“That’s not an exhaust pipe. That’s a fence post!” - that’s good stuff.
The scary part is, is these are on the road driving with us!!!!!
then buy them a new car, it’s that simple right?
@@J.Gainezif people drive around in cars that dangerous, i dont think they should be allowed to drive in the first place
@J.Gainez so by your logic they should just be able to put everyone in danger?
Maybe your government should implement some sort of yearly inspection 🤔
In Texas they are phasing out safety inspections in favor of emissions only
Craziest thing I personally seen that caused a tire puncture was a push rod from a small V8. The rod went in the tire between the tread valleys somehow and was rolling around inside. He, and us, figured it was just a gonna be some random chunk of metal. I walked in the lobby with a big smile and told him he won. All puzzled he asked what I meant and I reached in my pocket and said 'You won a push rod'. Still staring at me he says 'is THAT what was in the tire?!'
Definitely a highlight of my tire shop days.
onetime i was working on a big ass front loader and this dude got a whole ass tire iron in his tire
I have been qualified mechanic for 50+ years and I live in a country that has 6 montly safety inspection and now yearly inspections for cars under 20 years old, any kind of structural rust gets rejected until repaired by a certified bodyshop, even tho our roads never get salt on them we have many 30-40 year old cars with barely surface rust under the car, most of problems are caused by internet repairers, good for busy Monday mornings.... 90% of these chassis related problems would not occur because of our safety regulations.we do have a great number of Xbox thought driver fatalities. All in New Zealand
Moaning gas tank was hilarious
There's a Brian Eno album in there.
@@deandupont5503 🤣
I don't claim to be a absolute genius but I'm grateful for having some common sense and fair knowledge of autos. 😅
Having been an automotive and light truck mechanic for 35+ years, I can relate to much of this stuff. The rust on vehicles where salt is used on the roads, is appalling.
What is the quickest car you've seen rusting to dangerous you've seen?
@@JayDee-xj9lu Dad bought a 69 Dart convertible 318 new and made a cardboard body patch in 1974 to fix a quarter panel before trade-in. North Ohio and full salt.
Don't forget the dummies and boat ramps in Florida that rust their share of vehicles after the owners take them for a swim
Moaning gas tank was hilarious. Just remember, we all share the road with these people..
"Thats a fence post!" killed me.
In defense of the 1 lug nut car, I had this happen to me 10 minutes after a shop conducted a tire rotation. 100% caused by over torquing the crap out of the lug nuts causing the studs to snap.
The rubber chicken in the coil spring is hilarious! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
7:24 "There's oil! Ayyy!" 😂
You know it's bad when the mechanic is celebrating the fact that oil is coming out of the engine. I'm pretty sure that's coolant. I'm no automechanic (aiming for robotics technician), but I don't think oil is supposed to be red.
nope, that really looked like transmission fluid
Trany fluid is kinda red and anti freeze can be red. People topping up fluids with no idea what they are doing. Those that drive this junk make you wonder about their driving skills as well.
My favorite is the gas tank and filler neck supporting the rusted out rear subframe.
i will never understand 2 things .......
#1 why people spend so much money on a Vehicle and don't take care of it
#2 why people have to go straight to the left hand lane when entering the Highway
Those auto adjust timing chains are the best. Who needs tension in a chain anyway. I also love spun bearings and thin rotors and pads. I also love when the piston of the caliper doubles as a brake pad and backing plate. Brake pads and meaty rotors are so over rated anyway. Being dead serious, i replaced my wifes front pads and rotors back in may....the parts i threw away would make for new parts vs the crap i see here. I love my wife so having good brakes is reassuring.
When timing chains wear down... it stretches. Needs something to take up the slack.
What a treat a 18 minute video of what I call crazy customers. Thank God for the real mechanics who have to deal with issues on a daily basis. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
These are a lot more interesting when the solution to issues is mentioned or is obvious, especially with the electrical issues.
Ouch. 5:19 At least gm vehicles won’t let you remote start them with the hood open.
