Each photo & video described.
These videos are meant to be educational but also funny, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
0:00 Intro - Click show more under the video to read more.
0:05 A new engine will be installed under warranty. Unfortunately, they are back ordered and the customer will be waiting quite a while for a new engine.
0:25 Toyota Sienna van. The technician said if he gets a sound clip of the exhaust ever he will share it with us as I'm sure it sounds hilarious!
0:42 The customer wrote off their Chrysler 300 when they got into an accident.
0:57 OEM lower control arm bushings were installed by the technician. The cheap ones the customer bought were made a little big so they were rubbing against other suspension components.
1:15 "Crank no start. Needed a fuel rail originally. But then needed all the intake pieces due to the mass amount of spray paint."
1:25 The engine had a bad engine mount and it caused a wiring harness to rub through which is why the customer had electrical problems and kept adding bigger fuses.
1:36 The clutch exploded in multiple pieces and broke the bell housing of the transmission. The customer most likely drove the Mustang pretty hard to cause this to happen.
1:49 The technician replaced the bushing which only cost $3 for the part.
2:01 No extra info.
2:08 The vehicle did not have a steering wheel lock, only this bike lock to the seat and seat rail.
2:12 The technician thinks that they maybe had fireworks that hit the hood of their car.
2:24 The customer had just purchased this vehicle from a used car lot, so they went back there to try and get their brakes replaced.
2:32 The technician said it had 3 bald tires and 1 new one, which may have been the culprit as to why the PTU (power transfer unit) broke. The power transfer unit sends power from the front wheels to the rear so the vehicle is AWD.
2:44 An easy fix but the technician had a good laugh when he saw this.
2:54 "A woman gets into an SUV that has two slanted rear wheels. She pulls out of her parking spot and drives away."

Hope you guys have a great weekend! Submit your clips/photos at www.justrolledinyt.com
I have an explanation for the first clip. If you watch a channel called Uncle Tony's Garage, he's been experiencing the same problem since covid started; what he reckons is that since they shifted manufacture of car parts to overseas in Asia, they are cheaping-out on the quality of molds for parts. To make matters worse, there are shortages on all those parts for the same reason, inferior quality. Things like drive gears, shafts, couplings etc.
This information is based on his video "Is It Time To Hit The Panic Button?" where he addresses faulty parts at the level of distribution; he has a second video addressing this where he says "the easiest way to cripple a nation is to make it dependent on a method of travel and then take it away from them."
@@Nosferdamus Most engines do not just give up, blow up they give you plenty of warning, vibrations, bogging down etc. However people do not pay attention and just carry on, or they are to interested in their music system.
How I wish there were nationwide inspections. The livelihood of the public would benefit.
@@tonysheerness2427 you should watch the video, he shows how one small vibration problem turned out to be a crack in a timing gear.
so he figures it was a bad gear and orders a new one.
the new one arrives with the same crack in it.
so he figures its a bad order and just goes to an auto parts store and tries to get a replacement timing gear.
he cant find one and no one has one because they are all being shipped with these hairline cracks which WILL cause them to break in no time at all.
The number of dangerous vehicles driving down the road is terrifying
Must agree
Clips like these are why some states have mandatory regular inspections.
Almost as terrifying as the millions of INEPT drivers I see anymore... At least 30% of them should be given bus passes...
I've seen a guy rolling on 3 lug nuts out of 5, but he had them all to one side, not even across.
As a 20+ year mechanic, I can 💯 say.. you have no idea
In Canada, there’s an astronomical amount of GM 6.2L engines failing. There’s a few TSB’s about it. There was a run of improperly machined crankshafts and blocks causing the issue and they also had a run of thrust bearing failures also causing the issue. GM is aware but getting parts to repair the engines or to replace the engines is a nightmare. Most of the failures are happening before the vehicles first oil change.
thats the power of american manufacturing!
i wonder if the steel gave consent to be turned into a crankshaft? it may have identified as a weapon of mass destruction. iunno...
gimme the old chev, from about 1970 or earlier. when the workers had some sort of pride still. the machines hadnt worn out. the metal was up to standard.
Thanks for the info, Eric.
Thanks Eric. Bunch of people screaming shitty metal in the cranks, which is 100% possible but even the best materials can/will break if they're out of tolerance.
@@paradiselost9946 lmao
@@paradiselost9946 you mean “before reagan-era lobbying and deregulation allowed outsourced chinese/russian/indonesian material and labor to eclipse the value of domestic industry,” right?
also your weird “identifies as xxxxx” joke just made it startlingly obvious you’re 70 years old with a 15 year old’s sense of humor.
When there's someone who thinks "fuse keeps blowing, must need a bigger one" I'm amazed they even know what fuses are.
They are copper and have Lincoln's head on them right?
@@patricktrimble7954 nah. pointy at one end, flat at the other, about an inch long...
oh yeah, im old school and still use those glas... steel bar ones :)
@@patricktrimble7954those are only house fuses. Car fuses get wrapped with tin foil.
@@paradiselost9946 few years ago I went through an abandoned railroad round house (it got torn down a year or two later). Found some old fuses. bigger than my fist in the main electric box of the place.
They know what they are but don’t understand what they are for.
"...customer kept adding bigger fuses..."
Keep that customer away from anything more dangerous than crayons in the future, please.
Are you nuts? Do you know how flammable crayons are? They can't be trusted beyond a magna doodle
Crayons are flammable and can be used as a candle in emergency situations. Thought you should know..
Probably that customer will eat the crayons thinking that's some kind of fruit...
@@13bgunbunny46that just means they’ll burn their onion ring when they inevitably shove them up their asshole

Proving beyond doubt that some people really are sprinkling copious amounts of stupid sauce on their food.
Stupid sauce 😂
They got to be smoking it......🤗
maybe its just the years of lead exposure finally showing up, but me? i dont recall people being this stupid when super was leaded... so maybe its the unnamed aromatics they use instead of TEL doing it? cus i sure see a lot of stoopid!
then again, teh majority live on plastic and industrial waste sold as "fast food" so maybe its got nothing to do with TEL at all!
*pours a few cans of avgas in the tank just in case*
mmm, mmm, lead. all those years in the back of a leaking panelvan didnt do me no harm!
Fixing cars can be hard. But fixing stupid is impossible.
I want the person or people making Stupid Pills to STOP IT!
There's a lot of yikes on this list but the last one had me worried to death for all those poor drivers
I would 10000000000000000000000% call the cops. Sorry not sorry, that shit *IS* going to kill someone.
I on the road everyday, it’s when these idiots do 90mph and tailgate! I pray I’m not this first at the accident.
The door dash sticker in the rear window terrifies me, is this thing driving all over town making deliveries!?
@@potatosordfighter666You've never had to deal with police in Ohio. They will hang up on you if they're being nice.
@@Normandy1944No, it's in northern Ohio. They not only have no inspections but also some cities are no longer coming out to accidents unless someone is dead or a hit and run.
You know, it's one thing to HEAR "customer drove the car away"... but it's something else to SEE it. That last clip was honestly shocking, that lady just hopped in her car without a glance at that wheel! And drove it away like it wasn't nothing! It's enough to get a guy paranoid.
That's just some sweet camber
Nah, she most likely has looked at it, but doesn't care. That's even worse.
Whop whop whop, Gangnum style! Backwards, with a coffee cup sitting on the stylus.
How much do you want to bet that that van will soon be in another video dragging that left rear wheel down the interstate at 70mph+?
And if you would have said something to her, she would have gone off like a angry KAREN on the guy videoing her.
Never fails. “Customer declined all repairs”
That home-made exhaust must have a HECK of a back-pressure when it was once fully connected!
Yeah! That and when the customer won't disclose what caused the damage. lol! Makes the imagination run wild.
@@MonkeyJedi99First time I’ve seen plumbing pipe used for an exhaust, no surprise it blew itself apart. No way that thing could’ve ran very well when it was first connected.
Should have their car impounded
@@jasonoshima6839 In the UK, the shop is entitled to prevent the vehicle from being driven away if they feel it is unsafe to drive.
1:40 Just a little extra info on the GT350 (it’s from the shop I work at). The customer had it for a month and when it left the shop it was perfect with a fresh set of tires. When it came in like this the rear fender wells were coated in rubber and the tires were killed….we all did the easy math. He still swore he had babied it the whole time. A little extra bit of fun…..he declined any extended/aftermarket warranty when he bought it…
Not super surprised 😂😂 'I swear it only drove nanna to church in it' hahaha they still come with the ol burnout button from factory in the us? 😂😂
He wasn't smoking the tires on his last burnout, lol. He's lucky he still has legs.
I was at a dealership where a guy was in appologizing to the staff for yelling at them. He'd had his Dodge repaired and swore he never drove it hard but the dealer/factory only covered part of the warranty. It turns out he was correct. His "non driving" teenager was stealing it from the garage.
@@cb84capriback in high school, a guy I knew, blew a clutch, that took out his wiper motor and hood. He also got lucky that his went up, and not sideways.
I wouldn't doubt he participates in one of those Street takeovers
I was waiting for you to mention at some point that a customer that turned down service got into an accident 😳
Same here. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner
I have to admit, as soon as I heard that, I was hoping that customer ist serving jailtime for negligence and endangering other drivers.
Honestly, I'll bet a lot of them the mechanics just haven't *heard* about the accident.
@@ferrari2k "that customer ist" - Leaving us in suspense whether you meant "is" or isn't" by going halfway between the two!
Given the state of some of these vehicles and the fact that most of the customers complaints happen when driving on an interstate...
I'm sure there's a number of customers that decline repairs that end up no longer able to be customers...
So we’ve had a few customers accidentally shoot a hole in their car, now we have “a bomb went off on the hood”.
I'm thinking someone played William Tell with a load of tannerite on the hood of their car.
Turns out some of those customers also have grenade launchers!
I'm watiing for the "yeah I kind of driven over a landmine, wasn't that bad though" with the entire front end torn off.
Probably collateral from The Avengers...
I'm wondering if it was Tannerite or a dry ice bomb in a bottle.
So now I am wondering, which color spray paint actually is the best one to get a diesel pickup engine started. 🤔
None 😂
I think it depends on the manufacturer.
Red, for go faster.
@@HesmiyuMC Gold. According to an actual paint huffer I was friends of a friend with back in high school. Stands to reason it might be the best one to start a car with as the same chemicals that made it more effective for huffing are the same ones the engine would burn more effectively.
@@HesmiyuMC Based 40K enjoyer
Customer states video is awesome 😉👍
Thank you!
0:39 And that is when you demand that they sign a document stating they had refused repair.
I mean it's not that big of a safety concern since it's just exhaust... although with that much rust I guess its likely that some other stuff has issues too
The Suburban with the broken crankshaft. Did anybody else notice how porous the steel is on the crankshaft? No wonder they are breaking!
Looks like a future recall.
That's just how cast iron looks when it breaks
@@gregsmith332 Is it safety related?
Ya, a crankshaft shouldnt look like an old piece of cast iron cutlery...
that's not porosity, that's crystallinity typical of low quality steel or iron.
The duck in the spare tire bay was pretty funny, haha.
"5 different colours of spray paint to get it started" that took me a moment for it to click, lol
If “blowing up” is the same as “shutting off” I get the Suburban owner’s complaint 😶🌫️
that's just the GM way
Thats not a check engine light on your suburban its a change engine light….
Blow'd up real good!
Man, GM was amazing back in the day, especially their trucks, c-10s, Suburbans, Blazers, gmt400’s, earlier Silverados, s-10s, etc. all of those refuse to ever stop running and drive past all the broken down vehicles, now shit like this is going on smh.
Edit: the GMT900 models 2007-2014 (still rather modern) seems to be the last generation that for the most part had the bulletproof durability/reliability I described, i had a 2010 Suburban with 235k, drove it constantly, lots of long drives and it refused to ever break, always ran perfectly and that’s nothing compared to the countless 500k+ mile reports on these suburbans without any major repairs. After 2014 though, it seems to have gone downhill.
@@oldfag_adventures grow up. fords and dodges do the same. all new cars are garbage. it's the mandatory gov. standards put on new cars/trucks that made them junk, brand new junk, but junk none the less. i'll have you know, i bought a brand new '88' gmc pickup in the fall of '87'. i finally sold it 6 years ago. ya know what went into it? brakes, oil changes and general maintenance. nothing more. it's still driving around too. the 'new' truck i bought? an '01' silverado pickup. no major work done on it. pushing 300k at that. oh, while i recently retired, i'm a retired home remodeling contractor. i worked them hard. very hard. i wouldn't buy anything newer than '07'. no matter the make. why? because i want a dependable vehicle.
The first one is unbelievable. Four brand new vehicles with catastrophic engine failures. But hey, in GM's defense, how long do you expect $50,000- $70,000+ trucks to last?!?😁😉
They would be fully warranted repairs with fresh engines, I would hope.
@@peterdarr383 Fantastic! Loss of use of vehicle, yeah, I know...loaner/rental. A new vehicle completely disassembled, hopefully reassembled properly, vehicle history will show engine replacement. Definitely not a confidence enhancer if trying to sell/trade vehicle in the future. Most laymen see this on a Carfax report and will keep looking. And if course, what could be next?!
10 minutes or 10 miles, whatever comes first.
Gm is surely not the best quality but for four totaled engines he must do something unhealthy for the engines
It's an issue with a specific range of production dates specified in the TSB. Kind of like Toyota putting out a TSB when engines in a specific production date range began to fail due to the pistons seizing in the engine block.
A 1mm brake rotor! Genius.
yeah, the thin rotor allows for extra thick brake pads to be installed which should make them last a lot longer.
New gov regulation to meet fuel economy standards.
Razor blade thin.
weight saving. fuel is getting expensive after all.
Low thermal mass, rapid cooling technology.
I swear that last one is here in Ohio, where if we had state inspections on private vehicles we'd only have half as many cars on the road.🤦🏼♀️
Wrong. The people that drive broke down rust buckets are the same ones that skip inspections and insurance and just drive on expired tags. Nothing would change except to waste everyone else's time. The government's own studies between inspection and non-inspections states show no measurable difference in safety what-so-ever.
2:25 gives brake disc a whole new meaning, lol!
I can imagine the report of the guy who cable-locked his seat to the car. "Technician advised calling The Lock Picking Lawyer but customer refused repairs."
Unbelievable stuff! That brake rotor looked like it belonged on a bicycle.
I’m shocked that rotor even managed to make it at the shop. That person should never own or drive any vehicles again in their lives!
The ones on bicycles are thicker that that.
Or a circular saw...
The brake rotor on my atv is thicker...
I've heard of F1 cars getting quite thin in the rotor at tracks like Montréal, but probably not *that* thin
Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you!
With great work, we would not have anything to laugh at.
Good video though.
That isn't a brake rotor - it's a bacon slicer!
Its also the perfect tool for slicing potatoes for frying up the best potato chips, sliced onions, carrots, cucumbers & more
That looks similar to the rotors of my mountainbike - but mine are stainless steel and the bike don't weight 2 t
These videos always make me feel better about my mechanical abilities.
don't do what those customers do simple🤣🤣🤣
As a truck driver I can honestly tell you what scares me the most are the drivers and NOT their vehicles.... had a female almost blow a stop sign on me today! 2015ish white Ford f150 that I would have smoked driver side. I was empty (28000lbs) going 30mph. Yes, maintenance is important, but what really helps is awareness #GetOffYourPhone
You are on spot, stay safe out there.
I see many big rig drivers that need a good ass whipping.
''had a female'' neckbeard incel detected.
The stupid drivers can make an impression that everyone's like that... And yet, most of my driving is trouble-free. *Most, not all.*
Yep this! Had someone run a stop sign going about 45 in a 30 yesterday. Something told me to wait a bit longer than I normally do and sure as hell here she comes.
The duck was really funny.
That's one clean 8N at the end. Always love to see em
At 2:51 I actually ran around my shop laughing...this is hilarious...and concerning at the same time....but hilarious!
youd think that if you have no idea what youre doing youd at least take a damn picture before you disassemble and replace lmfao
@@stunningandbrave3527 But they don't know what they're doing, so taking a picture is still asking too much from them.

2:56 Next time you order Doordash, just remember it could be getting delivered in that deathtrap. Based on the look of the vehicle and the driver, I’m sure it’s very clean and sanitary inside

"Tried using five different colors of spray paint to get it started." 😂😂😂
Somehow I always feel better watching these videos and I actually learn things from other people's mistakes too highly satisfying!! THANK YOU
yeah other people show you what happens if you do not do the proper maintenance on your car so you don't have to find out the expensive way gotta love how they are willing to do it so you don't have to🤣🤣🤣
And the ABSOLUTE CARNAGE continues! Thanks for the laughs, the gasps, and the cringe!
1:15 Spray paint- it's not just for breakfast anymore.
0:07 Great job GM! (Coming from a lifelong gm user too) Some of the new stuff is such crap
It isn't GM's fault that the climate emergency clowns in government are making manufacturers hit 50+ mpg cafe standards. Look at the garbage Ford is putting on their engines to try to make the government happy, 5.0's with cylinder deactivation and rubber belt driven oil pumps in the crankcase.
Again one of the classic cases of: "I literally value my own and other peoples lives to be less of what that relatively inexpensive fix costs."
Or, cars are expensive and there are no other reasonable options in most of the US, so people do what they can to keep living.
If only these people actually think like this. No, that is giving them too much credit, they are far too ignorant to even humor that kind of logic
That lady's van has given up on life
It knows it's limits.
It's tired of being sat in
I like the "stance" on the van...
Now off to the shed to fit the new springs and shocks on my Pajero.. 😂
The guy using spray paint as starting fluid is hilarious. The brake rotor that looked like a 45 RPM record is terrifying
Me pulling up to my repair shop: "Repair anything considering"
These people who drove their car to the shop: "Fix anything that stops me from going to the McDonald's"
OK, i saw the thumbnail and thought you were holding some kind of bushing. I was NOT expecting a piece of crankshaft! Goddamn!
Later in the video: hopw does one split open a bellhousing? Did it throw pieces of clutch?? Unfortunately that brake rotor later on is not at all surprising!
This channel is the best sales pitch for high underinsured no insurance autocoverage
GM's been having a LOT of issues with the new 6.2's. I'm replacing one right now that the bearings burnt out of....
How long is it taking to get parts or engines for them? I've heard it's taking forever.
@@JustRolledIn This one took about 8 weeks to show up, but I'm in Canada. A lot of parts for newer vehicles are taking a while. "SPAC".
First one is lifter and pushrod failure. Happened to me in my new Silverado. The lifter failed badly and jammed up the pushrod, valves hit the deck and bent and then broke. Jammed into the piston hole and explored the block basically. And all I did was start it in my driveway and it blew up. Was not even driving it. 2021 Silverado 1500btw. Literally woke up for work and went to leave and boom. Neighbours ran out thinking my car exploded.
Modern truck engines they have cylinder shutdown programmed in to save fuel and a lot of engine builders think it's the cause of modern lifter failures. The theory is when the really hot oil from the front cyl gets shot back to the cyls that were shut down say upon full throttle acceleration for a overtake, those parts have now cooled, although slightly, the really hot oil hits the colder metal and causes small fractures in the lifter arm. Over time it gets bigger and bigger until it eventually fails badly. It's only a theory but would explain why its always the rear half of the deck that gets destoryed. (Rear cyl get shut down during eco mode/low rpm highway driving etc)
On the big trucks and performance cars they just need to delete that cyl shutdown mode from them and it should solve the issue. I had the same thing happen on a jeep trackhawk I owned 3 years ago. Was just driving along the highway, went to pass someone gave it some beans and boom. Car was completely stock. Needed a new engine not 3000kms in.
Again the techs said they have been seeing a lot of the rear block failures and they think it's due to the eco mode programmed into the ecu.
The Trackhawk (6.2L supercharged engine) didn't have cylinder deactivation so your failure would have been from something else.
@@stingrayl82 yes it did dude, I owned one, it absolutely had it at least in the 2018s. It has an eco mode that it snaps into when you are cruising below certian rpm it would flash green at you when it was doing so on the dash. It may not have the cyl deactivation but it damn sure has an eco mode that messes with timing, shifting points, power delivery etc. Same thing really.
Scary number of brand-new vehicles suffering catastrophic breakdowns. Should be zero.
The power definitely was transferred on the Ford.
Whats even more dangerous is everyone on their dang phones while driving.
There is a point where the fuse becomes the protected part and the wiring the protected part.
Wow, goes to show whats passing you by.
So much for those commercials Ebay is running, saying they have all the right parts 🤣
2:24 - That's not a brake rotor, that's a pizza slicer.
2:55 - Whoa, that's scary! Rear axle probably snapped after rotting through. Looks like it had a hacked-together "repair" that failed, as hacked-together "repairs" often do.
Guy didn’t have starter fluid, but did have plenty of Krylon.
That was the problem! He should have used Rustoleum.
@@61rampy65 I find that Colorplace takes days to dry. So that would be the fluid spray I’d choose.
Chevy 6.2L's grenading all over the place.
Yep. Taking forever to get new engines also 😅
There's are rumor at the company I work at that our fleet is getting renewed with Chevy trucks. Im petrified at the thought that the fleet might be nothing but a bunch of 6.2s.

Well, they just want their profits and don't about quality.
Love these videos. Keep them coming. 💯👍
I'm glad you're back🤠
Thanks! I posted another video earlier this week as well 😄
I figure there's at least three types of owners in these videos. The "bad decision" owner, like whoever spraypainted into their intake. There's the innocent owner like the Suburban with the blown up engine. And I am assuming the "too poor to fix it," and I am trying to not sound degrading at all. But the lady at the end probably knows there's something wrong with the wheel, and simply can't afford to fix it. It's like they say, being poor is expensive.
But ignoring a $ 200 repair to avoid the costs until it is a $ 3000 repair is never a way to go. Then you just cannot afford a car and you should think about a scooter.
Being willingly ignorant is expensive, and leads to being poor.
Makes me feel good about driving on public roads.
Some real shockers in this one, thanks dude 😊
all those clips were so crazy, I had to watch it twice!
I'll never understand why people can't grasp the concept that fuses are there for a reason... If one blows that means there's an issue, not jam a bigger one or coin, bullet, whatever you can find in there!
What is going on over at GM? Chevy engines were always known to be damn near bulletproof, they just tend to be leaky when they're old.
Press 1 for English...
Press 2 for non woke designers
I watch these all the time and still I just shake my head.
Without the accompanying videos, I would not believe this was possible. --- thanks for the great upload. ---
Goes to prove that they sure don't make em like they used to. I believe car engineers and designers are outsmarting themselves with lighter weight parts which are also weaker, and increasing the horsepower and torque output. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
I still drive a 1982 pontiac parisienne that has given me very little trouble. I also keep up the basic maintenance. No problem!😊
Thanks for another great installment of just rolled in!👍👍
Man, older vehicles are just where it's at. I picked up a 2004 Grand Cherokee Limited a few years ago and threw a ton of new parts on it and it has been fantastic to me. I just acquired my uncle's old 2002 Silverado Z71 with the 5.3 and I'm looking forward to throwing a bunch of new parts at it as well. Maintaining these older vehicles is cheap (by comparison to new) and it's very satisfying fixing them up.
oooooh, parisienne... fond memories of laying under a lemans, trans am, and finally getting that damn parisienne running....
only for the idiot to spin out in the paddock and plant it into a rock backwards and take out the tank.
no idea what year, had that typical 60s look.
yknow what happened?
they got shoved on the back of a truck and scrapped. effing. wtf.
Based on the American cars my dad used to buy, they saved time back then by breaking them at the factory! I remember his Fairmont with the parking brake that didn't work when he picked it up new. Dealership couldn't fix it.

Blame the regulations. When the government requires higher mileage, engineers use lighter parts.
I'm always amazed at the mechanically and structurally deficient vehicles that are on the road. The thing that worries me the most is that they are out there with our parents, siblings, aunts, uncles and grandparents. Get your vehicle inspected and be careful out there.
Mandatory yearly inspections are a legal requirement in most countries.

GM cheapens out on quaity along with their not made in America vehicles.
Also if that guy with the broken control arm hit someone, hope the person who got hit filed a lawsuit. Going to be interesting when the lawyer discovered that the guy declined the repairs.
5 colors?! I see the problem. You need the gold, red is only for cold days 😌
I know the EXACT problem of that first one. It's called "trying to save money".
1:39 "Scrap if dropped" What does that mean? Is it a kind of indicator like some seatbelts have after they've stretched after an accident to indicate it needs replacing?
That label is put on parts where balance is critical and any little ding or dent could throw the balance off. It means that if you accidentally drop the part on the floor you need to throw it out.
It means exactly what it says. If you drop the part and it hits the ground, it's no longer to be used. In this case it looks like an aluminum casting, it's not a balance issue so much as "it might crack which will lead to failure" issue. A lot of weight saving effort went into the GT 350 design and this is why only specialty cars get that kind of treatment typically.
I've seen a car in front of me like the one in the last one driving for several miles only they were crabbing pretty severely
It blows my mind how people don't investigate at all before they bring it into the shop. Some of these would take 0.05 seconds to figure out
These videos always remind me of a quote from Terminator 2:

Wow… just, wow. Some of these drivers will kill innocent people someday😢.
Thanks for keeping me focused.

Thanks for watching!
Thats Chevy quality for you
Your channel always makes my day brighter. Maybe that's from the 100 amp fuses I installed in my car ;-)
A prayer for that last wheel bearing xx
This is scarier than Halloween or Friday the 13th...
Didn’t he know that it’s always the chrome spray paint to start a diesel.
When the GM gernading v8 story hits the news well know where we herd it first!
GM's got problems with that mess at the beginning! "Nobody skips the quality like GMChina".
Poor door dash lady can’t afford to either fix her van, or have it out of service for that long. Unfortunately, things will become a whole lot worse once the van is totaled.
Yeah, people don't tip.
I wonder what the exhaust that was necked down to a 1/2" pipe would've sounded like... Also last clip, that's just a normal Ohio city driven Dodge for you.
With the back-pressure it would have created? Probably (crank-crank-crank--- dead battery)
garage54 answers all questions of this nature!
it actually... woulda held them back at the top end but otherwise not much? bit squeaky at the gaskets maybe.
it actually is amazing how much you can block an exhaust and keep running.
@@paradiselost9946 Reminds me of that scene in the 1970s "The Day of the Jackal" movie where the assassin puts the rifle in the exhaust pipe. Only, it seemed like the exhaust was completely stuffed with the gun.
Sweet little tractor in the end picture clip. I love those Fords.

American shop customers and used cars never fail to amaze me as a german mechanic.
Not all of these stories are from America friend.
might wanna learn that america is a continent and not just the united states.
@@expl0sive296 "America" is not a continent. North America is a continent, South America is a continent. "America" is short for United States of America, it's not that hard, even a foreigner should be able to grasp it.

If you have a 2023 model and have a problem, wouldn't you take it back to the dealer instead of a local mechanic since your car should still be on warranty?
That was at the dealership.
Customer refused service:
Those vehicles probably ended up on their front yards as lawn ornaments!
😂😵😝
Hi, I will say this. Never put higher amperage fuses in when they break. Under normal operation, a fuse won't break. If a fuse keeps breaking that's not a fuse problem. That's a circuit problem. The fuse is just protecting the faulty circuit. Increasing the max amp limit is a really stupid idea because the circuit is already faulty it will cause even more problems.
Folks always remember that these irresponsible people driving these horrendously unsafe vehicles are among you and your family on the roads every single day. Truly scary stuff! I’m a certified inspector that lives in a state with required annual inspections that also shares a nearby border with a state that doesn’t. There’s no doubt that annual inspections help. However there’s still a ton of incredibly unsafe vehicles that I check, and if the customer declines the repair, there’s literally nothing I can do to stop them leaving. More then once I’ve seen cars I had recently inspected and rejected, crashed into another car within a day or two. The truly sad thing is that often the people that get hit seem to receive the majority of the damage and or injuries. I truly truly hope no one has been seriously injured or killed because of these irresponsible drivers but I’m willing to bet they have. I’ve had customers drive out of the shop with literally a parking brake as their only means of deceleration. I wish there was more I could to stop the worst offenders, but I can’t.
Surely that fact the vehicle requires an inspection means that if it passes it can go on the road.
If it fails then it should not leave the test centre?
How would you you feel if the car was then in a RTC and killed a loved one?
You really need a more powerful law to allow you to prohibit the failed vehicles from leaving the inspection area.
Just a thought.
With the UK test process, if your car fails the test you can only drive it away if none of the reasons for failing is classified as dangerous and the previous test certificate has not expired. But you must take it to be repaired and then have it retested.
When I saw the word 'mandatory' I was assuming it was like the UK model; but if you can drive away when it's not fit to drive then that's absolutely insane! So you just inspect every year but you don't have to do anything about it?
To clarify to everyone here, the annual inspections are mandatory and the majority of people who don’t want to be on the wrong side of the law do get their vehicles brought up to minimum safe standards. However, if a customer refuses the repairs all I can personally do is put a rejection sticker on it. With this sticker It is illegal to drive the vehicle anywhere other than from the shop to home or from home to the shop. I think it’s safe to say that many people ignore that part and unless the police stop them, which does happen, there’s nothing physically preventing them from driving it.

Ah so it is the same - crazy that people ignore it!
