I'm a retired mechanic. The calipers upside down one.back in the 1970's a shop called me and asked how to bleed calipers. I told them, later on they called back & couldn't get a petal. I went to there shop they had the calipers upside down. It's one I'll never forget.

I put two new calipers on the rear of my Explorer but could never get the brakes to bleed properly. I kept getting air in the lines. I ended up taking it to the Ford dealership where they said I had I had an upside down caliper. Come to find out, it came like that from the manufacturer. I had never heard of an upside down caliper, but a mechanic friend of mine said it happens on occasion. Learn something new every day...lol

My favorites...by which I mean "I hate this so very much"...are when the follow-up is "Customer declined all repairs and drove away." This is one of our fellow countrymen who thinks this is okay to drive away like that. On the road. "Nah, costs too much, I'll just drive it a bit longer until I buy some other P.O.S. truck that is a little less awful 'cause it's cheap!" They drive with us. Soooo when your friend cheaps out on car repair, remember they're likely just six months and one KZbin video away from being one of these people. Tell 'em to stop being part of the problem, peoples! Put peer pressure to polite use. "Frank, man, here, watch this video quick, it's funny. Oh hey, look, there's exactly your problem, too! Funny, huh? Hey, why don't you fix that darned thing, Frank."

1:50 re: the "self turning Hyundai" That's a bent / mis-machined halfshaft. One side or the other of the car has a CV joint that isn't centered. Either the spindle shaft is bent, or the bearing cup didn't quite get put together correctly and it's binding. The hub assembly on those eliminates the plausibility of an eccentric wheel rotation, but I've already dealt with over a dozen sub-100 mile cars that do this. Normally takes about an hour and a half to swap out the halfshaft, and problem solved.

I typically try to do my own car repairs and maintenance, though I'm certainly not a mechanic. My philosophy has always been "If I can take it off without breaking it, I can put a new one on." and this has actually served me quite well except for one time. I decided to change out my brakes entirely, pads, calipers, rotors, the whole shebang and actually pulled it off quite well, or so I thought. After getting it all back together and bleeding the brakes, come to find my petal went straight to the floor with no resistance. Tried in vain for hours to figure it out, eventually called it quits, and called the mechanic I used for things I didn't trust myself to do. Come to find out, I put the calipers on the wrong sides. Had absolutely no idea that they were supposed to be on specific sides! I'm sure the mechanics had a good laugh at my expense and I laugh about it to this day.

Had a cab over Freightliner come in with an intermittent shutting down on the road. Ran diagnostic tests and found nothing to indicate where the problem was. It would drive anywhere between 2 and 50 miles before shutting down. Finally found that the driver (or someone else filling the truck) threw the clear wrapping from a cigarette pack into the fuel tank. The wrapping would float around in the fuel tank and every so often get sucked onto the fuel line fitting. Resting the wrapping would float away. That's why you fill your OWN tanks, and don't litter in them. Cost to the trucker Over $500 in repair time and diagnostics.

Turned out it was the window on a rear passenger door that wasn't fully closed. Spent a few hours before realizing that- Thing is I couldn't even remember when someone was sitting in the rear seat last time so I have no idea how it got retracted that 32nd of an inch or what I might have been. It felt good to have found the reason for the noise and at the same time I felt stupid for not realizing sooner.

The problem is that there's a severe lack of public transit in most of the US. So almost everyone needs a car to get to work. And a very large portion of jobs in the US don't pay a living wage. People can barely pay rent and buy food, there's no money to maintain their cars. So it's very common for people to only take their car in for repair when there's a problem that they can't ignore. I pay about a $500 a month premium on rent to be within walking distance of the light rail in my city and happen to have the good fortune to work at an office which is also within walking distance of the light rail, so it only takes about 45-60 minutes to get to work. But if I had to take the bus at any point to get to the light rail or from the light rail to my office you can add 30+ minutes for each transfer I would need to get. So it could take upwards of 2 hours to get to work on public transit if I couldn't afford to rent in an expensive building close the the train. It's literally not an option for most people. So they buy a shitbox car that they can afford and then drive it until the wheels fall off because they would have to choose between paying rent or getting a brake job.

Regarding the clip about the Hyundai steering wheel moving by itself and them never having seen that before: My little Elantra one day decided to lose its entire mind and have a car seizure. Every light coming on and flashing, car locked the shifter so I couldn't drive it (as if I wanted to when it was twinkling like a meteor shower). We had it towed and my car spent over a year at the dealership while they tried to figure out what the heck was wrong with it. They replaced a ton of parts (yay warranty and woo free new parts) and something they did eventually worked. I don't remember what was wrong with it exactly, but I do know I got a lot of expensive parts replaced for cheap or free which was nice since now I have some fresh parts. It's been at the dealership again coincidentally for a while, it's been two or three weeks now because they need to replace a head gasket.

The "worst" violations I had was a car I took in for tires, and when they inspected it, the shocks were rusty... I declined the shocks and changed them myself properly not too long afterwards. I try and never let my cars get to an unsafe state. I check the steering and suspension for tightness each time I change oil and rotate tires..... and inspect the brake pads too.

These videos remind me of the old Fram oil filter commercials: "you can pay me now, or you can pay me later". As for the stuff in the fuel tank, I would guess some sort of sugar, honey, syrup, or other substance a rival put there to cost you money,

12:26 last winter I drove a snow cat that needed oil every week or 100 hours I wondered where it was going I looked for leaks told the mechanics about it I guess some just burn it the other drivers snow cat didn’t have that problem. At first I started noticing the temp going up then checked the fluids I was in the middle of nowhere but took extra fluids and whatever I needed. I got the feel of it afterwards knowing its quirks.
