Hey Scotty got a question is the 2008 Hyundai sonata a good car should I buy one?
I've always loved Faulty Towers, too.
hey Scotty what is your opinion on what Aptera company is trying to achieve when it comes to making EV's right to repair friendly by having easy access to parts to incentivize DIY and being able to fix your own car and being able to buy and install your own self driving equipment
Hey Scotty, American car makers are being taken by other international brands.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where are the US financial resources to bail them out? Or, probably ICE American cars are JUST NOT SUSTAINABLE FINANCIALLY!!! Open your eyes! ICE American is just a marionette dump under oil lobbies' strings. American muscle will always be dependable on OPEC and the American toyboys. Speculation on oil and car engine sizes. Say hello to EVs.
I love Monthy Python too. Huge hug, Scotty.
I’ve worked in vehicle sales for Chrysler for the last few years, at the same time of the merger. Still work there and with all do respect there has been ZERO indication that the Chrysler brand out of the 14 brands is being discontinued. The head of Stellantis has been on record saying that the Chrysler brand will be a pillar for Stellantis for years. Yes the 300 is being discontinued after this year but Stellantis has confirmed that there will be more models coming either in 2024 or 2025. Additionally, I sold one of the first 2023 Dodge Hornets and my customer has had it for almost a month now. I followed up with her and she has told me how much she loves it! The styling, Dodge look, and drive quality. I test drove it myself and I tell you this has the best pick up of any company suv I have ever driven! 268 horsepower for a small compact suv!! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the bias towards Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Dodge, etc is vastly overblown. Every vehicle has issues, it’s inevitable.
No it isn't. Dodge and Chrysler are garbage.
My 12 Charger SRT has run awesome over the last 11 years. The only thing it went in the shop for was a recall airbag, and tires. I change my own oils.
@@PhantomCookie87
I’ve had a 2013 Dodge Journey since January of 2014 without any issues.
I work in a nissan shop next to a chrysler , jeep, dodge, under the same owner. Chrysler techs are always tearing into the engines, on top of ridiculous electronic issues. Their warranty pay is crap too. Regardless of the advertisements, its been a european brand since diamler was a partner.
They should pull the plug on the Chrysler brand so it could be added to the expired makes of Plymouth, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Saturn, Mercury, DeSoto, Packard, Studabaker, Edsel, Nash, and Hudson. All were discontinued for the same reason. Stellantis could replace Chrysler, and revive, and relaunch American Motors.
Stellantis has already had quality issues. The one thing holding them together is the legendary Hemi V8. Them killing the Hemi is gonna put them out of business!!
Cummins in the HD!
@@toddfrost3019 That too!!!
The older Alfa Romeo’s were always a hoot to drive and nice handling cars. They were actually simple and reliable just that mechanics working on big American V8’s had little idea how to work on them. I had an old Italian mechanic and my Alfa’s ran fast and were cheap to maintain. I remember my high revving 1750cc took 8 litres of oil and never overheated.
The new ones are junk
When not on fire
They sure were back in the late 60s and very early 70s. Not terribly reliable but certainly fun on the two lane Twisties.
I have a 2018 Romeo, great car, did have a problem where it got some water damage in a storm. They wouldn't pay for it. Opened case with Attorney General of Maryland. Negotiating now.
As long as you don't plan on going very far.
I usually don't buy American but have had a 300s for last 3 yrs and love it. Only thing I changed besides power steering pump was brakes and windshield washer hose no issues and have driven it out west 3 times and back from Ontario it is a 2012.
great cars
My daughter has a ‘17 300. 3.6. Great driving and handling Plenty of power. No issues at 40,000 mi
The Loyalty You Have For Your Channel And Viewers Is Phenomenal. Keep Up The Amazing Work You Do Scotty ,Don't Ever Forget You Are Very Appreciated 🙌
Chrysler has not made American designs for a long time, and this has been the case since before FCA. The aging models like Dodge Durango were based on Mercedes platforms.
Those old 1970's Cryslers were so sweet.
Yes Scotty, names don't mean anything. Today men call themselves women. Lol.
Those aren't men never were...no true Man would do anything that's popular these days seriously though
I mean being a woman is much easier in today's world.
