Grrrrr. I hate cars. every time I turn around I have to spend more money on mine. I have a 1998 explorer with only 12000 miles on it. I have bought radiator tune up brakes and they just rebuilt something in the steering. I have practically rebuilt the whole car.
I just got it from the shop on wed. when I drove it this morning and parked the battery was dead when I came back out. I had to call hubby to come get me started. Now the car is back in the shop so they can find this problem.
Joes is a 1996 explorer with over 400000 miles and he has had to do little to it in all those miles. He says that it is because of the way I drive. I do not agree. I think he bought me a lemon.
I love driving it when everything is working right. It is very comfortable and handles well. That does not matter much when it leaves me stranded.
I am sorry to come off so negative today but I was planning on going to my daughters in nc for the week end. Now I do not know what to do. I thought while I was waiting that I might come in here and vent. I do not want to complain directly to hubby because he tries so hard to keep me happy. Bless his heart. lol

It's frustrating when you have to keep sinking money into a car. Borrow your hubbys to go visit your daughter and leave him here with us LOL

Ugh, I do know the feeling! We have a Honda Odyssey which are normally really great vehicles-unless the person before you didn't take care of it properly. We have put a lot of money into it and now the transmission is slipping! It never ends I swear.
I hope your vehicle doesn't cost you anymore money! I know it adds up really fast.

@UncleJoe Yeah, unfortunately transmissions are not cheap either!
. I treat my car just as a means of getting from A to B - if anything goes wrong with it I haven't a clue what to do.

I'm sorry about your car. I hope everything is working well for you now.

I hope this time the problem is found ... and it'll stay fixed for always.

I absolutely agree with you......my son's car that I drive snatched the key out of my purse without my knowledge the other day and subsequently, I locked it inside! When the spare key arrived, it was found hiding in a grocery bag beside the baby's car seat.

We finally had to get newer vehicles, ours are both 2008+ so in better shape. I vent on here too for similar reasons~
