rev up your engines here we go dodge is at it again boy their lack of quality I
mean you couldn't make this stuff up now the recalling 173 other challengers and
charges their big monster cars because they put the wrong size wheels on them
they put tires out of the wrong size tires can rub against the steering
knuckle could cause a blowout and kill you now let's face it the people that
drive those challengers and Chargers they're gonna be driving like maniacs
did you've been make sure I like putting the right size tires on I mean who's
running this company they can't even put the right tire on their high-end muscle
cars I mean okay I can't understand it was on their cheap econo box cars but
these things are pretty expensive you'd think that they would put the right
tires on them but they didn't anybody that thinks Fiat buying Chrysler was a
good idea that's getting to be almost comical unless of course you owned one
and you were going hunter miles an hour and you're cornering and then the tire
rubs against the steering knuckle the tire blows up and flips and you get
killed wouldn't be very funny then, so man alive
what are those people at dodge doing, greasy sauce squinch says Scotty how
accurate is car complaints calm I thinking popular car models are gonna
have more complaints just cuz there's more of them out there yeah you got a
very good point and that's the problem with any kind of complaint service is if
you got five million cars out there you got five million possible problems
so even if one hundredths of one percent of problems you can get a lot of
complaints car they don't sell that many maybe people won't even buy the
complaint I aren't that many people to complain about only generally a small
amount of percentage of people are gonna complain anyways the problem with
anything like that is where does the data come from a lot of times the data
will come from people who are angry at that company perhaps they work for a
competitor company somebody who works for the company itself they say good
things about the vehicles instead and they will deliberately dish other ones I
know a mechanic down the road that he had his guys when they weren't working
he had him go to other mechanics and complain about the other mechanics too
all look bad so if they looked up he'd have some glowing reviews which is
mechanics actually put the glory rooster himself on dude but the other guys are
all these bad reviews but they were being done by his mechanics too and
there's spare time to try to get more business to come to him so a lot of
stuff you read on the Internet you know take it with a few grains of salt if you
want the truth Perino says scotty we're looking at the
new 2020 lexus nx300 with the 2.0 turbocharged four-cylinder engines if
you plan on keeping a long-term like i do any four-cylinder turbocharged
engines gonna wear out faster toyota makes great engines there's no arguing
that but all the turbocharger does is it rams extra air in and that's the same as
increasing the compression inside the engine the higher the compression the
faster things are gonna wear out that's just a plain fan I've been in the turbos
and truthfully I don't like that turbo engine in a Lexus because it does make
more noise it does rev a little higher and it's not as smooth of a ride as the
v6 engine is mixed questions benny-boy 10 Scotty my car's been idling kind of
rough I was wondering where it could be there's no codes or anything it's
something obvious like it's misfiring it's gonna have a cold for the misfire
if it's idling poorly but it's not tripping any codes the first thing I
advise you to do change the fuel filter most cars have no idea what the fuel
pressure is so if the fuel pump has a clogged filter after it pressure be low
and it can idle bit also pressure test the fuel pump generally those won't be
tripped now let's say it's a problem that just starting out like a vacuum
like a big vacuum leak it's gonna trip a cone small one won't so check for a
little vacuum leaks if it is shaking just that idle check the air filter
could be clogged up or also check a motor mount I got lots of videos this
year you get a little Jack and a piece of wood put it under the engine jacking
up and if you jack it up and you see the motor mounts separating it means the
motor mount rubbers broken and he's a new motor out it could be that simple if
you have a transmission when it's starting to go out
when you put it in Drive and it's idling it'll often start to shake because it's
strain and the engine too much but once you get going then you're going fast it
doesn't matter but at an idle if the transmission or the torque converter
inside starts to go out it can idle really rough praying it's not that
percussion says Scotty I got a 2013 Honda CRV 80,000 miles I recently bought
used it has that dreaded rattle Honda claims the VTC actuator but people said
it could be tensioner of chain and lots other things it runs fine it just makes noise
on starter well long term will hurt my aunt prompting brakes yes it'll hurt
your engine that was known flaw on those things didn't cheer when you bought it
when you're in your body she just walked away because you don't want to mess with
engine work I had customers drive it that way for
years but they bought the cars ages are going over time it's starting to make
the noise some of them are still gone two or three years and I still going
down the road but I mean if that chain breaks distance at the valves goodbye
engine you might take it to a good mechanic to see what they think
is wrong what they charge to diagnose it correctly by taking the cover off and
really analyzing it inside and see if that's something you want to spend on
fixing or whether you just want to get rid of the stupid thing now or if you
didn't pay too much money for it just sell it on and take a little bit of loss