@@fortheloveofnoise unless you want to play sports at a high level against actual peers.
Or prefer to shower with those possessing similar genitals.
Kinda like Bell and Howell, who decades back made quality film equipment and projection systems. Went out of business, and some Chinese company bought the name trademark. Now we are seeing the Ronco type commercials of pure junk items labeled as Bell and Howell....
I’m still keeping my 89 Lebaron.
You must drive 120 miles a year 😅
Liam Neeson had one.
I still drive a 89 mustang GT.
Hell yeah you are
@Johnny B. Good That's different. Those 5.0's are still going from $8k to $18k in good condition. 😊
Love your videos Scotty keep ‘em coming. I wonder if you should have been a conductor in a Symphony Orchestra though with all the hand jesters 😂
Hey there Scotty, I have a 2020 Ford F150 Lariat with the 10 speed auto. 45,000km. I started getting crappy shifting, with clunky, hard shifts between 5th to 3rd gear when changing down at an intersection. I cleared the adaptive transmission tables in Forscan. It's absolutely fantastic now. 2500km with no further issues and like velvet in all drive modes. Hope this helps. Cheers Adrian
Fawlty Towers is a great show!
Love my Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid! No other minivan is plug in capable. Unfortunately Honda, Toyota, and Kia have completely overlooked this. Won't buy any of them until they can average over 70mpg-e.
@@southern842 That's why I have a bumper sticker that says: _I used to be cool_
Stellantis (mainly the Italian side) is reminding me a lot of British Leyland of the 1970s
That’s very true indeed. I wonder which Stellantis is today’s equivalent of a Morris Marina 😂
Non of these brands will get a chance to stand out. Well something like Jeep will. But most wont
@@baronvonjo1929 never underestimate the power of a huge corporation to screw everything up. For example, the Jeep Renegade
Good comparison. There will probably be as much badge rebranding as at GM - every company will have their own version of every car.
Beautifully made junk----Every part that falls off, is made with the finest European craftsmanship.
Anything associated with Stellantis has failed. It's hard to believe Dodge Chrysler Plymouth and Jeep has become such junk compared to back in the 70's when they all made a quality vehicle.
I used to watch Fawlty Towers with my mother back in the late 90's to early 2000's. I think it was on PBS. It was kind of our hangout together. That and Mr. Bean and Red Dwarf were on. Good stuff.
I felt Scotty's hand will come out of screen and deliver a slap.
I love my Aunt's Chrysler LeBaron Convertible!💖
Just when it seems Scotty can't rise any higher in my good opinion of him, he comes out as a _Fawlty Towers_ fan! Not only intelligent and knowledgeable, he also also has outstanding taste in comedy!
Try and catch The Germans episode, not for the obvious but for the Major's recollection of watching cricket. No way that would be made now and it is censored on most repeats but desperately funny.
The company I work for recently ( 2 years ago) purchased some equipment from an Italian manufacturer. The manufacturer could not finish installing all the equipment before they left and the attitude was, we got what we paid for. The problem is the project was over a year overdue and $20 million over budget. They never could make the equipment work properly for more than one cycle. We've been running it for several months and have robbed many parts of the unfinished equipment to keep the other 2 pieces of equipment running. Many of the parts are failing faster than we can receive new ones.
What is the name of that manufacturer
@@karimtemri1664 sorry I cannot disclose that information.
Too funny that you talk about "electrical problems in Italian cars'.
I owned 2 jeeps between 1990 and 2007. Before Stelantis. Both had the famous Chrysler starter motor, which would die every 2 years without fail. Also, the resistor in the heater fan control would die on a regular basis- changing that every 2 years was one of the reasons I got rid of my second jeep after 6 years.
Multi control on the signal stem also crapped out after 5 years- so I got rid of the thing.
Tell me again about "Italian electronics......."
Fiat and Chrysler weren't even together between 1990 and 2007, so your argument against Italian electrics doesn't make sense.
@@dallinesplin7958
Have you forgotten the partnership Chrysler had with Alfa Romeo/Maserati when Alfa launched the 164 in the US?
With Chrysler’s “help” Alfa more than doubled its dealership network and Chrysler got a fancier LeBaron called the TC by Maserati.
