If You Just Bought This Car, You're Screwed

graev up your engines well thanks two of Vier in Australia sent me this email now they're recalling a bunch of jeeps in Australia the upper control arm retaining bolts may have been damaged and the upper control arm made detached from the steering knuckle so the wheels will fall off and these are brand newer one-year-old jeeps in Australia so the Australian government is forcing them to recall them now like I said Chrysler bought Jeep from AMC years ago the quality started to go down theia quality went further down now it's the honest quality is really going full down the only time the Jeep quality has gone up since the original Willies Jeep is the short period of time when mercedesbenz bought Chrysler was damler Benz and the Jeeps actually were getting better some of them had excellent German transmissions and them the quality was actually going up but Mercedes-Benz lost so much money in a deal bying chryler because the chryler executives lied to the Germans I guess and said we're the highest profit car manufacturer in the world per unit sold right but it turns out they didn't give them any of the bad news about all the recalls and all the crap they had to fix for free which actually they weren't making money in the long run even though they told them we're the highest profit per car manufactured unit in the world it was all lies the Germans found out they lost billions in that deal right then somehow the guy that they used that it was a holding company LLC for a while he sucking Fiat and buying it it's like a giant game of wackamo there's one over here there's one over there pop them moving them over here you know just keep people's minds off the fact that they're making crap you're average Joey says I'm looking for a car for my son he's rode the life out of his 2009 Camry he's got some money saved and I'll put up the rest for total of 20K he wants more of a sporty ride he wants BMW but the ones you can find for 20K aren't worth it especially after 100,000 on them okay what do you think of a 2015 to6 Lexus IS 250 350 accurate TLS 2015 cion TC 2020 Corolla Apex 2020 Honda Accord 2.0 well if you want something a little bit sporty have some fun get the Honda Accord 2.0T you'll be happy it's Zippy it's fun to drive they're well made right the Lexus IS of course are wellmade but for $220,000 you're going to get a better Accord than you are a Lexus lexuses cost a lot more than the Accords do if you're going to buy a used Lexus its value is much higher than the Accord used so you're going to get less of a car for 20 grand than you'd get for an equivalent Accord you'll get a newer Accord with less mileage than you would with the Lexus and truthfully the lexus's the Honda Accords are a little more sportier zippier in that particular range of cars and they're a lot cheaper to maintain than lexuses are too so now I mean there's nothing wrong with the 2020 Corolla but that's not really sporty he probably won't like that that'd be more his ask him ask him the drive one and see if he likes it or not if he likes it sure you can get the Corolla but he probably won't like it if he wants a sporty car ABC says I got a superar r back I got the code for temperature sensor one circuit low I used to get good gas mileage now I'm getting bad gas mileage it's a hard time starting I put a starter in that's not the problem do I have a thermostat problem or should I get a new math sensor what do you think okay well start out with first put a thermostat in if the thermostat doesn't fix the sensors low then replace the sensor then the sensor's bad more often thermostat just break they're simple replace the thermostat but if it still has that code then replace the sensor because the sensor tells the computer and if the therat stuck open it'll say it's low but if it's broken it can say that too but change the thermostat that's cheaper easier do that first now ask for if your gas mileage is really bad first thing you want to do is change the thermostat if that code goes away for the thermostat see what your gas milees cuz if your car is running cold all the time you're going to get crappy gas mileage they're made to run War warm car engines are made to run warm and strange as it sounds the warmer your car engine runs up to a certain point if it overheats then it's no good but the warmer it runs the more efficient the car is the better the gas mods so start there now if you still get crappy gas Modge after you change the thermostat and it doesn't get the code anymore for you know that the low temperature yeah you might try a ma sensor it could be bad there's lots of things that can go bad right start with the thermostat that's the most logical thing well here's one for here's another smashed up Tesla and in this case the Tesla had the full self-driving system engaged and it almost ran into a train and he had to grab the wheel and twirl out of the side and still smashed it up this stuff doesn't work it's been proven over and over almost drove into passing trains twice in the last 6 months got an onboard camera you can watch the video on YouTube now the full self-driving is supposed to break when it sees obstacles well if it doesn't see a train as an OB obstacle there's something wrong with a software pretty big obstacle right man's driving it he had to grab the wheel and pull it over so it didn't hit the train it happened twice the same car one time he had a swerve out of the way by himself suspension was torn apart and the passenger side front fender was dislocated and the side still was ripped off he had to take over this stuff doesn't work they can talk the talk but can't walk the walk it doesn't work it should not be allowed on the roads no it was foggy weather too well oh let's see we drive in the fog you think a computer would be