While the car definitely broke down, the suggestion that it was caused by the car wash is pretty disingenuous. Many cars have a "Car wash mode", which ensure that the automatic wipers do not turn on and that the windows stay up. It can also allow the car to be moved slowly through an automated machine I think. Either the author didn't know this, and should try driving a car built in the past 5 years, or they did know and were just chasing clicks. Either way, lazy journalism.

- op00to 2y agoNone of the “car wash mode” actions you mention would leave a car totally immobile.
- shaneos 2y agoPrecisely, I agree. There is nothing to suggest that it was the car wash that bricked the car. It likely would have failed without the car wash. It's pure speculation on the writers part, but it's a nice salacious headline that strikes me as pure laziness
