I hate car problems!

[slickerthanyou]

Just shelled out 2 g's to have the wifes car fixed, Front and rear output sensors, new solenoid in tranny, oil sending switch9 major oil leakage( 2 quarts between changes), headlight switch (cured the blinking interior and dash lights), and a charcoal canister and another f'in leak detection pump!

Now on my way home today, I almost died as i blew out the inner CV joint on my car pass side and the outer on the drivers? How the fuk does that happen? This will probably be another grand to fix... no more toys for the blaster.

they both blew at the same time???


that's really strange

 

[super noober]

awww man that sucks, frickin cars.... that is some sh*t to blow out both sides at once, you wern't in the middle of a field or anything were ya?

axles are easy to change...you should be able to do that yourself.....i had a jetta that blew through axles faster than i could put them in, luckily they were fairly cheap (75 bucks).....i could have an axle out of that thing and a new one in in like 30 minutes....

Nope driving home from work!! Went to make a left and Bang and double bang!X(, Thankfully there was a bar across the street! so i just waited till the wife piced me up and trippled a'd it to my driveway!

i'd help you out if you were closer slick.....i've changed cv axles on the side of the road before, it sucks bad, but its doable

 

[02yamaturd]

nope i live about 3 hours north, im right up by the new york border...well like 45 mins away but close enough....

 

[sheeblast]

what kind of car? sounds like a dodge.

 

[brandoz28]

i'm guessing an intrepid

 

[slickerthanyou]

My car is a 97 bonneville, the wifes was the intrepid!

 

[sheeblast]

yup knew the tranny one was a dodge, a little tip, sell it, mopar trannies are junk.

 

[slickerthanyou]

I've heard horror stories about the 2.7L too. But haven't had any issues with it. we bought it with 32K and it has 85K now. I keep the maintenances up pretty good on both vehicles, but something always happens, Bobs bad luck!!!

 

[sheeblast]

trust me on, all auto mopar trannies are garbage. you can keep up on maintance all you want, they suck. parents had 4 trannies in a town and country, a remaned on only lasted 100 miles, and dodge was the one that replaced it.

 

[02yamaturd]

i think the trans in my ol' ladies town and country it about to bite the dust...