Probably for the same reason some shirt tags have to say "do not iron while wearing shirt".
I’m starting to wonder if some of these people know the actual problem and take to the shop and try blame them for the catastrophic damages
That's why a good mechanic will always do a visual inspection first and take pics before doing ANY work, or at least stop when they encounter the unknown problem.
Some people absolutely will. I saw it for close to 30 years at a dealership, and it was a very common problem at the car wash when I was young. If you take an automobile out of someone's sight, you can bet you'll have to deal with that on some level. Brandon knows the right way to protect himself👍
For some of these, especially the electrical issues, I'd love to know what they found the problem to be.
We had a 99 Grand Caravan with a similar issue when I was in high school and I believe it was a loose solder or something like that with the wiring to the instrument panel thing.
That's easy, it's the customer. The customer is the problem
A lot of people will not fix anything until they have no choice. It's kind of nice because it keeps a lot of people working.
Could still be working by repairing before becomes a safety issue. Most of these cars beyond worth repairing.
10:50 my car did that once but it was with a BANG as I hit a small bump and the parking break just shattered into pieces on my way to the garage. It was really amazing as we got the break off and all the parts just fell out all over the floor.
So I guess you guys don’t have annual car inspections 🤔, OMG these cars are so dangerous, 😂, cheers CB 🇦🇺
Rust belt but just depends on who owns it, some can live on rust belt and not have rust some yeah
Safety inspections are on a state by state basis. In some states, the counties get to decide. It's chaos.
@@aderi31415We have TÜV, 95% of the owners of the vehicles would have had the numberplates pulled off and their vehicles condemmed to the scrap heap years ago.
Hardly any damage on these is current.
Poor cat was prob freezing as to why it crawled next to the warm engine..
Just remember, we all share the road with these people.
5:10 any vehicle with a factory remote start should have a hood pin to prevent remote start in service situations just like shown in the clip. The only way this could have happened was it was an aftermarket remote start installed without the hood pin, that is supplied in the main brand systems.
Dont half ass your installs folks.
The customer is always right like the time some guy had his truck shipped cross country to the car wizard insisting it needed cylinder head gaskets because it was leaking oil but it turned out to be the valve covers leaking and the customer wouldn't take no for an answer so he had it shipped all the way back without any of the repairs being done because some buddy of his looked at it and said it was definitely the head gaskets and wasn't going to be told his buddy was wrong.
People are dumb that’s all I’m saying!!!!
Not a official mechanic but did work in the auto feild for years and I cant agree more. My daughters boyfriend is forever saying there is this problem that problem this needs fixed and diagnosing it himself. The same guy who said he would help me change my front brake pad cuz he knew what to do but put them on backwards. Yet when I look at it tell him what I believe to be wrong or there is no issue he says, "well I dont have the money or I will have my uncle look at it". He works 5 days a week and comes home at least 3 of those days with a new "problem". Plus I have had to fix 6 of his uncle the "mechanic" fuck ups in 2yrs. Not to mention he pays his uncle but not me. But because his uncle is a "man" and had his own "repair" shop he knows more than I do. Hey I am no certified mechanic just a gal who is a shade tree for her own cars but Im not a know it all who wont ask for help or refuses to admit Im unsure of what wrong or how to fix it. There is a repair shop near me that I turn to when I need help and the owner is awesome. We met when I worked at the salvage yard and have been friends since. In the last 6yrs or so he started teaching the mechanic class at one of our college's. He has had so many cars come in that this dude has either misdiagnosed, messed up or had it duct taped together. There have been times he even turned people away when he found out that this guy worked on their car. Especially the ones who have their car diagnosed and a quote for repairs done but decide to take it to this guy cuz he was cheaper. I dont blame him though honestly.
