Dude whattttt…. Parker tbh I would’ve went with her to that place she purchased it and expose them bro …. Thats really not nice 😢 TELL HER TO GO BACK AND EXPOSE THEM PLZZZZZ I FEEL BAD ! Let’s hope it’s something light
Man I love coming home from work and eating and watching you, your videos are the first to pop up on my feed lol just wish they were a bit longer like 15-25min
That is messed up. Those Arcadia’s , enclaves and traverses are big on that. The guy took her money and knew that it needed a timing chain. People so low down trust me he won’t win
A neighbor just went thru it. The engine bounces from the missfiring. I told him not to, and he bought it anyway😂 Chevy Equinox, junk vehicle plus he financed 3gs on it
Hey Matt, not exactly sure what editing software you use, but for UA-cam change the resolution to 1920x1080. For UA-cam shorts and Tiktoks change the resolution to 1080x1920! I love the videos btw! Have a great day.
All my present vehicles are used cars. I hook up a code reader first before anything. Secondly I crawl under the car and look for rust and oil leaks. I've had good success using this method.
issue is it was a 'bought as seen' deal... i never buy a bought as seen vehicle... there are too many dodgy mechanics out there... i was sat at the airport a few months ago waiting for nephews plane to land and i watched a mechanic pull up to a BMW minivan where a woman was stood waiting and she couldnt open the door on the BMW minivan he was telling her he will have to break the glass to get in and fix the issue... i dont usually listen to others conversations but you know you do sometimes. my wife has the same make of vehicle at home, i listened and he was going through prices and i knew he was scamming her once i heard he couldnt open it without breaking the window, i walked up and i asked if he tried the key inside the key fob... he said it didnt have one, i then told the woman he doesnt know what he is doing send him away and ill fix it free... he got angry and he even tried to charge her for coming out, i told him to leave or i call the cops, he left.. i then asked the woman for the key fob and showed her how to open it to get the key by pressing the button on the side of the fob... simple to do and opened the door.. told her buy a manual for that car read up on the issue before calling anyone...
It's not the dealership, it's those trash motors! GMC also use them in the equinox and traverse! My girlfriend went from an equinox to a traverse and they both had this exact same problem, they all have the same BS motor!
@@juarezderrick9647 It's definitely the used dealer cause either they had no idea what those 10+ codes indicated or they cleared the codes to get a sale. Either way, they shouldn't be selling a vehicle to anyone, let alone a mother with children.
@@juarezderrick9647 doesn't excuse them lying to her. A gmc Acadia that still works properly is work about that much anyway so how would she know it was fucked?
It's the manufacturer not using resistor sparkplugs. You should always use resistor sparkplugs on interference engines, specifically to avoid timing issues and lean rich conditions.
Whoever sold her this vehicle is an A-hole. Considering the condition of the body, interior and exterior. Asking for a lil over $2000. They knew it had major engine issues. Depending if it's fixable or not. May only be worth scrap metal value.
I thought there was a law that when you sell a used for its with Full Disclosure! Maybe its only certain states? Oh also there used to be a thing called Car Facts where you could check online to see if there is any infor on said auto!🤠👍
From what I understand and I could very well be wrong but the tensioners go bad, the chains get stretched, and if both of those happen the engine will get put out of timing and it's basically a paperweight unless you own/you know someone that owns a machine shop.
It happens from lack of maintenance it’s all starts from timing chain slack once it’s lose it starts to slap the side of the case and the guides wear really weird and bad .. once it gets really lose it starts to jump teeth and break stuff.. always good to get new guides and tensioners on the timing chain every 120-150k miles
Lack of maintenance as the most problematic issue here. It all blows down to people taking care of their vehicles. We have interference motors now…. Once it jumps time it bends the valves…. He said in the video you might as well get a new motor.
The old classic buy a GMC Acadia and get screwed kinda video. There must be thousands of videos on UA-cam on Acadias being repaired. What POS's but everyone keeps buying them. Oh it's $5,000 cheaper than the Toyota?? Really?? SOLD!!! 1 week later, doesn't run or the engine grenaded! Oh crap!!! Oh just one more piece of karma - did you see that 1980's Toyota truck running in the background shot at 4:44?? Over 40 years old + and still running like new. 🤪🤪🤪
You literally heard she bought it with income money. I’m not here to argue I’m just here to say don’t judge. Not everyone is a technician or mechanic. And if you are completely honest with yourself, every car company has lemon cars. your prized possession company has been lying for 10 years about emissions.
Hate to seee this, I just bought a ford fusion. Talked to the owner over the phone telling me everything is excellent needs nothing blah blah blah, i needed a car and was renting one because of an accident.Had the same fusion last me 240,000 ran like new before the accident. Made the 2 hour drive, test drove and got lost in nostalgia, didnt notice some things. Drove it back, then noticed oil leaking from valve cover, ac not as cold as it should be and other things. I should have been more thorough but i usually am more trusting when someone gives me their word. But sometimes that means nothing these days. Hopefully this last me a couple lf years because i get the feeling it aint getting to 200000 😂
It's really hard to cover everything on the spot. Especially when you feel like you're holding the seller up or they are staying with you the whole time. I missed a massive tear in a rear bumper on the last one I bought. Not buying a car after dark again.
when you go to a car dealership and the used car sticker information says As Is you probably have a 50/50 chance of getting a mechanical mess or not . that is why I try to steer clear of that and get one with a limited warranty then purchase a extended warranty .
They should go back to belts much easier to change than a chain but I am sure manufacturers can build reliable they just refuse to they want the cars to fail after oh so much time to force more new car sales they want it to make it thru the warranty then go to the junkyard so it doesn't end up on the secondary market as a cheap option for someone
I bought a car that i thought was just a simple radiator leak. After buying a new radiator and then ended up buying coolant tank, head gasket set and new exhaust only to find out the piston rings were a problem. That just wiped me out financially and to the point i wanted to hang myself, In the end i had to face defeat and scrap it at a £2000 loss
Unfortunately these dealers target people that have unideal financial stations. They will approve anyone who walks in the door with a huge interest rate and sell them a steaming pile of shit that will blow up in a couple days and they did nothing but dump a bottle of armor all and tire shine on everything to dress it up. I purposely leave these types of dealers cars when they are brought to my shop outside overnight in the hopes that someone will break the windows out and trash the car so no one has to go through buying it. Scumbags and thieves. Lady did nothing wrong she just didn’t know how these dealers work unfortunately.
sad bro matt you need to make like another thing like where you go with people to help them buy cars so they dont get ripped off just an idea this is sad to see though
That sucks..... that dealership definitely knew that car was a piece of crap. That's how i became an auto mechanic from being ripped off from a bogus dealership. People please do a Pre inspection before buying, especially from a used car dealership.
I have a cheap Hyundai sonata it will probably be my last car it's a 04 V6 I'm going to do the timing belt and just care for it it's rediculous how expensive cars are getting and how they build cars that just won't last anymore I know they have to get more advanced with emissions but I assure you if they want them to last they can build them too I wish I could shame American manufacturers out of building unreliable cars these cars fail and leave people stranded constantly American sedans and small SUVs and CVTs need to be improved or taken off the market too there is no excuse in the modern era for unreliable cars they have proven they can build cars that will go 300+k right up to a million on regular maintenance but they just won't do it because they want the cars off the market faster to force more new sales
Also remember cvt's were designed for snowmobiles on snow which is a soft surface. Not sure why the engineers thought they would be fine on hard paved roads.
I can't stand that people do that to people what kind of scumbag do you have to be I need a car so I'm going to sell my broken car so I can get something that runs and give you my car that's no good for anybody but this way I'll be taken care of
That as is is only so applicable. Go see them and see what they say. Then if they don’t do the right thing, sue them. Get the media on them. Go to your local tv station involved

