I wonder if the overnight low hit freezing that night you left it in the truck? Most cameras now do not advise exposing them to the freezing point or colder. I say freezing point because in Canada that is 0 degrees Celsius..in the U.S.A. it is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Years ago I bought a Fuji digital camera..worked fine for about a year...then the auto-focus/lens movement started fouling constantly. I'm scared to buy another one. I did use it for some shoots in severe cold...like -23 degrees C. Now you don't want to spend the 240 dollars to fix it unless they promise it will work fine, give you a warranty on the work..plus the camera is worth way more than that. Otherwise consider it garbage..like my Fuji...I still have it..don't know why..good prop to destroy in a video in the future I suppose.

My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have good fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodeaux, Fontainbleau, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Dont wanna sound like a jerk. However are you living at home with them? Are they providing for you? If yes to both I personally wouldn't say a thing and I just deal with it.

When I was living at home and I said I didn't like it. They opened the door for me and said if so leave. Be happy you have a place to live.

Maybe you have done something in the past where they dont trust you.