@@dallinesplin7958 exactly- and my arguement wasn't against Italian electronics- it was against Scotty implying that somehow Italian electronics were worse than Chrysler electronics, which are notoriously unreliable.
Anybody that follows motorsport knows that in many series, including F1, Italian electronics (Magneto Morello specifically) are at the heart of many cars competing.
Stellantis will not be in this country much longer, they are going to move the RAM to Mexico, Jeep is already being built out of country.
The newer Alfa Romeos are pretty damn reliable. Go look up The Giulia...it's a great car.
If they're ditching the Chrysler 300 (The ripoff Rolls), then things must be REALLY bad...
Yeah its really sad. Hopefully they don't decide to beat a dead horse and bring plymouth back.
The 300 is based on the charger which is end of life. They will be updating the car with a new chassis..
chryslers have always been garbage cars.
They sold that as a lancia over here. Fooling absolutely nobody.
@@jakey20022 maybe as a midsize crossover
I had 2013 Fiat 500 and it wasn't terrible. Also, it wasn't made it Italy. It was Mexico. I guess it's 6 of one, half dozen of the other.
Same here. I had a 500 Sport (2012). Only issue I had were the strut mounts. And now I got a 2015 Abarth 500 and it's so much fun.
Dodge and Chrysler brands are going the way or budlight and Busch beer
Hey Scotty, I had major surgery 3 wks ago & can finally watch you again, due to the decrease in pain. It was my 3rd neck fusion in 5 yrs & this one , they had to run screws and rods from C2 down to T3 Vertabrae. 12 wks down time & 3 months, possibly 6mo. + for PT to gain the use of both arms & hands again. Scotty *THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO* & don't ever stop. 🤕

I totally agree on the “Faulty Towers” sitcom, I love the show, the British humor back then was great, I have been watching it since it came out, it’s too bad things have changed so much that comedy back then can never be made today. Excellent video thanks Scotty:)
Yes. Fawlty Towers is one of my all time favorite shows.
Don't mention the War!!!!
'Faulty Towers' was good. watched it all the time. another good British sitcom was a show called 'Coupling'. it ran for 4 season and I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.
@@avlisk 🤣
@@jeffbauer3425 "Racket? That's Brahms. Brahms Third Racket!" A personal favorite.
I bought a Renegade awhile back. Mine ran fine, but the thing I remember was the "new" smell. It wasn't new car smell, it was new COMPUTER smell! That weirded me out; that, and I screamed like a girl the first time I started it, and my "Virtual Assistant" spoke up, unbidden, and wished me a good day, and asked if she could help me! I grabbed the manual and punched buttons until I shut HAL off! Geez!!😅
Chrysler has no core models. You have to have core models for volume to keep the factories going. Instead, they keep making high performance cars. In the end, it may be just Dodge RAM trucks and JEEP vehicles. 😢
We need to save Chrylser...
Scotty got more announcements then the National Enquirer.
I had a mechanic put nearly 100 miles on a Bonneville I'd given them for ball joint replacement. Seems he took the car to a dealership about 50 miles away to pick up parts for another project. I only figured out where he went because the receipt for the parts and a McDonalds receipt from the same town were left on the floor. I confronted the mechanic and he suggested I find another shop to do future repairs, which I did.
Did he even try to tell you he did a 100 mile road test of the ball joint for your safety? 😃
@@mikekokomomike No, he denied driving it at all until I pointed out the "mileage in" on his RO was just about 100 miles less than the odometer.
@@billgraff4809 I guess he could have tried to lie his way out of it by saying he misread the odometer. I do all my own work if I can.
got a battery jumper box with air pump, saved my Bacon a few times 👍 happy trails to y'all
Bacon isn't good for you and it's expensive, lol 😊
You know Scotty...I knew I liked you! Fawlty Towers - I've got the DVD's and watch them at least a couple times a year...the absolute best!
Grew up watching Fawlty Towers! That and Monty Python, Three Stooges...
I bought a lithium battery pack from Canadian Tire and it is great. I support this recommendation from Scotty.
Thank you Scotty for clarifying jump starting todays cars. All the electrical sensors and computers are easily damaged.
