“They love me I’ve been suing them for 30 years!” 😂😂😂

I once bought a 78 Camaro from an older lady. She said it had always been a great car. Except that it magically produced toothpicks. She said that she was finding toothpicks on the floor since it was new. About a year after I bought it, I had the headliner replaced. When I went to pick it up and pay the guy. He hands me a bag of toothpicks and said he found them under the front upper trim, by the sun visors. There was almost 400 toothpicks in there. Red ones, blue ones, green ones. There was also flat ones along with ones with paper wrapped ones from some restaurant in California that went out of business. 😆 Somebody at the Camaro factory had a sense of humor. LOL!

There are some truly fascinating aspects of lemon law practices in the US. I am so glad Steve could shed light on some of them here.

An honest lawyer protecting common folk, rare to see

"They love me"
"I've been suing them for 30 years"

I have literally been the mechanic stuck in this situation at a dealership. That's why good mechanics don't stay at dealerships very long and go to aftermarket shops.

This was a genuinely interesting video. Great stories.

My dad claims that "back halfing", or welding two halves of a car together, is the major reason we have such insane salvage title laws in Illinois. It was a very common practice in the early days of unibody cars.

I worked for a GM dealership in the 90's All I did was warranty work, I felt so sorry for the customers who bought these crap vehicles. GM did not pay us to repair them properly, mostly just patching them together to keep them going until the warranty period was up.

The 4 dislikes must be from Ford, GM, FCA and Ram.

Talking about the guy who's steering wheel fell off reminded me of a story my mom told me about my dad's first car, which was this 50s or 60s steel bodied pickup truck that barely ran at all that he had bought from his brother for $80. They were driving down the road and my dad went to shift gears, and as soon as he popped it out of gear, the shifter same out. My mom and my dad just looked at each other and my mom says, "now what?" so my dad shrugs, jams the shifter back into the socket, finishes shifting into the next gear, and they keep right on driving.

My uncle also told me about how for a while the truck had no working brakes at all. He would downshift and run into stuff to stop and that's not a joke.

So many good candidates for the opening quote:

"I've been suing them for 30 years they love me"
"Your steering wheel falls of in your lap, the scary thing is it's got to happen more than once"
"That's not acceptable", "Why?", "Every time I drive it over 50 the axel starts smoking"
"Does a dealership really not notice that a car has been cut in half and stuck together again"

I had a lemon law attorney also named Steve, in California, also for a Chrysler product, that had frame and suspension issues making it dangerous to drive, amongst several other problems, yet they refused to fix it under warranty and even refused to honor a recall fix. They ended up paying for it big time.

“It starts smoking if I do 50....”
“Well...drive slower”

I am an HVACR technician and I can tell you a diagnostician is worth a mil. Finding the cause, not the problem is one of the most important things in diagnostics and it isn’t easy.

[henryatkinson]

That whole "welding cars back together" thing actually was considered a valid repair option through the 80s in the US. Back then, body-on-frame was a lot more common, so I guess it made sense, but still, I'm shocked it lasted that long.

A college teacher I had said he had a Ford in the 90s and it went through brake pads every two months. After 6 sets he went to a garage who diagnosed warped disks. Nobody at Ford thought to replace disks after after about 6 sets of pads

7 engines? Wow! My 1988 Dodge Daytona was almost a Lemon in Massachusetts...for the clutch. But on their last attempt (after 5 already in a year), they finally figured it out and corrected it. The car went another 130k+ miles after that without a hint of failure. During the failures, the dealer and Chrysler rep kept telling me I didn't know how to drive a stick. NOT!
Cool stuff Steve and Ed!

First time I’ve ever heard of a Frankenstein car is when I was at an accident scene where the Frankenstein car was hit by a pickup on the side. The car split in half, and both the driver and passenger were ejected and both died. They both were wearing seatbelts but it didn’t matter when the back of the car comes off.
