Video descriptions:
0:00 Intro
0:04 Customer States they "hit a curb and must have broken the exhaust pipe"
0:24 I hope they didn't drive far with all that oil leaking out
0:36 Customer came in stating that her oil level was at 0% then proceeded to pour in 6 quarts of oil. When the oil pressure gauge didn't go up she added more
0:51 Just like how they came out of the factory
0:59 Turned out the fuse box in the engine bay was full of water
1:11 Customer States "my car constantly makes this noise when the battery is connected"
1:27 At least it wasn't a zip tie prank on the owner
1:32 Mechanics wife states "Can you check on my car? I smell burning plastic"
1:43 That's going to be an expensive bill just for a tiny bit of plastic
1:58 Wheel bearing in two pieces, only thing holding this wheel on was the brake caliper bracket
2:09 Customer States "It suddenly just stopped working" This was definitely making quite a bit of noise before it quit
2:15 Customer States "I started my car up this morning and now it sounds like a helicopter"
2:27 At least they managed to drive it in before it majorly failed
2:50 Looks good to me
2:54 This is actually a recall issue with the steering coupler
3:01 This customer definitely needs a new shop as they are definitely not being honest
3:16 Might even need a new rim
3:23 Definitely an ancient alarm system going off but odd that the new battery set it off
3:57 Customer States "my dash lights turn on when I brake"
4:05 Outro

That alarm sounds like an old video game!
That's precisely what I was thinking. Sounds like Q-Bert or Space Invaders.
My thought as well...time to get the Atari 2600 out and play a few games!
That's a nice tune!
Sadly I'm old enough to remember them going of at all hours of the night due to dodgy owner installs ... you basically wanted to find the muppet owner and shove the siren where the sun don't shine ... 'specially as some of the alarms seemed to loop, and would go on for hours. (it was like donkey kong to space invaders to empire strikes back to mario to fake police sirens)
Add 50 cents to stop noise.
Dash lights coming on when braking is probably a dual filament bulb failed.
If the larger filament breaks and falls down onto the running light filament next to it, then the electricity will be shorted to the running light circuit and backfeed to the entire system. Had this happen on a dumptruck, dealer tried to replace the entire TIPM because it contains the brake light relay and flasher module....$1500. I opened the universal Jeep style taillight housing and just installed a new 1157 bulb.
One could say that this was a very alarming episode, right?
That second one reminded me of video games from the early 90s. Oh, the memories... 😅
RED ALARM. RED ALARM.

Always a treat to find a video from Customer States, Mechanical Nightmare. This CZcams channel never fails to make you think to yourself, I am never going to let these kind of things happen to my vehicle. Time to visit the real pros and have tem fix it right the first time. 👍🏻👍🏻
Dash lights turn on when you brake? usually an incorrect globe, most likely a single contact globe put in the double contact holder for the brake globe causing a short between the brake and park systems, the park system is connected to the dash lights.
my car does it but only when it’s been idling for a few min it’s dumb
@@ribar1738 sure sounds like it, that is a strage one, as a short circuit should not depend on the car idling for a short time unless it is a coincidence.
I would check that the brake lights are coming on independently without the park lights for that short time in between the engine start and the time that you notice the park lights coming on.
Also I would check the globes are correct anyway.
That alarm one was funny.
Sounded like a video game.
For the Semi, theres zero excuse for that driveline. Pre-trip inspection should have caught that before it got to that point.
that alarm tone slaps!
When screwing around in the AutoZone parking lot becomes a spectator sport.
That can be a form of entertainment: I've seen some very dumb people in action. Another one is... anyplace in South Carolina when a freeze hits. What's wrong with those people? Winter happens every single year, but they still don't believe it - an accident for every bridge is a bankable event. Add a little slope [such as an overpass] and its game over for the idiots: plant a lawn chair, crack open a beer, and watch the wrecks keep on comin'.
@@flinch622 Absolutely. It's the Super Bowl of Stupid.🍺
@@pistachiopoptarts 🤣
Electrical issues on a Peugeot?, what a rare thing! We had a Citroen Berlingo at work that needed new back doors (it had been in an accident), when it came back shutting the back doors caused the van to lock itself and as such it was prudent to never properly shut the back doors (it was being driven slowly around a holiday camp so it wasn't an issue to leave a door "on the latch") and leave a window open.
As a previous PGA owner, I’m thinking, that cranking when open the drivers door isn’t that bad. No joke.
@@Neptun2006 Well, at least it's trying to start!
Those near invisible rotors are just the perfect thing for paper thin metal. That is pretty crazy. I throw away rotors that look like new compared to these.
...... but the positive side is that there's a huge reduction in unsprung-weight to be made!