Quality Means Nothing And There's No Such Thing As A Bad/ Poorly Built Vehicle! People Who Have That Kind Of Mindset Shouldn't Even Own Or Be Allowed To Work On Cars. All Vehicles Are Great, Its All about Maintenance! There's No Such Thing As A Bad/ Poorly Designed Vehicle because Vehicles Can't Have Problems Or Fall Apart.
Faulty towers, loved this show.
So with the jumper boxes, do you let them sit and charge up the dead car or do you hook it up and start the car?
Love “ Fawlty Towers “ couldn’t believe they only made 12 episodes. When I watched as a kid it seemed like there were more . Maybe IMDB has “Fawlty “ information 😂
Ex mechanic and electrician here. You are right with the jumper cable connection, but otherwise NO you're wrong, sorry. These are resistive loads and is no different than having 2 alternators and 2 batteries in one car. an extra alternator isnt going to "push" more energy through lol
I was gonna say the same
Stellantis produces endless money pits anyway
Well said.
I am guessing like Scotty you base everything on opinion and nothing on fact!
gm produces endless money pits
@@lisam4503 Ya, he has no experience whatsoever fixing cars. 🙄 Just because he hurt your feelings doesn’t mean he isn’t right.
Tim Kuniski has killed dodge and lied to Dodge owners.
My 2016 Edge is doing the same exact thing you described. It’s been in the shop over 5 times and the sealer said it’s normal. It’s under warranty so we’re just dealing with it until something big goes I guess.
Finding french fries under the seat is a bonus!
Scotty slanders us Italians, us Americans, the Germans, the French, the Chinese...everyone but the Japanese. No wokeness on this Channel!! No narratives, just the Truth!! and we love him for it! Keep going, Scotty. Cent'anni!!
I'm offended .
he does slander the Japanese though, look at dem altimas and mazda rots cooking in his roasting oven
@@phatgringo2.0 😂
@@phatgringo2.0 I'm offended because I'm NOT offended! LOL.
What yer yappin about
I bought a NOCO lithium pack a my son in law used one with his diesel truck in the winter. I got the same model and it sucks. I returned the first one, the 2nd one will not work if the battery in the car is completely dead, we used the big lead acid packs at the dealership and I can see why. They actually work!
My uncle has AlfaRomeo boxer engine 4 carburetors two doors sport car. Great car
I have the same issue with my 2013 Explorer that the 2016 Edge has. It has a rough shift pretty much through every gear and has 131,000 miles. I just unplug the battery every now and then and let it sit 10 mins and then that usually fixes it for a while.
I get what you mean about not being able to stand behind something that you wouldn't personally choose for yourself. Many many yrs ago, I sold my '91 rx7 for $300. When the guy that bought it came I told him everything negative about it. He was shocked. He said, "I've bought a lot of used cars from every type of seller imaginable,& this is the 1st time anyone has ever started their sales pitch by telling me the car is a P.O.S."
1st off,it was a 5spd automatic transmission that you could switch from sport to comfort shift types. That's an immediate red flag,but the car was in great shape visually,but the transmission slipped like crazy after driving it for an hr or two & about the same time the transmission started slipping, it wouldn't steadily idle. The rpm's would normally set around 1,000rpm but once this started acting up, it would fluctuate from 800 then up to around 1,200 & then fall again. Sometimes it would stutter & die if you weren't expecting it.
I just couldn't knowingly sell someone something that I would get mad about if I was the one buying it.
I love your content. However I owned six Fiats. Four little 500s one was a turbo. 2 Fiat 500x s a newer 21 has a turbo 1.3+ +all-wheel drive and I've had no trouble with any of them build quality is good handling is good great gas mileage priced well. 🤠
His set his standards that car should last at least 200k mileage, easy maintenance and repair also not to be crappie or any issues in long term
Watch out for yourself. The sheriff may be after you for felony bad judgment.
Yes you probably owned six fiat's in one year😂😂
@@jdmforever5583 actually since 2011
WHERE'S my Aries K car?
While they weren't great cars, they served their purpose of economically getting you from point A to point B.
I have a 2010 ford mustang v6 and I’m getting the P0401 code, what the earliest way to clean my intake manifold without taking it off the car?
Scotty, i really hope there's an end to all EVs soon so that we don't have to see one ever again.
