You should see the looks people give you when the car is screeching, rattling, knocking and generally making all sorts of ugly noises. The strange thing is there were no lights, the oil light and cel stayed off and still aren't going on a few hours later but man, what a racket it's making. I can't figure out how to post the video I took so if anyone wants I'll email it to you so you can post it for me.
This sux, 4 people with 4 cars and only 1 works. The exhaust fell off our Durango two weeks ago and the Outback needs the entire brake system replaced, all 4 calipers and rotors and all 4 soft lines and it has now been sitting without moving for 2 years because I don't know how to do the work it needs. Good thing my daughters college just shut down for in person classes 30 minutes ago due to cases in the neighborhood where the school is.
Anyone have an early motor that they don't need? My car is an early 2013 build. I haven't worked since the middle of March so it needs to be cheap  |
DANG, there, gravitylover , sorry to hear that your car gave out on you -
Had it been through the recall?
Yes, do send me a sound file (humfrz@aol.com). I'll cry along with you.
Maybe you can find a mechanic that is out of work to help you fix the brakes on your Outback. Back in the day, when I was on hard economic times, I pulled parts off cars in the junk yard.
I hope you get back to work soon. You may consider a "stop the bleeding" job.
PS - Bubba suggests you fix up the exhaust of your Durango with a length of flex pipe -
