In the Air Force, all of our field vehicles, like M49, were all mechanical, nothing electronic, except lights & electrical wiring, but they're robustly built. Mechanical doors, windows, manual gears, windshield wipers, steering, brake. Switches were mechanical too. Driving it was a physical chore in itself. It took the abuses & keeps on working.

Drive by wire throttle ruined the stick experience. The Crosstrek is my 4th stick vehicle in the last 20 years, and probably my last. I absolutely loved to drive stick, but I detest the way this transmission shifts. The rev hang from the drive by wire throttle ruin the experience. i feel sorry for anyone who has this as their first manual experience. The manual cars from 15-20 years ago were so much more fun to drive. Edit 4th stick vehicle not 3rd

It's worse than just no parts available. Fisker cars won't operate without an internet connection to its company servers. When the power company cuts the lights at Fisker, everyone is going to be stranded. It won't drive because the car can't phone home.

They took it and pulled the valve covers off, as far as the dealer got to check it. They discovered the timing chain guides were broken. The dealership mechanic missed that part. They changed the timing set, and it ran great.

I had a caliper locking up on my old Chevy C2500 and it turned out to be the flex hose going to the caliper. I replaced both of them and the brakes work perfect now.

My suggestion for slow starting car, meaning it cranks a lot before starting. Once in the vehicle, close doors to make sure the lights are off and turn the ignition key to the point before it cranks the engine. You will hear the fuel pump humming, when it stops, start the engine. Don't touch the gas pedal if it's fuel injected. In the winter you should always do This, why? Because it gives the computer time to read the air temp, outside temp and calculate the choke and air mix to start the engine in the cold. That way it pumps the required fuel in and is ready to start. Just my experience.

If I'm not mistaken, the law states the manufacturer has to estimate parts supply for 10 years after the model is done. Not just the warranty period.

@Argedis 28 дней назад

Yes but if the company goes bankrupt there is no manufacturer Also Scotty already disproved this false myth. They are only obligated by law to make replacement parts for the warranty period ONLY, not after.

@Argedis 28 дней назад

"law that supposedly forces manufacturers to provide parts for 10 or 20 years after they kill a model, but no such law exists. While there are laws like the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act that provide some protection in certain situations, it’s nowhere near the 10-year mark. According to the FTC, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provides rules on warranties for all consumer products, and in the automotive world it forces automakers that provide warranties to produce parts for the term of the vehicle warranty. In some cases this can be as short as 3 years after the sale of the last model. "

Happy 4th of July 🎉

@rescue270 3 дня назад

My 2014 Ford F150 reached 355,000 miles with very few issues. Radiator and water pump last year. Resealed rear axle two years ago. Some time after that I noticed the axle bearings were getting a little noisy. Two weeks ago, the PCM computer went out. Drove to a friend's house, no trouble, got back in the truck, it was dead. There are about, I don't know, maybe about 1200 different PCMs for these, so once they finally got the right PCM, the truck should be ready today, so hopefully I can get back to work since I'm worthless without my truck. It's kinda like I took a vacation. 10 days off from work and I spent $2800. I just didn't go anywhere but to the store and back on my bicycle. I admit I have dreaded the day my faithful truck's electronics failed, and here it is. If not for that, 355,000 miles would not have stopped it.

Auto manufacturers are required by US Federal Law to have parts available for any models they sold for the period of 10 years.

@Argedis 28 дней назад

WRONG. Scotty already stated it's a false myth too. They are only obligated to provide parts during the warranty period. "law that supposedly forces manufacturers to provide parts for 10 or 20 years after they kill a model, but no such law exists. While there are laws like the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act that provide some protection in certain situations, it’s nowhere near the 10-year mark. According to the FTC, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provides rules on warranties for all consumer products, and in the automotive world it forces automakers that provide warranties to produce parts for the term of the vehicle warranty. In some cases this can be as short as 3 years after the sale of the last model. "

I just saw a Fisker Ocean yesterday in the parking lot of a local supermarket. It is a great looking vehicle. Now I feel sorry that the owner of that car got suckered into buying one of those things.

Having trouble with a diag on my '19 Camry XSE. ICS and Cruise Control are out with a bank 1 Sensor 2 code, sensor is fine, replacement sensor is fine. Think it's either the ECM or ECM harness, but can't find a table for resistance and voltage values for each ECM terminal to verify ECM is good or bad. If I unplug the ECM, codes for away and I have everything back for a couple minutes before they come back and I lose cruise control again.

Had a problem caliper once, or so i thought. Turned out it was the hose. Dern thang had a nick inside and was actin' like a one way valve. There was a flap or a small sliver of rubber hangin' loose. Doggone lil' flapper.

My car has had a bad O2 sensor for about 6-7 years the light comes on goes off comes on goes off. No big deal car still runs perfectly fine and idles perfectly fine no difference in running when check engine light comes on or off so I just live with ive replace one but not the other and don't want to spend the money on the other because it's more expensive than the other one I replaced.

The Fisker end was expected by a lot of people. Their mistake was not recognizing that Tesla exist. They tried to copy their strategy. Tesla built a Roadster for $100,000 (close to 200,000 in today dollars). No one needs a sports car. Fisker tried to make only luxury cars, while consumers started to look for the affordable ones. So neither production or sales reached critical numbers.

@Argedis 28 дней назад

Nah, simply no one wants EVs. The 'affordable' Nissan Leaf exists and it BARELY sold 6k in all of 2023. The Toyota Corolla sells 4x in a single month. Listen to Scotty no one wants EVs look at the data, even Hertz liquidated their EVs. The only reason Tesla sells is because it's the new 'BMW' wealth status symbol for people who want to show off with.

Toyota ain't cuttin it now either. Their truck, both the Tundra and the Taco, have big issues. But if I had to buy again, I'd fin a USED Tacoma, something 10+ years old with low miles and pay a premium for it.

@eskieman3948 28 дней назад

You could pick up a good Taco or Tundra that is at least four years old. Now - picking up a good used Taco or Tundra at a SANE price? That's a whole different issue.

@Technocrat. 28 дней назад

Insurance companies should insure any new automaker unless they can prove they have enough replacement parts for every car sold in the market. I recall there used to be a law in Canada anyways that car mfg had to make replacement parts for 10 years after release date. Or release replacement parts to third party mfg to produce.

Im lookkng to buy a small truck to tow a travel trailer. Found a good deal on a 2015 chevy colorado base model with only 9k miles on it.(off a government auction) But it has the base engine and is only rated for 3500 pound trailer. if I am towing near 3500 pound trailer on a regular basis am I going to wear the thing out in just a couple years or be unsafe to drive?
