Hi,
I am new here, I have been desperately searching the web for more info on my new car, a 2007 Solara Convertible. I needed a bigger car since I had another baby, and my 2005 Mustang convertible just wasn't working. It was fine when it was just my 4 yr old son, he didn't need that much room and was in a booster, but the carseat was a huge problem. Anyways, the Solara seemed to be a great solution for me since I was unwilling to give up the convertible feature, and it has TONS of room with a huge truck.
Well since buying it two months ago it seems to have several quirks. First there is a funny thumping noise that seems to come from the trunk, it's hard to back up and see with the rear headrests and my 5'4" frame. But the biggest problem is that a few times I have turned the car off and gotten out and felt a slight shock when putting my hand on the door for support. The first few times I wrote it off to being my imagination or some quirk from sliding my feet on the carpet or something. But today it happened again and there was a definite, and painful electric shock, to the point where my hand still hurts. I called the dealer and they acted like I was crazy.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I've read here that the thumping noises and backing up issues are problems for everyone but I didn't see anything about being shocks. Let me know! Thanks!
