ywheeler+FollowCar Stuck in Shop for 7 Months?!Imagine dropping your car off for a recall fix and not seeing it for 7 months! That’s what happened to Maddie in PA—her Hyundai stalled on the highway, but the dealership keeps dodging her, even though her model is listed in the recall. She’s still carless, and the shop keeps asking for random paperwork. Reminder: If your car’s recalled, you have rights—free repairs, notifications, and even legal help if needed. Would you wait this long for your car? #Transportation #CarDrama #RecallNightmare21Share
dennis03+FollowThey cut my wiring harness during a recall. SeriouslySomeone asked for our worst car recall experiences in a post, and this incident instantly came to mind. Back in 1991, I brought my 1986 Fiero in for a recall repair on the exhaust manifold—it had a fire risk. The dealership finished in a few hours, but as soon as I drove off, things went haywire: windows moved on their own, gauges freaked out, headlights blinked at random. I turned around immediately. They denied anything was wrong—until I popped the hatch. They didn’t unplug the wiring harness to reach the manifold... they cut it. Taped it back together and acted like it was already like that. They claimed the car was like that when they got it. Luckily, I had a photo of the engine bay before. They didn’t replace the harness, just spliced every wire and left me with a softball-sized mess of tape. And the whole time, the BMW sales guys were trying to sell me a new car and offered me $100 trade-in. Ever had a recall go this badly? #AutoRepair #RecallNightmare #MechanicProblems #CarTalk #Fiero #Cars #CarRepairStories 68Share