EVs run on Stupidityy. Typo intentional.

@D B the king sniffs in all the wrong places and the queen wears kneepads.
@@thinkingimpaired5663 I enjoy watching videos of average people and their ford EV etc.. they try to paint a rosy picture of the vehicle but the frustration and bewildered look on their face tells the story.
Thanks Scotty for who you are.
FAWLTY TOWERS! Man, I've watched so many of your videos Scotty, and I didn't think I could like you any more than I already did! Great choice!
Nothing new. GM has been rebadging their European, Australian and now Chinese cars. Ford shared platforms with Volvo and Range Rover at one time…
My brother had a 1957 alpha Romeo spider what a POS.
Yeah faulty towers is awesome
I’m hopeful for the upcoming Chrysler Airflow.
A real blast from the past.
Not sure that will catch wind.
anything chrysler makes has a tranny that WILL fail
If they reissued the original airflow as it was I would buy that.
Alfa Romeo - used to call them Alfa Rust-ay-o.
Had an Alfasud, years ago.
The only thing that went faster than the car was the rust progression.
Hey Scotty, how are you, I live down on Long Island. I’d love to go up north meet you in person my favorite TH-camr.

@@anthonykujawa-wj6cr I don’t know Anthony ?
my uncle owned 3 alpha romeo and he never had issues
That sounds very scary! The porters ragging cars before they are delivered!!! I am glad there are mechanics like you to let people know what's going on with these dealers & car companies.🤣🤣🤣
I see a group of 10 explorers fresh from factory being driven to local dealerships being dogged the sh*t out of. Even before it’s makes it to the dealership being disrespected. Bunch of boofooons.
Dealer prep is also done hastily and they swirled our paint. Brand New Rav 4. Scratches!!!!
I loved Fawlty Towers and I also enjoyed Are You Being Served, both funny British comedies.
Scotty! Can you talk about the 1st Generation Toyota Avalon? I have a 1999 XLS and it runs like a clock at 185,000 miles!
Yay .. thanks for the warning
Fawlty Towers? Ya, you betcha. Great show Scotty. But I'll still lean towards The Honeymooners with Jackie Gleason and Art Carney and the girls as my favourite of all time. It was just so bang on relevant to my family life growing up.
Well, I just got notified today that Stellantis is terminating my lifetime warranty falsely stating that they have no record of my Jeep being serviced or inspected. Ironic, as I have only EVER taken my Jeep to a Jeep dealership for all of its maintenance, recalls, and repairs numerous times than I should have needed to do. This is a great way to lose customers. I can't believe I paid $5K to end up defrauded.
Alpha Romeo is a sticker, not a company...
I bet the plug in hybrid is based on a PSA platform... PSA was the company that made Opel profitable again, shortly after they acquired it from GM.
I guess the majority of Scotties audience never worked with Italiens... you could learn a lot
Chrysler had gone through a lot of turmoil, but this is a slap in the face, of what used to the one of the very best manufacturers of practical cars & trucks throughout the planet... It is not even close to the same thing it used to be between the mid 19-20's till the mid 1990's....
Lmao not Fat Kok
I love and appreciate you Scotty❤
Thanks scotty for the sign language
Scotty I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos and learned much over the years. Do you not get paid ? I do believe you have a kind heart for a capitalist. Keep up the good work. You do a great service.
Fawlty Towers😂😂 Great choice Scotty. Loved that series. "Don't mention the war!" Lol. 👍
Sounds exactly like what happened when General Motors Holden stop making the Holden Commodore in Australia.
We got some French Peugeot or something like that read that as a Holden Commodore and what do you know in 2 years General Motors were out of business in Australia
I like the looks of some of the old Holdens just the fronts are nice
I want some of what this guy is on, please!
Scotty I have a 2008 Lincoln, town, car executive L, my cluster dash likes to shut off on me and most of the time it doesn’t come back on, but the only thing that works still are my turn, signals and airbag light, do you know what could be the problem?
He won’t be replying bud…
Probably breaks in the wiring, or loose connector(s). Pop the dash cluster out, and if a visual inspection doesn't show the problem, start testing the wires for continuity. Wiggle them around and see what gives out.
Love that show too.
