Michael Wilson+FollowThese 'Reliable' Cars Turn Into Money PitsEver bought a car thinking it’d last forever, only to have it fall apart right after 100k miles? You’re not alone. Turns out, some so-called “reliable” rides—like the Nissan Altima, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Range Rover, Chrysler 300, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class, and Ford Focus—are infamous for expensive breakdowns once they hit that milestone. From transmissions to electronics, the repair bills can be wild. If you’re car shopping, you might want to double-check that odometer! #Cars #CarProblems #AutoRepair00Share
Alexander Black+FollowFord’s Repair Delays: Not Just Missing TechsFord says your long wait for car repairs is all about a mechanic shortage, but researchers and techs are calling BS. The real story? Dealerships are burning out the talent they have with low pay and stressful work, leaving thousands of service bays empty—even as new grads enter the field. It’s less about finding people and more about fixing how dealers treat them. Would you stick around for that? #Cars #Ford #AutoRepair20Share
taylorjoseph+FollowI heard a bang on a dirt road and now my car is missing a piece. Needed a pro ASAP.I was driving out on a slightly rocky dirt road when I hit a major dip and had to swerve a bit to make a U-turn. Right after that little maneuver, I heard a thunk and saw something fall off the back of the car. I did not get any warning lights come on, and I drove another 30 miles to reach the town where I am staying for the night. The car seems to be driving completely fine, but I still had a quick look underneath. It looks like it came off a missing plastic section in the undercarriage near the back. I did not see any vital looking mechanical pieces missing from the area, just that one section of plastic. Please tell me what exactly this piece is and how concerned should I be about driving another long distance tomorrow😑😂 #CarTrouble #MechanicHelp #AutoRepair #CarAdvice #Cars 98Share
dennis03+FollowMy mechanic said I need a new tire, but he couldn't even tell me whyI took my 2012 Mazda 3 in for a look because it is making a clunking sound after I hit a jump. The mechanic said I needed a new control arm, which makes sense to me. But then he told me I also needed a brand new tire. I was pretty confused. The tires are only two years old and I can't see anything wrong with them. I asked the mechanic what the problem was and he just ran his hand over it and said he could "feel it." He gave me no other explanation. I also thought the price was ridiculous. He said it would be $150 for just one tire. I paid about $300 for a whole set of them on sale at Walmart. This is not a dealership either, just a new random guy I've never seen before. Does anyone have a clue what he could have been talking about? #CarTrouble #MechanicAdvice #DIY #CarRepair #AutoRepair #HelpMe #HelpNeeded #CarTires 82134Share
patrick16+FollowMy car is full of tortilla chips and I'm not sure whyI opened my hood today to refill the windshield washer fluid and saw something I still can't believe. What appears to be a big pile of tortilla chips was sitting there. I was so confused. I am really hoping there is another explanation for this. Could they be fallen tree leaves that somehow got all fried and bubbly? I just cannot wrap my head around a pile of chips being in there. I don't even like tortilla chips. #CarProblems #WeirdFinds #WhatIsThis #AutoRepair #CarMaintenance #Cars #CarRepair 3445Share
malonestephen+FollowFound a Mysterious White "+" on My Car. Should I Be Worried?I just noticed something weird on my car and I have no idea what it is. There is a small white plus sign drawn on the left headlight. I do not remember seeing it there before. I got my oil changed about a month ago and that is the only work I have had done on the car recently. I have no clue if they did this or why. It is really strange. I am a little worried what it could mean. Any information or theories would be a big help 🙏 #CarTrouble #Mystery #HelpNeeded #StrangeSigns #AutoRepair #WeirdFinds #Cars #HelpNeeded 607335Share
malonestephen+FollowHow would you pop this juicy zit?Find a brave kid from the neighborhood, dare 'em to pop it. If it explodes. Claim they were vandalizing your truck and have charges pressed before they even make it out of the ER. 😅 (That's awful, just kidding #CarTrouble #CarHumor #AutoRepair #Tires #Cars 2210Share
