Customer States Their Car Suddenly Stopped Whilst Driving

[@h.b.lector]

I hate the German MOT when I have to bring my car for it's two year inspection, but when I see these driving deathtraps I'm glad we got decent MOT inspections.

[@donnienicholson6062]

In Mannheim they used to get serious on actual safety items but a carton of Marlboros or a big Jim Beam made the nit-picky stuff look passable. I always enjoyed the younger guys doing chin-ups with the exhaust system and trying to jab a screwdriver through the floor boards.

[@Noiseprojekt]

In Sweden we have inspection every year and every two years on bikes... And i'm glad for it!

Sad but true. My mailman has an older small Jeep with a blue million miles on it. He had the transmission changed 2 years ago and no other mechanical problems.

[@ffjsb]

Not true at all. I've got 185K on mine, and it's still going fine.

[@Rolly369]

if you drive of the shop and dont notice the lack of oil, you shouldn't ride a car anyway 😂 Red indicator means STOP immediately and not let's see waht happens 😱

[@cmdrclassified]

That wasn't the transfer case that failed, it was the transmission to transfer case adapter. That is a Ford Super Duty, and it's quite common. In fact, I just replaced one on a 2012 about 2 weeks ago.

[@mechanicalnightmare]

Cheers mate! Much appreciated.

[@Douglas1ro]

Real question, Is there anything that isnt "a common problem" on a Ford. Maybe I hear that a lot because there are so many Fords.

[@svause]

Jeep: literally pound a fist on the area aboove the gauge cluster; if things improve, pull the cluster and thoroughly clean the two (or more) sets of spring contacts, spray some electrical contact rust-proof solution on them, reassemble and check things out. Works on mine.....

[@crlaw75]

I agree with the chapter comment with the mess in the vehicle, "get your managers to turn these vehicles away".

[@donnienicholson6062]

People are strange. I bought a car in 1975 from a fellow soldier in Mannheim ,Germany that was full of trash. Went into his apartment to get the registration, cleanest living quarters I was ever inside. Sort of a Jekyll & Hyde situation.

[@crlaw75]

Interesting.

[@MicraHakkinen]

The last clip of that Jeep, my first suspect would be whatever the thing is that the driver is trying to operate. Verify that is good and not causing a near-short circuit (drawing way too much current but just not enough to instantly pop the fuse). The next thing to look for would be a bad ground. It looks like something is trying to draw a decent amount of current, the bad ground has too much resistance, so the voltage drops to where everything shuts off (including the thing trying to draw a decent amount of current, or the computer controlling it), then the reduced load allows the voltage to recover, everything powers up again, and the whole cycle starts over again. If all grounds are in order the next suspect would be a bad electrical connection in general that is common to all affected circuits.

[@Gamewizard13th]

I'm curious how many of these shops show the customer what's wrong when they decline

[@mechanicalnightmare]

I think a lot do, especially for the more dangerous issues. Most of the time the customers tell me they can't afford the fix and that's why they decline it so it's understandable. But still scary the cars going back on the road when they really shouldn't.

[@batsmusgames7823]

In my country we have mandated inspections each year for our cars. Sometimes I wish we didn’t have these but when I see some of these cars i’m glad we have them.

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

​@batsmusgames7823 Inspections are definitely a double edged sword. Nothing I drive would pass, but I don't drive things that are unsafe. If the Inspections were done at the proper level it would be okay I guess. But they expect perfect. I can't afford perfect

[@ATruckCampbell]

@@The_R-n-I_Guy Yea, there is a happy medium between not passing because of a bad taillight, and not passing because 70% of the frame is peanut brittle.

[@edbiller8455]

7:00 mark you can hear the mechanic's wife complaining... may be the belt, though?

[@TheTrollTrollyYeti]

The customer asking what the noise is. Check your heat shield above the exhaust. Not uncommon for that stuff to bend or become detached from road debris then just sit on the exhaust. Next would be the exhaust loosing a hangar. Followed by the exhaust loosing a bolt.

[@BJI82a]

You need to ask the driver if he is serious about letting the mechanic go into a car that is somehow your house now. I wonder if we will start seeing any clips with EV problems and maybe smack about how my car doesn’t have the problems your’s has and it can get fixed in my budget?

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

I've been working on cars since before I could legally drive. But I'm also cheap and poor. So I've let a lot of things go. But I also know what must be dealt with immediately. A leaky gasket, I'll just check the oil every morning. A worn bushing. I just drive more carefully. But if I was driving and my front end was shaking through the steering wheel. Its parked until its fixed. If the engine temperature goes up passed normal. I'm stopping immediately to find out why and fix it. Im cheap and lazy. Not stupid. Im not gonna blow up my engine or cause an accident on the highway due to lack of repairs. Safety first. Even I know that

[@user-uh2so8ic4t]

As a license mecanic In some of these cases I would remove license plates on car .

[@billst.1044]

If the car is unsafe to drive, and a shop releases it to the owner because they refuse to have the repairs done, can the shop be responsible for anything that happens? I saw one video where the customer refused the repairs and drove off. The shop called the police because it was that unsafe to drive.

[@richarderickson8840]

[@Noiseprojekt]

I'm divided on the opinion but when these deathtraps comes throught the door, the mechanics should be able to "seize" the car and only allow a towing truck to take it away if the customer declines the fix. But it might get abused by dishonest shops.... The US should take after Sweden, mandatory inspection every year in every state and if your car is deemed to unsafe to drive, you hand over the keys and get a big sticker on the windshield (called spanish flag) and you're only allowed to take it away on a trailer or tow truck.

It's the starter-motor solenoid cycling because it is unable to draw enough current from the battery for it to switch power to the starter!

In defence of the Hyundai (rod knock) wasn't that from a manufacturing problem in the American factory (Kia as well) where their were metal filings in the engine block that eventually led to the filings blocking the oil feed into the cylinders? Only happened in US built engines? My Korean built Kia 2.4 GDI has over 200000km with no issues, uses a little oil, has done since day 1.
