The New Dodge Challenger Has a Serious Problem

rev up your engines here we go dodge is at it again boy their lack of quality I mean you couldn't make this stuff up now the recalling 173 other challengers and charges their big monster cars because they put the wrong size wheels on them they put tires out of the wrong size tires can rub against the steering knuckle could cause a blowout and kill you now let's face it the people that drive those challengers and Chargers they're gonna be driving like maniacs did you've been make sure I like putting the right size tires on I mean who's running this company they can't even put the right tire on their high-end muscle cars I mean okay I can't understand it was on their cheap econo box cars but these things are pretty expensive you'd think that they would put the right tires on them but they didn't anybody that thinks Fiat buying Chrysler was a good idea that's getting to be almost comical unless of course you owned one and you were going hunter miles an hour and you're cornering and then the tire rubs against the steering knuckle the tire blows up and flips and you get killed wouldn't be very funny then, so man alive what are those people at dodge doing, greasy sauce squinch says Scotty how accurate is car complaints calm I thinking popular car models are gonna have more complaints just cuz there's more of them out there yeah you got a very good point and that's the problem with any kind of complaint service is if you got five million cars out there you got five million possible problems so even if one hundredths of one percent of problems you can get a lot of complaints car they don't sell that many maybe people won't even buy the complaint I aren't that many people to complain about only generally a small amount of percentage of people are gonna complain anyways the problem with anything like that is where does the data come from a lot of times the data will come from people who are angry at that company perhaps they work for a competitor company somebody who works for the company itself they say good things about the vehicles instead and they will deliberately dish other ones I know a mechanic down the road that he had his guys when they weren't working he had him go to other mechanics and complain about the other mechanics too all look bad so if they looked up he'd have some glowing reviews which is mechanics actually put the glory rooster himself on dude but the other guys are all these bad reviews but they were being done by his mechanics too and there's spare time to try to get more business to come to him so a lot of stuff you read on the Internet you know take it with a few grains of salt if you want the truth Perino says scotty we're looking at the new 2020 lexus nx300 with the 2.0 turbocharged four-cylinder engines if you plan on keeping a long-term like i do any four-cylinder turbocharged engines gonna wear out faster toyota makes great engines there's no arguing that but all the turbocharger does is it rams extra air in and that's the same as increasing the compression inside the engine the higher the compression the faster things are gonna wear out that's just a plain fan I've been in the turbos and truthfully I don't like that turbo engine in a Lexus because it does make more noise it does rev a little higher and it's not as smooth of a ride as the v6 engine is mixed questions benny-boy 10 Scotty my car's been idling kind of rough I was wondering where it could be there's no codes or anything it's something obvious like it's misfiring it's gonna have a cold for the misfire if it's idling poorly but it's not tripping any codes the first thing I advise you to do change the fuel filter most cars have no idea what the fuel pressure is so if the fuel pump has a clogged filter after it pressure be low and it can idle bit also pressure test the fuel pump generally those won't be tripped now let's say it's a problem that just starting out like a vacuum like a big vacuum leak it's gonna trip a cone small one won't so check for a little vacuum leaks if it is shaking just that idle check the air filter could be clogged up or also check a motor mount I got lots of videos this year you get a little Jack and a piece of wood put it under the engine jacking up and if you jack it up and you see the motor mounts separating it means the motor mount rubbers broken and he's a new motor out it could be that simple if you have a transmission when it's starting to go out when you put it in Drive and it's idling it'll often start to shake because it's strain and the engine too much but once you get going then you're going fast it doesn't matter but at an idle if the transmission or the torque converter inside starts to go out it can idle really rough praying it's not that percussion says Scotty I got a 2013 Honda CRV 80,000 miles I recently bought used it has that dreaded rattle Honda claims the VTC actuator but people said it could be tensioner of chain and lots other things it runs fine it just makes noise on starter well long term will hurt my aunt prompting brakes yes it'll hurt your engine that was known flaw on those things didn't cheer when you bought it when you're in your body she just walked away because you don't want to mess with engine work I had customers drive it that way for years but they bought the cars ages are going over time it's starting to make the noise some of them are still gone two or three years and I still going down the road but I mean if that chain breaks distance at the valves goodbye engine you might take it to a good mechanic to see what they think is wrong what they charge to diagnose it correctly by taking the cover off and really analyzing it inside and see if that's something you want to spend on fixing or whether you just want to get rid of the stupid thing now or if you didn't pay too much money for it just sell it on and take a little bit of loss and learn never to buy