asked if he had jumper cables. No, but he found a woman who did & we popped my hood to attach the cables. I ended the holding call & the good Samaritan found my battery cable was loose, & that was the only problem. He tightened it, I started it, & drove away. The last # I called rang back & said, Ooops, sorry, I AM covered under the warranty, & she was ready to send a tow truck. I told her I didn't need one now as I had gotten help from a local. It was a wasted hour, & just the most recent in a long line of things that go wrong with my car. Its color is apparently a magnet for others to hit--it's been backed into 3 different times, & a guy plowed into it while it was parked in front of my house. The radio volume quits working at random times, & when I filled it last, the low fuel light didn't go off nor did the guage move to show it was full. Also, when I tried to open the hood time before today, the plastic panel pulled loose & I can't get it back in. Just little nit-picky things, but I will never buy another Toyota. And I haven't even had the acceleration problem it's been recalled for! But it's paid off so I don't have that payment anymore. Ugh. I just wish it was reliable.