You should advertise to do diagnostic checks before people buy used cars. I would call you.
This is a great idea and business concept.

A pre-purchase inspection would have saved her thousands. If you're buying "as-is", always, always get a pre-purchase inspection done.
HOPE TO SEE AN UPDATE ON THIS VIDEO..
I thought there was a law that when you sell a used for its with Full Disclosure! Maybe its only certain states? Oh also there used to be a thing called Car Facts where you could check online to see if there is any infor on said auto!🤠👍
That really sucks most the time it always breaks something when the timing chain snaps worst part about a interference engine
I don't know why people keep buying these crappy vehicles those things are junk!
Because they don't know any better, they are desperate and need a vehicle
Shame on that dealer!!! Make them public and let people know. That's so bs.
Another timing issue lol , generally how do timing chains fail …? Could it not be the tensioner alone 😮 itself? Thanks hope u answer
People don’t change oil regularly. SMH. Also. Some of these vehicles being made just suck 💯… I see it all the time….
From what I understand and I could very well be wrong but the tensioners go bad, the chains get stretched, and if both of those happen the engine will get put out of timing and it's basically a paperweight unless you own/you know someone that owns a machine shop.

I had a E38 and my guides failed because of them plastic guides. Obviously irrelevent to this question though.

Matt, what happened to your truck
when you go to a car dealership and the used car sticker information says As Is you probably have a 50/50 chance of getting a mechanical mess or not . that is why I try to steer clear of that and get one with a limited warranty then purchase a extended warranty .
This is why you change your timing chain guides and tensioners every hundred thousandmiles
They should go back to belts much easier to change than a chain but I am sure manufacturers can build reliable they just refuse to they want the cars to fail after oh so much time to force more new car sales they want it to make it thru the warranty then go to the junkyard so it doesn't end up on the secondary market as a cheap option for someone
They can build chains that don't stretch but they won't do that either expensive and to reliable they want them to fail
Mercedes made tons of v8s that the chains last forever if the guides hold and is supplied with proper oil
I bought a car that i thought was just a simple radiator leak. After buying a new radiator and then ended up buying coolant tank, head gasket set and new exhaust only to find out the piston rings were a problem. That just wiped me out financially and to the point i wanted to hang myself, In the end i had to face defeat and scrap it at a £2000 loss
My equinox went in limp mode when my timing chain messed up.