and learn never to buy a used vehicle that has any kind of rattling noise when
you start the engine up cause there's so many things that can do what most of
them are pretty expensive to fix Rory 874 says Scotty my wife's car is
driving home from school all the sudden started to lose power she couldn't go
faster than 35 when she got home I plugged it in and it said that it was in
limp home mode help limp all mode is exactly what it says if you have a
problem with your vehicle it will put it into limp home mode and only allow you
to drive a certain speed so that you don't damage the transmission or damage the
engine or burn out the catalytic converter
it's a safety feature it means that you have a relatively serious problem in the
vehicle if it still will go 35 miles an hour it isn't making horrendous noises
drive it to the mechanic and see what they say odds are it's gonna be a pretty
expensive repair because when they do that I only go 35 there's generally
something relatively seriously wrong with the car so have a good mechanic
like myself check it out just don't take it to some
you know fly-by-night chain repair shop where they're just trying to sell it
take you to a place where this guy's really know how to work on cars that can
explain it to you if they can't explain it to you go somewhere else still drives
it's not like you towed it there and you're at their mercy you didn't go to
the next guy if at all possible you can drive your car drive it because if you
tow it somewhere they got you by the short and curlies you already spent 150
200 bucks on the top it's drivable drive it get an idea what's going to let them
explain if they can't explain go to the next one
see if know what 71 says good morning my 2016 rav4 all-wheel drive the tire
light was flashing I was driving the flash and staying on check all four
wheels the pressure was fine tried resetting light but it didn't work
I started it again and it was 25 degrees then it was 57 and it stopped flashing
it's 35 and it's doing it again help you got a problem with your tire pressure
monitoring system for sure it's a 2016 rav4 it's got a pretty good system on it
you go to a mechanic like myself we have a scan tool you plug in all those codes
are memorized and it will show where the problem area is odds are it's got a bad
wire or a bad sensor and it would show the data we would see if it said it had
a problem with the left front wheel then we drive it with the scan tool and we'd
look at all the data if we see three wheels say it's going 30 and that will
doesn't then you know well the sensors probably broken and we change that first
and pray that it's not a computer fault where it gets to be a real stinker to trace
and all that stuff down but the data is memorized in your car any good mechanic
plug in his machine if he doesn't have a machine that can read that don't go
don't go to a mechanic where's the correct equipment because modern cars
require a lot of equipment to work on if you want to fix it you got to find a guy
with it now if you don't care and you check your pressure like I do all my
cars are so old they don't have sensors out of bed just buy entire gauge for
five bucks and chug it yourself and ignore all that stupid stuff, sparkling
cloth says what do you think of the 60s out Caminos are they sold buit, yeah
they were sold built those are heavy things they got horrible gas mileage because they
were so heavy they were also rust buckets almost every single one that I
see the frames ride the fire was everything is rusting away back in those
days they didn't use any kind of really anti rust coating on the thing
and they were just rust and rust now if you can find one like that spent its
life in Arizona or New Mexico or Texas away from the ocean so there's no salt
water and a frame of solid and everything hey go ahead and get one to
fix it up they're fun cars but for you northern boys they'd be real leery about
buy one of those things they were rust buckets I'll just fall apart in front of
your eyes and don't ever do what I've seen some people do don't ever get a
northern car and bring it down here to Houston
because here it's humid and if you got a car that's starting to rust from up
north and the salt on the water and winter to keep the ice from freezing and
aiways it's already rusting then the humidity of Houston will make it go so
bad I've seen them where you open the door the door falls off after a couple
of years because this humidity will destroy them too so you want a solid rust
free frame one if you're gonna work on one Jason kosis says I got a 97 Chevy
can't believe the low beam headlights won't work but the high beams do the
markers work side lamps work what could be wrong it's just the low ones don't
work first just check the bulbs it could be easily a burnt-out bulb and get
yourself a little test meter ounplug where the bulbs are plugged in turn the
headlight switch on see if you're getting power when you turn the switch
on if you're not getting power then either the switch is bad the wirings bad
or your fuses block then you check one at a time you go logical if you wanted
to test the switch to make sure it's getting power in it's got power going in
you know it's getting power then turn the switch on if power doesn't come out
you know the switch is bad power does come out then you know it's a wiring
problem now let's say you go to the head lamps the head lamps aren't burned out
and they're getting power when you turn on then you got a ground problem you
need power and ground in a direct current system so then check the ground
wire that wire goes the body of the vehicle if you reground them and they
work then just do that just cut the ground wire splice a new one and put it
to the ground and bolt it to the body of the car and away you go
it's always logical it's got to be something logical you can't
see it but it always works logically, so if you never want to miss another one