My shop had the sign you've probably seen before: "The shop rate is $50 an hour; $60 if you want to watch; $70 if you worked on it first" I never understood why people aren't honest with mechanics, or at least honest with themselves about their level of mechanical knowledge. When I worked at a parts store I dreaded weekends when guys would have their wives/girlfriends call about parts. I'm sure they were trying to avoid having to say "I don't know" directly to a "man" when asked about something they actually didn't know.
@@fasillimerick7394 in all fairness when I work in automotive there was plenty of guys who dont know anything about cars also. I loved what I did. To be honest I would much rather deal with someone who is unaware than a "know it all" smart-ass lol. Or the guys that would call and tell me they wanted to speak to a man because a woman dont know anything about cars. My boss at the salvage yard gave me the green light on those crotch goblins. I will be the first to admit that I dont know, Im unsure or I would speak to one of the guys about their request. If you wanted to buy a part from that salvage yard they was going to talk to me respectfully and not like the son moms wished she would have swallowed🤣. If they wanted to continue to disrespect me all of the cars they needed parts for we just crushed the day prior🤣. Opps sorry dude your screwed. Some men welcomed women into the auto world with respect and decency though. Even though I cant work at a job now I do all my own repairs on our 3 cars and enjoy doing it.
It's hard to believe people drive around in cars that are falling to pieces.
Silverado temp sensor note - you will have not only an engine light on and not be able to pass inspection, but also no AC. Have fun. Parts for those years are about three months out as of this date.
The rubber chicken gag is great! We used ATF blown up the tailpipe..... until one of us got in trouble
16:11 never thought I’d hear a vehicle be better at Mongolian throat singing then most humans
that was eerie haha
For anyone with remote start, the button you click twice to start the car will also shut off when it’s running if you click the same button. Just a heads up
@Scratchingforcash, yep! I couldn't help but laugh a bit though as the oil starting spewing, "The Beverly Hillbillies" came to mind "...up came bubbl'n crude..."😂That was some seriously black oil. I'd be wondering about the health of the engine and the change intervals they're using. It just reminds me of how carboned-up engines look when people haven't changed the oil in forever. And speaking of "engine health", something people might want to consider is that if it's been a while, change the oil & filter if you know you're vehicle is coming up for an emissions inspection soon because degraded engine oil can increase emissions.
All I could think was, how difficult it would be on my Honda, to roll over on the same button twice, and then hold a second button down for 2 or 3 seconds.
The whole series SHOULD be called "when American meth heads own cars"
0:45
Nice pit stop fix , maybe use more ties .😎
Imagine if yearly inspections were a requirement. There would be a lot less cars on the road.
They are in Pennsylvania. I'm shocked and appalled at the junk I see on the road when I go to Ohio.
There is in most (if not all) states and territories in Australia! Can’t believe the condition of these cars!
They have them in New York. Even though some places will let you pay extra and pass it even if you have rusted out frame or something else wrong
That was an amazing use of tie straps😂
Yo “that ain’t no exhaust pipe, that’s a fence post” 😂😂
Milkshake oil..always gets me
Customer complains of vertical videos on a horizontal screen.
6:17 "🎶🎵🎼oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo...... WIPE-OUT🎼🎵🎶" 😅🤣😂
I haven't seen so many milkshakes since my last trip to Dairy Queen.
7:56 this man had a mess to clean up lmao
Some damn scary vehicles out there 😮🫣😬🤦♂️
9:20 The squeaky rubber chicken around the coil spring is CLASSIC! 10/10
Also, in the "Things I Wanna Know But Don't Wanna Know" department...
...what was that tail?? 😬2:06
16:09 From the sound of it, that gas tank inlet leads straight into the pits of Hell
The "tail" is fibreglass packing from the muffler getting blown out
I love your channel. I take care of my car. I am terrified what some people drive.
I like the wheel of fortune part 😁
THESE PPL ARE ON THE ROAD!!!
Those rust-belt vehicles.... They amaze me. How can people not give a poop that they are driving their family around in a car that has about as much structural integrity as a wooden fruit crate?
