Simple! It is called Programmed Obsolescence. If you make a car which will never get broken down you won't be able to make a profit out of that car. You sell it and that's it. But if your car has flaws and these flaws appear AFTER the warranty expires you are in luck, you will make a heap of money! Because the buyer will have to come to you and buy parts for his broken car because he needs a car. And when he is sick of his broken car he will need new car because new cars offer warranty. Basically you will make money non stop because those cars continue to break down
It's called planned obsolescence. Things are engineered to fail, or made poorly so that happens, so you'll buy a new one or parts far sooner than you normally would.
3:50 honestly, I was never a fan of Ford's to begin with. But I DO NOT blame the manufacturer on this catastrophic malfunction of the engine. From the looks of heavy varnishing and sludge, this is 100% the owner's fault for not changing the oil frequently enough.
Last clip is just the heartbeat of the car because the driver is 1. using his phone while driving 2. Not even stopping at a stop sign 3. being driven in the US
@@davidmccord8286 AFAIK that's how ALL small engines shut off, by shorting the ignition. It's just that these days it's an internal switch. I've seen several very old engines where that tab has broken off and they've just put a piece of wire under one of the head bolts that you can touch to the spark plug.
That lawnmower shutoff is exactly the same type as the first lawnmower I had to use in the early 1970s at age 7. I used a screwdriver to press the lever onto the spark plug so I wouldn't get zapped.
The contents of the fuel tank is spray foam.... there's a lot of dumb people out there who think spray foam and duct tape is the answer for everything.
@2:35 Dirt bikes, go carts, chain saws, lawn mowers, mopeds. All manner of gasoline engines were shut off like that...Let me guess...the OP is a millennial...
5:01 the ladder came out of nowhere, I'm sitting very high off the ground, I can see for miles because I keep a safe distance and there it is: suddenly a ladder on the road and nowhere to go!
I like the shut-off tab for the generator. We used to just ground push mowers out with a screwdriver to shut them off or snatch the wire off the plug. ( not recommended if you're barefoot!)
Had those on all the 80's tecumsehs as a backup in case the shutoff switch failed. They have a small, sharp tang to pierce the boot. And God help you if the boot was gone and your finger slipped while pressing it.
3:58 you’d think over time engines would get better.. need to go back 20 years and look at what was done.. had a 99 Saturn go 490000k would have passed 500k if I didn’t get is a crash...
7:43 Rotating noise, faster than wheel RPM but tied to road speed not engine RPM, thumping but not grinding, RAV 4 - assume 4WD, Google pics - rear driveshaft has a rubber mounted center support bearing. Main Diagnostic path - Investigate rear driveshaft; possible stiff u-joint, out-of-balance/ damaged, old/weak/torn rubber in center support bearing.
Those 2.4 ecotec’s keep going out because the owners won’t keep oil in them or just don’t change the oil the car are cheap but the owners aer even cheaper
GM 2.4 chainguides you say... What about the chainguides on their 3 cylinder 1.0 Or their chainguides and chain tensioner on their 4 cylinder 1.6 diesel.
I checked the cabin air filter box part number (AA145531-1490) and verified with the back lamp - appears to be a Dodge Journey. Then I checked the filter replacement video and you access it in the glovebox area like the Toyotas. Conclusion: probably just joking around - likely have some other repair to do, like heater core
2:28. Don't understand why "you've got to be kidding me". Killing the spark with a short was a common way to stop small engines for decades. It's simple, cheap, effective, and a marvelous solution to any engineer. People might have forgotten, but things were once built to be simple and affordable; it's how we built the largest middle class in the world.
Can I ask, (I know these are extremes) Why do people let their car get this bad? Aren't the mechanics that good/trustworthy? No offence meant to the good guys.
Some are just either lazy or don't have the finances for the real work that needs done. Like the person who states I just want my brake pads to be replaced, but the rotor is all messed up and when the mechanic says that the rotor needs replacing they say just the pads.
I know there was plenty of space, but NEVER rotate a wheel on the car by the spokes. One day, you'll lose a finger, or more as the caliper is usually very close fitting.
2:28 Young whippersnappers these days. This is pretty much how you shut off everything from rototillers to shredders and even lawnmowers. If you forgot it and tried to start the machine you could pull all day. We caught it after 1 or two pulls. Dam, forgot again. lol
It's sad to see that some types of engines these days are deliberately set up to fail in a short span of time, whether it being by error, or even taking any consideration on the quality of parts. They definitely don't make tough engines like they used to, especially the ignition timing and pulley parts.
3:49 I'd say it's right there with Hyundai/ Kia 2.4 and 2.0 only thing is... Hyundai/ Kia at least cover their customers with at minimum 1 free engine with their 10 yr 100k miles warranty. GM just has a standard 5 yr 60k mile warranty... so essentially when you need an engine you're warranty is expired.
