rev up your engines, it turns out that over 3,100 Kia's and
Hyundais, basically it's the same company they own each other now, have had fires
that were non collision related, I mean if a car gets in a wreck and goes on fire you
can't blame a car but these are cars that just start on fire now, if you
remember a while back 2.3 million cars for engine problems, it's still happening
they obviously have not fixed of the problem, I've seen with my own personal
customers, a couple of them had theirs recalled, they took it in to get the
engines fixed, the engines broke down a month or two later and one of them is still
in the process of suing them, you said you fixed my engine, now it's broken and
they're saying, oh that's something else that wasn't what we fixed, a lot of
nonsense going on with some of these companies, now I find this amusing myself
because JD Powers keeps giving these high ratings for kias and hyundais, I
mean come on now it's an advertising company they're just being paid to say
they're making good cars, anybody who knows anything about the real world
realize that stuff is nonsense anyways, listen to what an advertising company
has to say about the quality of cars, their obviously having problems, I tell people
not to buy them for that reasons, I'm not a
fan, I mean they seem to be making them better than they did before, but with
these problems hey I personally wouldn't buy one, the
quality is just not there and I personally would stay away from them, I
would not buy one, I don't advise my customers to buy kias and hyundais and
something like this that 2.3 million of them are recalled, and some of these are
still going on fire after they fixed the cars, I'd stay far away from that company,
jabari says question is the Lexus 2.0 turbo 250 brake horsepower as reliable as
a Lexus 2.5 v6 with 200 brake horsepower, no
no turbocharged car is more reliable than a
non turbocharged car, and you're mixing a 4-cylinder turbo that's going to spin a
lot faster than a v6 non turbo that doesn't have to spin as fast to get
going, they're good engines there's no arguing that, but any engine that's
turbocharged is not gonna last as long as a non turbocharged engine, it's just
the turbochargers Ram more air the engine, it's the same as increasing
the compression, the faster it's gonna wear out, anything as more pressures gonna
wear out faster than something that has less pressure, it's
just common sense, their still good vehicle I've got nothing against them
but they won't last as long, Justin Gomez says what's the best
reliable option for a first-time buyer, well you know it really depends on what you
want to spend, but if you want the most reliable bang for your buck, look around
for an old Toyota Corolla, they can run forever and I mean you can buy them that
have 230,000 miles on them and they still have a
reasonable amount of life left in them that's probably the best thing you could
possibly buy for a bang for their buck as long as you road test it before you
buy it, and find out that it runs good and it shifts good, hey you can still
have quite a bit of life and that's the most bang you're gonna get out of your buck,
bubble buddy says what do you think of the Honda CRV, it's a great line of vehicles
I've had customers with them for the last I don't know 30 something years it's
been almost that long, and they were all pretty happy with the vehicles, the
only thing that people really whined about was, the last decade and a half or
so they made crappy air conditioning compressors and they made the shaft on
the compressor clutch thin and it snapped off and fly off and you get a
new compressor, but honda actually gave a lot of people free new compressors for
that because they know they screwed up those things can run a long time, they're
solid built vehicles and for a Honda they usually have a decent automatic
transmission, that's the weakest thing in Honda but my customers with the CRVs
none of them had any automatic transmission problems with them, and some
of them drove them pretty hard, monther says Scotty
I got 2013 Ford Fusion, the transmission failed at 38,000 miles, the dealer
rebuilt it should I get rid of it, well here's the thing, they got to give you
some kind of a warranty on that, you got a seven-year old Ford Fusion their
resale value isn't that much, and you know if you only had 38,000 miles on it
now, you might as well as continue to drive it, because if you are curious see
what you get in a trade-in value on another vehicle like a Toyota Camry, and
you're gonna find they're probably gonna give you practically nothing for it, so you
might as well just drive it until the wheel falls off, rather than sell it and
lose a bunch now, I mean you have it so why not, that's why I always tell
people with any car that's kind of in between mileage and age and isn't worth
that much, and if it still runs good why get rid of it now,
Donnelly says question my 05 Corolla temperature gauge drops in the middle
when I turn the heat on, what could it be when you turn your heat on the heater is
a small radiator that's inside your dash to give you heat in the winter, in front
of the engine is the big radiator but the big radiator is the same as the
heater core inside, it's just a lot bigger, so when you take that extra heat
out of the car, it'll make your temperature go down generally, now if
your car is running too warm unless you put that heater on, then you got an
overheating problem, it can be a billion things, it can be cooling fans aren't
working, it can be you're low on coolant it could be your water pump is leaking, it
could be that you're radiator is old and won't dissipate heat anymore, that is
tricky, I've got a video how to fix an overheating car engine watch that and it
shows you every possibility that could possibly you make your car overheat, so
if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to
ring that Bell!