Ich habe jahrelang immer den Fehler gemacht, Bremsbeläge die abgefahren sind zu wechseln - ich wußte gar nicht, dass man da noch weiter fährt, bis der Metallträger und die Bremsscheibe auch verbraucht sind - da hätte ich mir doch mega viel Geld sparen können, wenn man das früher gewußt hätte :-)
XD😂
More like "Wheel of Misfortune"
“Customer declined all repairs.”
On all of them. Also, they said you’re a liar and a thief who is trying to steal their money with unnecessary repairs. Also, they gave us 1 star on the survey, and now your pay is going to be docked for it.
some things I learned about the USA:
- The average state of an average car is comparable to uncivilized bushmen with absolutely no sense for at leaste a minimum of technical safety.
- The average driving skill of an average driver is not measurable; you can just go into the next DMV, pay a ludicrous fee, and get a driving license in return. There is no skill at all.
- They call themself the "Land of Freedom" ... free to kill each other with murderess technical state of cars, without any signs or remorse or even understanding.
I know I went to school for all this but, WOW!
These videos scare me to death knowing that I am sharing the road with cars that have incorrectly installed brakes, rusted out frames, and dangerous vehicle modifications.
5:19 You know he took it to the car wash, leaking oil all the way, then sprayed the motor and fucked it up even more. P.S. nice sandals, lol
@9:02 I see this same similar brake issue on motorcycle customer routinely, they say they never notice anything, then their brakes stop working. It doesn't matter if you drive truck, car, motorcycle etc I just have to ask did you not feel anything different when you using the brakes, did yo not may be hear a possible grinding sound or any weird noise??? Texas is doing away with the state mandatory safety inspections, remember these vehicle drivers are on the road with you every day. Yea! Your life is in their hands.
0:29
The forbidden Yoo-hoo!
7:33 i am watching behind a computer screen and I STILL moved to avoid it lol
Run away!
Rest of the World: Nothing can break a Toyota
Americans: Hold my Beer
Regular compulsory safety inspection: Ah, who needs that!
Nobody. People just need common sense. Ok, maybe in some places they need to make up for a lack of that.
Just remember you're sharing the road with these people at 80 mph😂weeeeeeeeeeeee
Of all the issues I see I think I prefer the food stash in the airbox.
The rubber chicken 🤣😂👍👍
Why do we see so many cars in these videos that are completely rusted away? They don't seem to be that old. My car is almost 20 years old but far from that structural disintegration. Is it a quality issue? Or just the climatic conditions in certain areas of the US?
Part of it is salt getting kicked up into the undercarriage, then you also have people who never wash their car. My truck is a 91 and it isn't that bad but I also wash it and the frame isn't bad
North country vehicles that get driven in the winter end up like this
Krown Rust will keep rust away.
Where there's snow-cover in Winter, unrefined salt (grit) is spread on the roads because as salt-water freezes at a lower temperature, the snow also melts at a lower temperature. The downside of this is that it's the equivalent of driving on an ocean beach, and likewise if not washed off with fresh-water, then it becomes the ideal conditions for steel to rust (oxidise).
@@stevie-ray2020 Here in Germany we also get salt on the streets during winter but I never saw rot like that on a vehicle here. Maybe these cars get off the streets much earlier as we have do to safety inspections every 2 years. If they find something dangerous like structural damage (and the cars in the videos are way beyond this) you won't be allowed to drive off.
@17:18 my dad had a Lincoln Navigator that would randomly loose all power and turn off while driving at highway speeds.. once he got it stopped and pulled over it would turn back on after a few minutes
What the hell was the exhaust tail!?
The forbidden chocolate milk (Andy)
Very stupid question, but how do these vehicals get this bad? In the UK we have anual roadworthy test called the MOT, it is a legal requirement to pass this or the car is classed unroadworthy until fixed, our cars could never get to this state as it would be picked up early. Are there not roadworthy tests in the US?
I have a female friend who's car front end shakes from side to side when she gets up to 35 mph, but she says "there's nothing wrong with it !"
