Video descriptions:
0:00 Intro
0:04 That's one expensive hit for this unlucky customer
0:19 Just a 'little' overdue on that brake pad and rotor job
0:43 We have no clue how these ended up here and the customer had no idea either
0:54 They of course supplied their own parts missing this one and still proceeded to drive it out the shop
1:02 Very lucky customer as brakes this bad is super dangerous
1:19 Wonder how long this shock was missing for before the customer brought it in
1:25 This timing belt was about to cause destruction if this mechanic did pick it up
1:37 Definitely looks like it got way too hot, check your oil level folks
1:44 That's one unhappy diff if I've ever seen one
2:01 Nice homemade 2 piece rotors the budget edition
2:15 This is going to be quite an expensive repair as they'll need to replace basically everything
2:33 This is why inspections on passenger vehicles need to be often
2:48 They must have been hearing this sloshing for ages
3:10 How could this pass quality control it's obviously damaged before they shipped it
3:25 Yup those are rocks in the fuel tank, I wish we knew why the person did it
3:30 That is 100% some rod/bearing knock so that engine is toast
3:44 I've never been a big fan of air suspension but usually Toyota is decent but not lately
4:00 Customer States "my prius engine does this when i start it"
4:13 Outro
#customerstates #mechanicfail #mechanicproblems
Technicians state: "I quit."
More I'd go "Yeah... time to call the cops and have these people arrested for driving a dangerous vehicle!" Which stuff like this, driving a vehicle like this IS a crime in many states.
@@christopherkidwell9817 So is them having a license.
Having a course on car maintenance should be part of the school curriculum. Even a one-time, 2-hour class could cover the basics of auto maintenance. Everyone would win, car owners, garage mechanics, and the parts industry.
It is called a driving school. No seriously, it should be teached there.
@dcdc358 Driving school can be expensive. Just 2 hours of auto maintenance theory could be fit in to grades 11 or 12.
It used to be part of the "being Dad" curriculum. Me an my wife (her dad taught her) have many enjoyable dad memories about our respective fathers' teaching us knee-high critters the car stuff.
@@bor3549 If the parents are academics or non mechanical , nothing to pass on ! Young men today don't work on cars like in the 1960s or 70s, they are glued to their tablets !
SHOP Class was taken out by the progressives in the 90s
The amount of people driving with horrible brakes is terrifying.
Horrible brakes, horrible tires, fiddling with their phone or the iPad mounted to the dashboard. Yeah it's driving time.
And I really can't understand why, as you can get very cheap aftermarket brake pads and rotors for pretty much any kind of car these days, they don't last as long as OEM parts but it's not a huge difference unless you're driving some powerful sports car or heavy duty truck.
These are the people next to you at the stop lights
@@Dr_V I know, I just bought ceramic pads and drilled and slotted rotors for my car. Paid less that 250 for all 4 tires. It's not hard they are just lazy and cheap.
I don't know if the fact that they either did not hear or feel them grinding for a month or that they ignored it and kept driving like that is more scary. We need to bring back annual vehicle brake and suspension safety inspections, at bare minimum.
This is my favorite place to go to get a laugh. I'm a retired mechanic I worked 52 years of it and it never ceases to amaze me when it comes to dumb people that drive. Thank you for your time
I also retired after 52 years, and I'm still amazed by the innovative ways people destroy cars.
@@allanszast7579 awesome I applaud you sir. Happy retirement brother
How it took so long for them to bring it in you ask? It's because they probably couldn't afford it to fool with it lol.
But NOW the cost of repairs will be double or more what it could have been!
I've done my own mechanical work myself for almost 60 years, but I surrounded myself with extremely competent mechanics. This video is like watching a horror movie 😂
3:22 this is part of an ongoing issue where companies are just shipping w/e comes out of the factories regardless of whether it has been through any quality checks... it is easier for them to apologize and send another than spend the time to make sure its good in the first place.
3:57 Vintage Citroen are infamous for the rubber part in this place. When it fails, the suspension strut shoots through the hood, vintage cars like the XM or Xantia get totaled.
The rod knock engines need to go to I DO CARS
Seriously. Subaru teardowns are always interesting. I assume that's what you're talking about. I thought it may have been piston slap. 🤷♂️
@@brandonroeder2461 it was not a good noise either way, and i dont remember the last time he did a subaru.
Is there any malice in the combustion palace?
I had a customer that went to a NASCAR race and after getting home couldn't fill his fuel tank, after extensive diagnosis on the fuel venting system we ended up determining that there was a blockage in the fuel filler neck which turned out to be a hot dog that was not fit for dinner.
