I like my Toyota Rav-4. It’s been a reliable car, and almost no trouble. But there are some things about it that annoy me, like the tire pressure sensors. Those things are notoriously unreliable. I want to turn them off, but there’s no way to do that. <\/p>\n
Or how about the “I will lock your doors when I think they need to be locked” function? I want to turn that off. I will lock the doors when I want to lock the doors. <\/p>\n
Or the “your headlights will stay on after you turn off the car” function? Again, I will turn them on when I want them on, and off when I want them off. <\/p>\n
Other people might like these “features.” Fine. They can have them. But why do I have to be cursed with them? <\/p>\n
I can drill into my phone and turn (most) annoying settings off. But I can’t do that with my car. Why not? <\/p>\n
I imagine Toyota would say something like “we’re doing this for your safety,” to which I say “go soak your head.” Seat belts are for safety. Locking my doors when I didn’t ask you to is just annoying. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