equipped computers have radar and stuff we don't have that right on our heads the computers do you think they drive better in the fog now on this video they can see that he's driving down the road there's no sign of breaking when it gets to where the train is and it didn't even start to slow down so he grabbed the steering wheel swerved out of the way now this guy's owned a model 3 for a year and in that year his car failed to respond to passing trains twice at different rail Crossing so come on the system doesn't work oh the elon's betting a farm on that that an artificial intelligent right gives you an answer depending on which advertisers pay it the most money to give you that answer right I still don't understand why they don't force him to take the name down full self-driving it's called it isn't can you put something on a bottle of arsenic that says is not poisonous when you know it's poisonous right well this isn't full self-driving why even allowed to say it is beyond me now the guy can't get any lawyers to sue because it turns out that he was doing between 61 and 63 mph and a speed limit of 55 like what not much difference right but looks like the lawyers aren't going to touch it cuz technically he was speeding right not all that much faster but it's always technicalities when lawyers are involved so looks like the guy's not going to sue anybody over it but really I think he should sue himself and being stupid and buying one of the things in the first place I warn people about stuff if they go out and buy it I have no sympathy for them years ago I had a customer he was a new lawyer just got his law degree just got a job in a law firm right I said whatever you do don't go out and buy a Jaguar so what does he do he goes out and he buys a Jaguar then it falls apart and he calls me up I'm like I told you not to buy this stupid car right you don't want to get in this pickle just don't buy one well guess what now they're finding more problems with their wind turbines in the ocean on the East Coast it turns out a type of rock down there glauconite adds a risk to building it because when they're trying to beat the pilings in turns out this ganite stuff kind of shatters and then it won't be a good place to put the giant poles that hold them in place right so yeah yet another problem with these stupid windmills in the ocean right old technology now well gee we might not be able to put them there because these rocks down there they they we pile them in they kind of shatter the things are going to fall over you know there's going to be problems up the Wu with these things right and real ize one thing these babies are monop poles they got one pole that's it baby one if it fails down it goes right you know these things are going to be falling over we all know it we're just waiting for them to put a bunch of them up and see how long it takes for them to start falling over breaking rusting and also falling over right now they're saying gee there might be some kind of rocks down there that it might not work too good right does anybody do research on this crap before they even put them out there you take the oil and gas guys they do all kinds of research own our stuff when they're drilling for oil to try to find oil they understand a whole bunch about how the Rocks work and what they are you know maybe they should have consulted them and ask them to do a little research right instead of sending these clowns put out these poles with giant windmills on them what the heck we'll just beat him into the ground hey we've done it before yeah but there's all kinds of different rocks of the world in the ocean right and if this glauconite is as bad as they say good luck they might have a hard time even getting them in then when they do get them in they may just blow over and the wind and the waves is this the urban future there they are little bitty cars they're called Hoppers it's a german-built three wheeled vehicle that technically is still a bicycle at least in Germany it is it's got three wheels it's electric because it's top speed is only 25 km an hour which is 16 M an hour and Germany is classified as a bicycle so you can go in bicycle Lanes right well here's the thing you imagine the bicycle guys when this thing comes in hogging the bike Lanes I can see problems with that you know there's barely enough room in most places I've been in the bike lanes for a bicycle then you add this three- wheel thing that's much wider and bigger I can see some real stinkers coming oute but I mean it only makes sense for urban community to make smaller Vehicles now I can't see why we would make something only goes 16 mil an hour right you can't drive in regular traffic it's too slow you create traffic jams right stuff like that they should be able to make small ones that can do whatever the speed limit in the city is 40 or 30 whatever small electric vehicles they have a limited range but they also have smaller batteries so they'll charge up faster this particular one say they can have a range of up to 40 miles we all know what that means probably more like 25 or 30 right you know you go a small distance in a city around what the heck and they would charge up faster because they're smaller right and technically it is a bicycle by German law I had tons of electric bicycles that I try out see which ones are good to warn you people and they recharge pretty fast even the big giant ones take maybe three three and a half hours to charge the small ones will do it in less than an hour maybe make small electric cars like I said in the first place start there don't start with these 100,000 monstrosities that can't go that far start out with small ones like this Hopper that they have in Germany now so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos remember to ring that Bell [Music] nah