a used vehicle that has any kind of rattling noise when you start the engine up cause there's so many things that can do what most of them are pretty expensive to fix Rory 874 says Scotty my wife's car is driving home from school all the sudden started to lose power she couldn't go faster than 35 when she got home I plugged it in and it said that it was in limp home mode help limp all mode is exactly what it says if you have a problem with your vehicle it will put it into limp home mode and only allow you to drive a certain speed so that you don't damage the transmission or damage the engine or burn out the catalytic converter it's a safety feature it means that you have a relatively serious problem in the vehicle if it still will go 35 miles an hour it isn't making horrendous noises drive it to the mechanic and see what they say odds are it's gonna be a pretty expensive repair because when they do that I only go 35 there's generally something relatively seriously wrong with the car so have a good mechanic like myself check it out just don't take it to some you know fly-by-night chain repair shop where they're just trying to sell it take you to a place where this guy's really know how to work on cars that can explain it to you if they can't explain it to you go somewhere else still drives it's not like you towed it there and you're at their mercy you didn't go to the next guy if at all possible you can drive your car drive it because if you tow it somewhere they got you by the short and curlies you already spent 150 200 bucks on the top it's drivable drive it get an idea what's going to let them explain if they can't explain go to the next one see if know what 71 says good morning my 2016 rav4 all-wheel drive the tire light was flashing I was driving the flash and staying on check all four wheels the pressure was fine tried resetting light but it didn't work I started it again and it was 25 degrees then it was 57 and it stopped flashing it's 35 and it's doing it again help you got a problem with your tire pressure monitoring system for sure it's a 2016 rav4 it's got a pretty good system on it you go to a mechanic like myself we have a scan tool you plug in all those codes are memorized and it will show where the problem area is odds are it's got a bad wire or a bad sensor and it would show the data we would see if it said it had a problem with the left front wheel then we drive it with the scan tool and we'd look at all the data if we see three wheels say it's going 30 and that will doesn't then you know well the sensors probably broken and we change that first and pray that it's not a computer fault where it gets to be a real stinker to trace and all that stuff down but the data is memorized in your car any good mechanic plug in his machine if he doesn't have a machine that can read that don't go don't go to a mechanic where's the correct equipment because modern cars require a lot of equipment to work on if you want to fix it you got to find a guy with it now if you don't care and you check your pressure like I do all my cars are so old they don't have sensors out of bed just buy entire gauge for five bucks and chug it yourself and ignore all that stupid stuff, sparkling cloth says what do you think of the 60s out Caminos are they sold buit, yeah they were sold built those are heavy things they got horrible gas mileage because they were so heavy they were also rust buckets almost every single one that I see the frames ride the fire was everything is rusting away back in those days they didn't use any kind of really anti rust coating on the thing and they were just rust and rust now if you can find one like that spent its life in Arizona or New Mexico or Texas away from the ocean so there's no salt water and a frame of solid and everything hey go ahead and get one to fix it up they're fun cars but for you northern boys they'd be real leery about buy one of those things they were rust buckets I'll just fall apart in front of your eyes and don't ever do what I've seen some people do don't ever get a northern car and bring it down here to Houston because here it's humid and if you got a car that's starting to rust from up north and the salt on the water and winter to keep the ice from freezing and aiways it's already rusting then the humidity of Houston will make it go so bad I've seen them where you open the door the door falls off after a couple of years because this humidity will destroy them too so you want a solid rust free frame one if you're gonna work on one Jason kosis says I got a 97 Chevy can't believe the low beam headlights won't work but the high beams do the markers work side lamps work what could be wrong it's just the low ones don't work first just check the bulbs it could be easily a burnt-out bulb and get yourself a little test meter ounplug where the bulbs are plugged in turn the headlight switch on see if you're getting power when you turn the switch on if you're not getting power then either the switch is bad the wirings bad or your fuses block then you check one at a time you go logical if you wanted to test the switch to make sure it's getting power in it's got power going in you know it's getting power then turn the switch on if power doesn't come out you know the switch is bad power does come out then you know it's a wiring problem now let's say you go to the head lamps the head lamps aren't burned out and they're getting power when you turn on then you got a ground problem you need power and ground in a direct current system so then check the ground wire that wire goes the body of the vehicle if you reground them and they work then just do that just cut the ground wire splice a new one and put it to the ground and bolt it to the body of the car and away you go it's always logical it's got to be something logical you can't see it but it always works logically, so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell
