  1. I remember years ago had a Chrysler mini van. Had a vibration took it in 6 to 7 different times, same mechanic kept looking at it. Could't figure out what was wrong. Turn out it was the mechanic! Took it to a Dodge dealer first time. Found out struts were bad, also had cupped the tires so I had to get a new pair. Do suggest to try another Dealership, at least it's still under warranty.
  2. It's difficult for a mechanic to tie down the problem when checking the car there at the garage. Can you imagine trying to figure out the problem on this forum? Does it do it at any speed, turning, stopping, how about accelerating? You say it's coming from one side left side. So that's the driver side of car. My two guesses, possible caliper stuck or semi stuck, check slider pins make sure they slide freely and nothing is jamming the pads. The other is the wheel bearings allot of people have had problems with them. Look on the bright side it sounds like it's getting worst drive it until it breaks. Just make sure you have a cell phone and a tow trucks phone number! Let us know what happen. :)
  3. My opinion, it's a cheap car. Their's allot of Hispanics and people on fixed incomes in Florida. Then again people are looking on Google for information, not sure if their purchasing one.
  4. Found this of people Googling of car brand, countries and state by state search. http://www.tflcar.com/2015/08/car-company-gets-googled-united-states-infographic/
  5. Saw this article about a new type of 12 volt car battery. That'll last twice as long as a standard regular 12 volt car battery and weights only 6 lbs! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ohm-a-smarter-car-battery#/story
  6. They have their polices as what corporate office tells them to do. I'm guessing they tried that years ago, got some damaged or scratched up parts. When you think about it, their making them at a fraction of the cost!. I think if you contacted them about getting a used instrument cluster would they install it and then replace it when the new one comes in? Wouldn't hurt to ask, if you're that much of a hurry.

  8. In the car industry Dealership Service Dept are know as, Revenue Departments!
  9. It's sad you put your trust in a business and they take advantage of your ignorance/age. Maybe they think twice if you shot a letter to Honda about how she was treated. I assume their's maybe a local garage highly recommended to have the car taken care of, without draining her savings account. https://www.vsb.org/site/publications/senior-citizens-handbook
  10. Does the updated Ford - 12 VOLT BATTERY TEST AND MODULE SOFTWARE UPDATE 15B04 seem to have fixed the 12 volt parasite battery drain?
  11. Should their be a new forum of FSA Title: 12 VOLT BATTERY TEST AND MODULE SOFTWARE UPDATE Field Service Action Number: 15B04? Would be interesting if this is the FIX to the 12 volt battery drain. With detail information of informing everyone know what year, model, and options they have on their car.
  12. Do you have an article on this about needing to relearn your driving style & behavior? The PCM makes sure your engine is running at it's most efficient for emissions, and electric motor operation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powertrain_control_module
  13. I'm surprised no one, even on other forums don't question the gasoline quality. From different times of the year summer/winter blend to percentage of ethanol. That's not counting are you actuality getting a full gallon 100% from the pump instead of maybe 97%?
