Well March is turning out to be a money pit so far! I wanted to share my car frustrations. I havent really had any car issues (at all) since I bought my car 2 1/2 years ago - its newer and the only thing I replaced were the tires and struts. Now I am having this mysterious issue - where my car is flat out not starting. This is after I had a two new batteries installed. I am thinking maybe its an alternator or starter issue. Both of which are more expensive than batteries of course. On Tuessay I was stranded about 15 miles from home in the area I volunteer in. Today, I am thankful for the no start this morning before I started commuting.
I am also really blessed that my dad has a second car Ill be borrowing from him for a week or whatever while I have someone figure out my Mazda issue.
Have any car trouble lately? Do you find that when one thing goes wrong a million things follow?

Darn cars always making trouble. So many things can go wrong on a car. My husband can fix some things but he's no mechanic. The labor prices are unbelievable.

@maezee Just the cost of the tools alone are ridiculous, you need a different tool for everything.

Sorry to hear. Since your car is 2 1/2 years ago - is it still under factory warranty?

Oh my goodness, it must be the time for car problems lately! Another person on MyLot wrote a post about having car trouble and my van is having issues too. We think the transmission is going out on it! Must be something in the air and I hope it goes away for all of us soon!