Someone stuck a hot dog in the filler neck?
@@HighSierra1500 maybe he thought it was hungry
@@bradhaines3142 Cars are people too!
He obviously pissed someone off! FAFO
@@glasshalffull2930 Nope, it's one of the nicest customers ever. It was just some random prank, I am certain of that.
1:39 the new cylinder deactivation technology: cylinder evacuation
The problem with the Prius is the headgasket, i work at a Toyota dealership and we had quite a few come in with this problem. Once it has around 250k kilometers the headgasket goes out. We have cars here that we have done the headgasket twice already, around the 250k mark and then it lasted till 540k kilometers, customer still loves the car he said
I want to see more videos of these starting and also teardowns and head gasket replacement
From the sounds it made, odds are that motor needs a lot more than a gasket job.
@@jordananderson8299 Whilst he doesn't fix them, if your interested in seeing detailed teardowns of engines with issues that where run till they where junk check out the channel I Do Cars Some fo them are real doozies, even had a couple of smashed wristpins, which is pretty hard to do.
@@darthkarl99 cant go wrong with some malice in the combustion palace. 'oh yes the wrist pin, ready to go in another motor' and the water pump skits are actually great
@@bradhaines3142 Don't forget engine gravel, engine saue, and piston mcnuggets. Also rodney the connecting rod, and his friend, notrodney the disconnecting rod.
2:34 Alot of the Texas A&M buses have tires like that from scraping the curb. I called to report/complain and they sounded so confused.
I made at least 4 different safety violation reports, for the same issue on different busses, before I submitted this clip 💀. No one seems to care. If anyone finds themselves in Tempe AZ using public transportation, watch out.
ICE owner: takes 10 minutes to fill the tank! EV owner: LUCKY!!
To be fair, most EVs charge at home, overnight. EV owners never need to fill them during the day.
@@TheRealCatof I talked to a EV owner (I think Tesla, but I don't know) and asked how long their car had been charging at a rest stop. 4 hours!
@@NevilofMars Depends on the charger, but I always charge at home. Haven't spent any time fueling in 7 years now
I've gotta go Greyhound and leave the driving to them! Y'all pray for me!!! 😅
Technician States : Fuck this shit, I'm out
Episodes like this one are the reasons we will never have flying cars.
In my case, the reason it takes so long to take my car in to get repaired is money. The last time I drove my car, it did not leak anything when I left but when I got home, I can see a trail of transmission fluid. I do not want to ruin my transmission by driving it anymore but can't afford to take it in for repair either.
If you think it might be expensive now. Drive around a little more. Could be 200 now or 2500 later.
@@vampirejesus8170 it's parked. I am not driving it just for that reason. I may be low income, but I'm not stupid.
@marymulrooney1334 Wasn't implying that. But hope you get some cash soon to get back on the road.
This will be much more common as costs rise and the economy stumbles. Fuel, housing , food are becoming so expensive.
@@marymulrooney1334 look into doing it yourself. a lot of small things on some models are totally doable in a parking lot, and you could save enough money to buy every tool you need brand new and GOOD parts (dont go cheap, always bites you later) and still be ahead of what any shop will charge
As a life experienced under car mechanic shop owner, it BEWILDERS me how they don't hear or feel (IGNORE) issues.
Subaru making Subaru sounds. 👍
The Prius clip sounded like a Helicopter dropping off troops deep in the jungle
My ‘06 Mustang takes a while to fill. Something about the design and vent tube. Basically, the tank will half fill then click off. You gotta hold the hose 90-180 degrees and then continue to fill the remaining 7-8 gallons. I could get it fixed, or just deal with it… it’s been like that for 5 years. 😅
My Explorer did that. Fuel filler tube sucked to replace.
I have never required to check the air conditioning drain plug but I heard a bit of sloshing so got underneath and had a nice aircon water shower the other day 😂😂
that was in the door, im pretty sure it was full to the top lol. power windows had to have stopped working a long time ago
There’s no way I’d ever get on one of those charter buses there’s to many of those companies that do whatever they can to save a dime on maintenance 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
As a fellow EJ owner, Ouch!
And these cars and their drivers/ owners are out on public roads...?!? 🙄🤦🏻♀️
0:41 This is a gmc gmt800 2500 or 3500. Happened to me, these truck won`t sound or feel any different with all the pads gone and eating the rotors in the rear
*looks at video time* Nice
Some peoples pretrip= tires got air, brakes worked yesterday...
Knock knock? Who's there? It's Rod Rod who? ROD KNOCK Well shit!!
3:30 worn camshaft.
Ah, I thought maybe piston slap but I don't have enough experience. It seems intermittent.
@@brandonroeder2461 , no, camshaft ramps are worn and rocker arms or hydro lifters which are direct sliding on ramps, can not follow deformed worn ramps on higher engine revolution, so rocker arms or hydro lifters disengage and engage the ramp surface again and when engages the ramp surface again, it causes this knocking noise on higher engine revolution.
I had something similar happen to me except I got lucky and the 12 inch lag screw went out the sidewall of the tire. Everything else was okay.
A little surprised my honda civic never ended up on here
Prius said “eff it! I identify as a helicopter”
Ignore the noise as long as you can and maybe it will go away, no matter what it is
I worked on cars for years. I don't do it anymore because people are dumb and hard to deal with.
What was in the fuel filler?
The mechanic didn't even notice the brakes were on backwards also.
Brakes, I don’t need no stinking brakes. I can use the car in front of me to help me stop.
Or have you watched The Flintstones? 😂
2:50 water drain plugs? What car was that? why?
All car doors have a drain in them. If the drain gets blocked, the door fills with water. Water comes in through the gaps around the window seals.
@@Pyroteknikid true but you don’t have to remove a drain plug to drain them
@@robertheinkel6225 Usually no, but I'm not familiar with every vehicle. So that was not a door in the video, then?
@@Pyroteknikid it was definitely a door, you can tell by the tire to the right of it
@@robertheinkel6225 he didnt say remove a plug, he said if the drain gets blocked.
2:02 THE BIKINI ROTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait till you get a Toyota that pulled the head bolt threads for no reason and is now pissing coolant???fyi never use heli coils. They make a thread cert setup for them.
If it makes a noise, go to the garage asap, or it will cost 5 times more 3 months later!!
Didn't know Toyota sold diesel Prius cars!
Misleading title
That Toyota strut is going to be VERY expensive. It is one of those adjustable electronic POS.
People learn how to film in landscape
You’re going to have to explain to them what landscape is. I know it’s not that tough but SOME PEOPLE !!!
The USA clearly does not have a system of an obligatory annual checkup, have you? Here in Europe (communism, mind!) it is required to have your car checked according to prescription. Apart from engine and dashboard issues, the majority of the issues shown are eyepoppin' to a European.
There are some states that require annual inspections
Car drain plugs? Drains shouldn't be plugged. Not sure what's going on with the narration.
Please, drop the 'humorous' commentary?
"Customer States It Takes 10 Minutes To Fill The Fuel Tank" Then you show the 3 second clip.👎
What you want the full 10 min video of them filling the tank?? It’s one of the few weird one off issues so it’s what’s going to get the most clicks. Or would you like him to title the video “customer states I hear a knocking noise”?
Only 10 minutes? How can you even get the nozzle in to put in any fuel?
Do the Americans not have to have their cars checked every year for compliance with the law and motor vehicle safety standards here in the UK? Every car over three year old has to be checked every year and if it fails it is not allowed to be driven on the road and it is made compliance with the law again. I just get the impression from these videos from the good old USA that there is either very poor standards no standards at all or some states/parts of the country. No reason or need to take safety test on your vehicle every year.
I rather not live in a nanny country.
@@KM-os4be You'd rather risk some fool destroy your family in an "accident" because he let his brake disks completely wear away so he could save a few bucks. You live in a country full of geniuses
We got rid of the annual state inspection in Texas recently. So you can basically drive around with a pickup truck with bald tires and plow into a family of four any day of the week if you feel like it.
Only about 3 states do inspections in the US not like the uk
With the state of some of these cars, you are lucky to still be here.
"Customer States It Takes 10 Minutes To Fill The Fuel Tank" .....EV owner hold my beer.
Welcome to Bidenomics!!!!!
Good cult member!
@@nickTeeKaystrickland says another cult member
@@bradhaines3142 which cult would that be? 🤦🏼♂️
3:44. No, Toyotas are trash cars that only the US gets excited about. They stopped being good several years ago.
I'll admit to watching the videos on the channel but I will not subscribe because of "staged" mechanical failures
Staged in what way?
i just dont see the point in subscribing to someone that just takes videos other people made and slaps them together.
as far as slow fill gas tanks, I have found people overfilling gas tanks and getting raw fuel in the vent assembly cause the vent to stick closed to be the cause.
