re: #221 lizardofid

I’m afraid I have little to contribute on this. I would say though, that having it “just quit”, without any other symptoms, such as an obvious loss of power, or smoking, just doesn’t add up. You might want to work the dealerships email up the chain of command in search of clarification. If they expect you to pony up $8,100.00, they should be able to offer a specific dx. (You’re right, spending that on the car would probably be a poor investment.)

Have you described where you’re at on this to your Dad’s friend who has the shop? I would for sure get a second opinion.

Oh, good morning.

Probably not a great contribution but my Mazda 323 once “just quit”. Turned out to be a cracked crank shaft.

Edit: Though I think that’d be a detectable condition and not something that is repaired and then just dies again.
