    My 2018 Honda Accord has been a nightmare, and I stubbornly refuse to replace it until it’s 10 years old. I half-wonder if the quality has already started to go downhill.

    From the factory, the air conditioner dumped all of its condensation onto the passenger-seat floorboards. Since then, I’ve had to get the AC unit replaced twice.

    EVERYTHING rattles in that car – the seatbelt mounts, the visors, all kinds of stuff inside the front console (maybe inside the ventilation system?), the front defroster bezel, and the trim around the back window. It drives me absolutely bonkers.

    I’d actually been hoping Nissan would get their shit together in regards to their CVT transmissions… because my favorite car over the years was my 2003 Nissan Maxima.

    …I guess I should see what Mazda has to offer…

    I’m just thinking something as simple as the app triggering an event that unlatches a compartment that corresponds to that specific time. “It’s 12:00. Open the compartment with all the 12:00 meds.” You’d probably have to include multi-day support, too (I fill dad’s meds a month at a time in this - https://a.co/d/cRw0e93 )

    That same event could do things like trigger a visual or audio alarm, too.

    My goal would be to make it as hands-off as possible for him. He already finds ways to “cheat” the daily dispensers he has now.

    EDIT: Look up Pyxis or Omnicell Dispensers for examples of unlatching compartments. We use these pretty extensively in hospitals.

    EDIT 2: Here’s a good example (starting around 2:00) showing how the individual compartments unlatch: https://youtu.be/bPJSbexZNC4?t=120
