If You Fall For This Scam You\'re Stupid Don Duncan: I had the check engine light on ('08 V6 Camry) 3 years ago. I took it to a parts store that does a little trouble shooting and the guy said it was a sensor Toyota wouldn't let them carry. He said I had to go to a dealership. So I went to the Henderson, NV dealership. I didn't tell him I knew the problem. He came back after an hour and told me it was the sensor and would cost 370. I told him ok I'll pay. He left for an hour, came back and told me he was wrong, and it would cost 870. I was reading something interesting and not thinking so I agreed to pay. He left for an hour, came back and told me it was more complicated and it would cost 1370. I agreed to pay. He came back an hour later (I had been there 4 hours) and told me they ordered a wiring harness from OR and it would take 2 weeks, costing 1870. I said ok call me when it's in. They charged me 50 for troubleshooting (without warning) but promised it would go to pay the balance when I came back. I left, pissed off, as I have never waited so long for a diagnosis, been charged, and I suspected I needed a 2nd opinion. I went to a small independent shop I heard was honest, but it was an hour away. The told me it was the sensor and would cost 370. It was fixed in 30 minutes and I didn't go back to the dealership since. I told my wife what I almost got scammed for. 1500 and at 74 I thought I was losing it.

I seen a guy on the highway getting closer and closer to me then went to go around in the right lane. I was faster and he got upset. A mile down the road after he managed to get in front of me he locked all 4 wheels up and I expected him to do this at that point with everything he was doing. I have brand new brakes hahahahaha. I didnt even trigger ABS casually got on the brakes harder and faster, out braked him then flew past him by switching lanes. He was pissed needless to say. Sometimes you've just have to be very alert and know how to handle your vehicle in emergency situations. Yeah I'm sure I didnt help the situation by not allowing him to illegally pass me but oh well I knew his plan and avoided his idiocracy. You could tell he didn't know much about driving besides pedal down go fast and brake hard slow down lmao. I loaded the wheels up right as I seen his lights flicker and gradually applied more force. He just slammed the brake down and locked them up immediately which really does less braking in reality

You can't be too careful now days. There is the biggest epidemic of human trafficking in history right now and the scary thing is no one knows because even the media won't report on it. Or very few. Watch out for your kids people In the US in 2015 there were over 600, 000 child abductions. That's an INSANE number. and that's JUST the US. In my small town and the city next to us, there are many every day that happen. Please BE CAREFULThey are straight up walking up to women CARRYING their children and SNATCHING kids out of their hands. So I would reconsider that whole gun rights thing if you're an american anti constitution, tyrannical domestic terrorist that loves seeing innocent people NOT be able to defend themselves, keep it up. Hope to God it's not YOUR house that gets broken into, or YOUR kid who gets abducted.

Dash-cams to the rescueMy uncle almost fell victim of these kind of scams, but he lived in Argentina and people from there have a short temper and are kind of used to this. He was stopped at red light and as soon the light goes green one of the pedestrians jumps into his wind-shield while another guy was filming. He came out of the car blind with rage, looked at the guy on the floor picked him up and pointed to where his dash-cams, that was hidden in the rear mirror. The guy knew he fcked up but uncle already had a good grip on his shirt collar, uncle then proceeded to beat the crap out of him right there on the spot. Never heard of a lawyer or insurance companies from those guys. It seems nowadays you need to record everything in your life just to get by.

A few years ago I had something happen to me that was really messed up. I was in a store shopping, I come out and this lady said I just hit her car and I said how could I I've been in the store, so I ignored her got in my car and took off, I thought she was crazy, I had to get away. An hour later the cops show up at my house saying I was involved in a hit and run and of course I told the cop no this lady is trying to pull a scam to collect insurance money and the cop said no one dose that. The cop didn't believe me so I had to go to court and my attorney couldn't do anything he said the ladies car has a dent in the bumper and it's her word against yours. Well long story short I lost and had to pay this scammer money for an accident I never got in. LOL

Scotty, here's a nightmare story. I took my wife's 2000 Toyota Carolla to a Toyota dealership in Houston years ago for clutch plate replacement. When I got the car back and drove it home I experienced a violent shake putting into first gear. It got so bad that I took it back to the dealer. It turns out the mechanic only bolted two of the bolts to the transmission bell housing. I was livid. They said they would have their best mechanic put the bolts back in. When I drove it out again the violent shakes persisted. I took it back to the shop where they corrected the problem.

That is NOT true scotty. If you have a dashcam, it's obviously recording and someone suddenly breaks on you without no reason and you happen to crash on them. You can tell the cop that you have it on video. The person who you hit will pay. You still get the ticket wich you may have to fight in court with your video evidence. If what you are saying is true there would be NO TRUCKERS on the road. Those are the easy targets for anyone trying to scam their insurance.

Based on my multiple experiences, the so called factory trained experts at thedealerships were not successful at resolving my car issues (slow leaking R134a and a power window sporadic operation. Paid a total amount of 3, 000 in all for their attempted fixes. Later resolved the problems myself with proper guidance from on-line videos. My conclusion: Some dealerships are expensive and not necessarily better qualified at repair than many independent repair shops.

Hi Scotty I have an 03 mustang gt. It has check engine light and fuel cap light on. I had an evap smoke test done and found a small leak and was repaired, now the light came back on mechanic is saying it's the fuel tank pressure sensor. He did another smoke pressure test and found that fuel pressure wasn't rising it was stuck on the same number as before the smoke pressure test. Any advice? I'd appreciate it.