I think with Stellantis you will get in future always the same Peugeot-technology in Fiat,Citroen,Alfa,Opel or Jeep clothing.BTW the old Alfa V6 or double camshaft 4 Cylinder were great engines.
Scotty, love Basil Fawlty. I suppose you know John is renewing the series.
Scotty - what is your opinion of high mileage 2007-08 Toyota Solara V6s?
Some of the ones made in Mexico had transmission problems (VIN starts with 3) if they weren’t maintained. Other than that, great zippy cars that’ll last forever. Just have it checked out by a mechanic. If it throws codes or has bad suspension, don’t buy it.
The 2007-2008's are kind of ugly but the pre-refresh 2004-2006's look half decent - My mom has a 2005 Solara V6 coupe that she bought new with probably 220-230k miles by now and it's never left her stranded except when the alternator went bad and the battery light came on just before the car cut off so at least she had warning so the car didn't break down in the middle of the street. The interior quality in them is kind of poor though which is surprising for Toyota. The leather seats don't hold up well and the leather/vinyl material on the doors and dashboard likes to wrinkle and crack, and the doors sound hollow and cheap if you close them too hard which is the opposite of how the first generation Solara doors sounded when you closed them. Change the timing belt on the V6 models, they are interference engines - But they are definitely reliable mechanically.
@@chynacash3138
I let the car slip away! Gah! I found a Mercury Milan (same as Ford Fusion) with V6 and sunroof. Hopefully the owner accepts my offer
That the reason why when my Jeep Liberty 2010 V 6 goes bad .Iam hopefully to trade it in on a Tacoma Toyota used
Faulty Towers is funny as hell
Loved the scene in Fawlty Towers where he beats his car with a twig...yelling at it
Daimler never should have been allowed to buy Chrysler Corporation. Probably even American Motors shouldn't have been bought by Chrysler.
Scotty why you showing a gremlin not a AMC Hornet I’m from lake county Illinois just south of Kenosha county
Alfa can't have a worse rep than dodge.. no wonder the trucks dropped the dodge name
because they needed money
Dodge Hornet and Alpha Romeo is actually a 2018-current Jeep Compass!
Yes the Renegade are a Fiat as is the Promaster van besides that they dont use any Fiat vehicles..Even Promaster has a Chrysler 3.6 V6
Chrysler is having the Airflow and another sedan to replace the 300 or maybe even called the 300..So,3 vehicles not one but we will see..
... Faulty Tower and check out The Red Green Show some very outrages auto adaptations (some with duct tape) ...
Funny, I was a test "applications" engineer for thirty years. APPS. 🙂
1:03 Loooool!!!
I have AAA to start my car when battery is dead
That ford edge transmission isn’t normal. But it’s also at around its mileage where it needs its first drain/fill transmission fluid change
I’m pretty sure after that it should stop. But go to a garage where u can watch the work be done if your not doing it yourself. So many places claim to do it and charge $150/$250 for it yet never touch it.
Also ford if they do anything to “quote on quote” fix it.
They’ll do a software change that’s about it. Which doesn’t fix it. It only bandages “cover up or prolong” the real issue.
Those edges were also known to have 4*4 transfer cases fail and then blame it on customer for not changing the transfer case oil!
I hate when companies use old good names and put them on something completely different like charger was not a four door sedan, Dart was not a FWD sedan, Caprice was not unibody. They need to stop that crap makes me sick
Question--> GMC announced that they will no longer build Pick Up Trucks.
Does that also means that Chevy will also no longer build Pick Up trucks?
Fawlty Towers is hilarious! 👍
Scotty liking Fawlty Towers just solidifies my trust in him. My late father introduced me to it & Monty Python.
Scotty is a man of great taste.
Right On Bud! The SCMI wood working machines made in Italy have one electrical failure after another. I had to drive a renegade in the snow. Went for the four wheel low setting. Where is the F*ing four wheel low setting. It’s a rebadged fiat…. No jeep four wheel low. What a pile of junk. And what about the new power wagons? This anint no Dodge Power Wagon… The real deal was a street legal tractor that drives slow, rattles your fillings and performs for ever in harsh environments. And it has mechanical PTO winches.
Beginning half oddly repetitive. But thanks for the jumpstart tip.
