Do you have a minor issue with your car that you've never fixed?

[Blue-Jay]

I like my car. It's fast. Bought it used. Still, I don't feel like fixing...

Air Conditioner: Never worked. Don't care.
Fog Lights: Never use them anyhow.
Driver's Seat: It's in the exact right place. It'll move forward, but not back without a struggle. Nobody else drives my car, so there it stays.

1. My first car had a light behind the left turn signal on the dash that never turned off.

I thought it was kind of cute.

ETA: It would blink when the blinker was on. But when the blinker was off, the light was on.

[Blue-Jay]

2. That reminds me of the MG that I used to drive when I was 18.

The left turn signal didn't work, so I had to use the lever to signal on-off-on-off. It was an easy fix, but I really didn't care enough to make the repair. I just liked having a tiny convertible with right-hand drive to cruise around in.

3. I have to shift my automatic transmission car into neutral to start it

I parks fine and stays but you have to turn the key put brake on then shift to N to start-

[Blue-Jay]

7. If it works, go with it.

That, however, sounds like something that you're going to need to deal with one of these days.

9. CV boots, brakes,muffler cruise control

just had those done- I want a new car but the missus doesn't think we can afford it although we just spent 900$ to get all that fixed:) I will buy another nissan for sure- 175,000 and this is first work we have had done on it.

[Blue-Jay]

12. At the very least, get the CV boots/joints replaced.

One of these days, a CV joint will seize up and fuck the entire engine. It's best to get it fixed as soon as you're able.

4. Wheels don't spin, other than that , motor makes a nice sound.

[Blue-Jay]

10. So you have a half-ton noisemaker?

I'm no mechanic, but if you have a car that doesn't move, you might need some help.

5. I'd really like a shorter throw shifter.

Of all the performance cars I've ever driven, this one has the longest shift throw. I'm not going to bother messing with it, though.

[Blue-Jay]

8. If it's fun to drive, let it be.

[flvegan]

11. Exactly.

6. My last car (may she rest in piece) never got the 'Corolla' replaced on the trunk

After I first got the car the trunk was smashed by a snowplow. The driver of the snow plow insisted he pay cash to have the trunk fixed because his insurance would skyrocket if he called it in. Being a nice person I said ok. I mean the car was drivable just had a big dent in the trunk lid.

So when I finally took it to the body shop he asked me to use it seemed to take forever to get the trunk repaired (he paid for rental too). And on a friday before a weekend I wanted to go away for a few days I was desperate for my car back. The car was ready to go for everything except putting the word 'COROLLA' back on the trunk - which would take one more day to finish. I was so pissed I just said I would bring the car back and they could do it then - I really wanted my car back. So I got the car but never bothered to take it back for the 'COROLLA' - figured it wasn't going to do anything in improve or hurt the car. And since Blue Corollas are pretty common I always new which car was mine.

13. yeah one of the window seals is loose - we just endlessly shove it back on

and the trunk latch is messed up.


But what the hell...


How the hell are ya?

[Liberal_in_LA]

14. door handle broke from inside. Have to reach out to open door. Annoying

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Yup...it's not really an issue exactly...

I backed into a wall and scraped the corner of my rear bumper...

I've never gotten it fixed.

:hi:

[Xipe Totec]

16. Aside from the sudden acceleration on my Prius? No, not really.

Why do you ask?...











:sarcasm:

[noamnety]

17. Mine has a thermometer built into the mirror

It can be 90 degrees outside, and it will warn me to be careful! It's icy!

[Xipe Totec]

18. As long as it does not warn you to drive friendly, you're Ok, nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

19. I've got an old van...

Turn signals sometimes work, sometimes don't.

Alternator light stays on ever since I had it replaced.

Oil and coolant leaks.

Radio only gets NPR.

Headlight alignment all fucked up, I try not to drive at night.

Fan for heater/AC no longer works.

One wiper broken.

It's got a lot of character.

20. Major issue with my old truck...

lol, literally just had it towed to the shop.

I almost cried. I love my truck.

[REP]

21. Rock chips on windshield; too small to fill, can only be fixed by replacing windshield

The chips won't become cracks - they're just too small, but they bug me. I'm not sure if they bug me $400 though.

[LeftyMom]

22. The display on the stereo is messed up.

It was like that when I bought it. I'll replace it eventually, but it's a pretty low priority because it's annoying but not enough that I'm in a hurry to run out and spend a bunch of money.

[JBoy]

23. Clock is busted.

Tried to change the time to DST one time, and now the "hours" button is stuck down. The clock just scrolls through 12:00, 1:00, 2:00...

It's actually entertaining if I've got a new passenger in the car. They'll say "What's up with your clock?" And I'll say "HANG ON!!" and press myself back in my seat like we're travelling at light speed.

[Swede]

24. Drove my last car for years with "service engine soon" light on.

Never had a problem.

25. uh

not enough bandwidth for the list
