Wind Wrecked My Rivian Door?!

Ever had your car door yanked by a gust of wind? Our Rivian R1S’s door got totally misaligned after a windy day—turns out, we’re not alone. The repair quote? Over $2,000! Apparently, heavy EV doors + surprise wind = expensive problems. Other Rivian and Tesla owners have had the same issue. Lesson learned: hold onto those doors tight, especially in wild weather. Has this happened to you? Would you pay up or try to DIY? Let’s swap stories below! #Rivian #EVLife #CarProblems #WindyDay #AutoRepair #Cars

Cybertruck Died 3x, Still Obsessed?!

Imagine your brand-new Cybertruck dying three times in a month... and you STILL call it the best car ever?! That’s Pharm Do’s reality. Even after three trips to Tesla service, he’s showing off his tricked-out, glossy blue Cybertruck and says it beats his Model X Plaid and Model Y Performance. Turns out, it was a bent pin in the wiring—yikes. Would you stick with a car that keeps breaking down if you loved it this much? #Tesla #Cybertruck #EVLife #CarProblems #CarEnthusiast #Cars

When a Lexus “Deal” Turns Into a $3K Leak

Thought you scored big on a used Lexus GX 460? Turns out, those sweet deals can come with a pricey surprise: the infamous valley plate leak. One owner grabbed a GX 460 for $17K, only to find out fixing the coolant leak would cost $3,000+! Apparently, this is a common headache for GX 460, Sequoia, and Tundra owners. Some just keep topping off coolant and hope for the best. Anyone else living with this leak drama? #LexusGX460 #CarProblems #AutoRepair #UsedCarLife #ToyotaSequoia #Cars

GM’s L87 V8 Drama: What’s Going On?

Did you hear about GM’s big engine mess? Their L87 V8 (in tons of 2021-2024 Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac trucks/SUVs) is having some serious issues—think engine failures and even total breakdowns, sometimes with barely any miles on the clock. Over 877,000 vehicles are being recalled, and some might need a full engine rebuild or replacement. If you drive a Silverado, Tahoe, Sierra, Yukon, or Escalade, you might want to check your engine type! #GMRecall #CarProblems #AutoNews #L87V8 #Chevy #GMC #Cadillac #Cars

8 Tacoma Complaints That Made Me Pause

Was about to pull the trigger on a Toyota Tacoma, but these 8 owner complaints made me think twice. From sketchy transmission issues (even on new models!) to random acceleration and cramped back seats, it’s not all smooth driving. Add in paint problems, corrosion, and some questionable build quality, and suddenly that legendary reliability feels a bit shaky. Anyone else surprised by this? Would you still go for it or look elsewhere? #ToyotaTacoma #CarProblems #TruckTalk #CarShopping #AutoAdvice #Cars