Safety inspections should be required in all 50 states
In PA we have them.
@@WilliamHollinger2019 Thats not going to stop stupidity that people do
We have safety inspections once a yaer here in Finland and i used to hate them so much. After watching this channel i have started to appreciate them lol
I used to hate them in the UK also, but since moving to the US I now miss them.
In the UK we have them once a year if the vehicle is 3 years old and it's every year until it is classed as a classic, but with how my country is run that might change and they'll completely ingor that status which in some cases may be best.
Another steering wheel holder skipping out on the daily inspections on that truck. It had to be noticeable. Unforgivable.
Given how close the driveshaft is to yeeting itself into traffic you just know they didn't just skip the inspection once or twice, they simply never bother. And even when the truck starts to shake itself apart they still keep driving it. Makes you wonder how they remember which orifice to put their food.
As an owner operator myself I can say it could be the lazy or on purpose technicians creating future work. I have a bad back & by relying on lube shops it happened to me too.
@@jodybrake8343Sadly there's always the possibility of getting screwed over by people you rely on, even if they're paid professionals. However you sound like someone responsible and knowledgeable enough to notice this issue long before it would become this bad.
@@MicraHakkinenThe best part was that it was leased out to USPS
It was a truck we have leased out to usps
Ive had the old dashlights when you brake issue after a shoddy job of wiring in a 4 flat trailer light hookup
The tiny piece of plastic in the vent? It would be called "this is your new normal" for me lol
many aftermarket alarm systems would go off when you disconnect, and re-connect the battery, as many thieves would disconnect to help with tripping the electronics, or they wanted to silence the alarm. this one sounds like ancient speakers full of sand... I'd remove it, it probably will cause problems soon.
I also always leave the drivers door open when connecting a battery, after witnessing the locks locking up once the battery connected, for unknown reasons... luckily the door was open back then. I've also had the electric windows all go up.
you never know what ideas the developers have at the construction plant...
Public Service Announcement right there 👍
The very last one is most likely some kind of short in the brake lights that's backfeeding the dash lights via the nighttime running light circuit. Weird.
That can happen with a dodgy brake/tail light bulb. If one filament comes loose & touches the other, there's the short circuit powering all park/side lights, with dashboard lights as well.
And these people are on the road with you and I.
Thank god only with you in the US.
A ground rod through the oil pan? Ouch.
1:51 nice sound mixing
we share the roads with these people,
stay safe out there folks
Bizarre problems to have.
How many times did the first guy hit that curb? And how tall was that curb?
the car that cranks when u open the door had me ded laughing
People say they pay so much for car payments, insurance, that they can't afford or too lazy to do maintenance on their vehicle. So they don't until they have major issues.
3:24 Nice disco music
3:25 i wish i had a michael winslow alarm for my car too
Funny that that jeep was so far over on oil I bought one last year and after my first oil change I found out it had 9 quarts of oil in it when it calls for 5 quarts
The guy with the sectional brake rotor didn't need new rotors.. he needed a rotor! That wasn't even half of one,how was that tire not locked up?😅
Peugeot is a french car manufacturer that is notorious for their electrical faults
I agree the fault here is strange, but there are a LOT of gremlins in french car electrics.
1:12 is like the car is farting lol
Shittiest part of the video, I reckon 😂
1:15 I wish my car made a noise like this too. Then I would much rather drive to work.
Old alarm has low power going to it. Old battery didnt have enough power for it to make any sound, new one does and WOOP WOOP WOOP
what a peugeot with electrical problems? unheard of....
3:24 Atari Sounds
Both the fart alarm and the 80s video game alarm seem like features. Fart alarm for whenever someone walks by the car, video game alarm for cute girls. Now how to install that....
Is tapper alarm on the chanse batriy
2:54 Was this intended to be a 'tick-tock' video?
My Hyundai makes the same noise. What is the fix?
Plastic coupling in steering column. Can be done at home.
Then your car appears on this channel torn to pieces because you tried to fix it without knowing how. LOL
Rainman Ray just did this exact repair maybe a month or two ago
$5-$10 part, can be done with basic tools and trim kit
(I believe you have to remove part of the trim by the legs to make it easier)
1:12
Cammed horn
👍
That alarm is a banget
1:03 is that a Kia?
(just jokes)
The hyundai is the steering gear coupler, a dollar part that is usually a 3 hour job
Not sure where you got your times from, but when I was at Hyundai we could get those done in 30-40 minutes on a YF Sonata. Lower the column down to the carpet without unhooking the steering shaft, pull the motor off the column, clean the old rubber out, put the new one in, put it all back together. If it was customer pay I would feel bad about charging more than 1.5hr.
These vehicle problems just prove that there is too much technology being used when one component that has nothing to do with another can cause a very high repair job. When rolling up the passenger window turns the radio on and off tells me there is some screwed up computer talk.
Actually the problems like this are usually very analog in nature - bare wires shorting out, ground loop problems, corrosion in the fuse box, that kind of thing. There IS a lot of tech in cars these days though, and a heck of a lot of wiring harness, and that means you get some really weird symptoms that can be hard to track down if you're not methodical. The way to tackle it is to work out what is common in both circuits, what is a possible link. For example the stop light turning the dash lights on - the dash lights probably turn on when you turn the tail lights on (normally). It's probably a dual fillament bulb in the rear (tail/stop). Most likely the stop light filament has broken and fallen across the tail light filament and is feeding power to the tail light, coincidentally lighting up the dash lights as well. The door open/starter issue is more of puzzle, probably wiring harness shorting somewhere. The ignition cable and the feed for the door lights probably all come through the same place in the firewall so that might be one place start. I think I'd isolate the circuit to the light and try to figure out which wire is shorting the circuit to the starter solenoid. I note that it continued to turn over after the door was shut, which would be the courtesy light keeping the power on to the light. Diagnosis *might* be as simple as metering the dome light and ig1 wire and tracing them back to find the short.
Management systems (computers) *do* fail of course, but it's usually a catastrophic failure - things actually *stop* working.
don't do it. I'm doin it. don't do it. I'm doin it. ok do it harder.
im waiting for the title of this channel to be changed to "customer states im a complete idiot, who doesent belong behind the wheel".because thats what the evidence strongly suggests.
This is too irritating to watch with the blurry side images taking up 2/3 of the screen! 👎👎
That Polestar is a great affirmation of my choice to NEVER get an electric car. Thanks mate!
@Mechanical Nightmare...
First and foremost...whoever is mixing your audio, they need to make sure that the video's audio doesn't drown out the narrator!! Several of the clips were very difficult to hear what the narrator was saying.
Secondly...why is your channel named mechanical (singular) nightmare when it should be called mechanical nightmares (plural or multiple) since you have a variety of mechanical clips to share?!?!?
Lastly...your narrator is just okay. I think you need somebody with a better voice to do your narration.