Yeah there is, it's not supposed to do that
I have that same Electrical simplified book!
8:41 did anyone notice the almost invisible spark plugs
Mother in law hasn’t changed her motor oil since 30k miles ago. Bought the oil filter and oil but I just see it in her shelve 😂. I told her it’s past due but she said it’s fine it’s a Toyota 😂
Wow. It's almost as if people take their cars to the garage when they notice a fault. Weird
... are we not going to talk about the "tail"?
Bi-yearly mandatory state inspection with blind checks to see if the checks are performed.
"Can i get an M!?" He tried at the last second
The amount of video's on UA-cam that show chassis rails and undersides rotted through is astounding. Is this the result of the salting of roads in winter and a lack of proper maintenance?
Is there no car inspection in the states?! Here in Sweden all cars is checked every year.
Customer states: "Engine only starts after pspspsps"
14:17 "Can i get a tire patch?"
6:09 customer edition correction
Don't they have annual inspection in USA?
Exactly. They have it here in the Netherlands. Here are not such wreckey cars on the road.only a new car is free of MOT (APK) for two years. When you have no APK, you get your fine automaticly.after 2 months and one warning letter. The fine will cost you €130, $139
sometimes watching these, i get reminded why i avoid people because they all talk like a high school teenager
That was a tough piece of wood.
sometimes i think here in germany it is not too bad to drive the car to the TÜV every two years. They check the car completly for technical issues and look over all safety components. If your car failed you want be allowed to drive it until the issues are fixed.
I had a 05 Sebring that would do the no electrical system thing like that lincoln...headlights would shut off too, they were auto so you could flip them to manual and that seemed to fix the problem...till it did it again. It was completely random so was never able to duplicate it, car would keep going but man a dark rural road and suddenly everything shuts off on you but the engine is concerning.
Bad ground in the instrument panel.
Same thing happens every now and then in my 07 Prius. Supposedly it's cause a cap or something goes bad. Unplugging then replugging in the battery fixes it, for now. Eventually it'll stop fixing it. Thankfully it doesn't happen while driving.
I get the same thing in my ‘15 F150. I found a fuse that I can pull out then put back in and it will stop if from happening for a couple months.
HA quick flick while having coffee at work
0:45 How long will plastic tie straps last against steering turn or a hot caliper
( probably 45 seconds hahaha)
1:00 not only is the wheel multi drilled and wrong and loose but there is a nice shiny stud at 9 oclock, so some one snapped it recently
7:34 I suppose that pan is made to catch Oil not Coolant thus the Splashing
Yeah, it's supposed to catch the big pieces (as you can see a few already on there), but just the rush of it against the mesh is what's causing the splashing
Ah physics. Funny how it do sometimes.
the one with the gas tank "farting" my buddys 2012 f150 5.0 yote does that. his gas tank will shrink to. its a evap system failure.
Besides all the idiots on their phones while driving, its vehicles like these that cause the majority of all accidents for not being road worthy in the first place.
I’ve got a new set of tires put on my car at Pep Boys once. They forgot to tighten the Lugnuts.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 I’ll never go there again.
I am now going to rubber chicken a coworker's coil spring.
Wtf is up with everyone fucking up their wheel bearings lol
In sweden youre car need to be road checked every year ( by law) to be allowed on the road. Theres nothing like that in usa?
3:25 sweating horsepower 😬🤷♂️
I have a 2002 Volvo V70 XC . Sometimes the instrument panel does not . Work
Sometimes it does work so I know how much gas I got 🤣
5:16 my worst fear
yikes. my two auto's go into the dealer for repairs or maintenance when ever something goes wrong. not worth being stuck on the side of the road broke down. these people in this video should be doing the same thing. take care of your auto and it will last a long time. my expedition is 25 years old and still going. I take care of it. the car is 14 years old and still in great shape.
Just drain the metal lol
Knock knock jokes are funny until your car starts making them 😐
Is there no annual inspection your vehicle has to pass in the usa??
