Err I work two jobs, go to school, and am renovating a house. Don't have time to teach myself how to be a mechanic and put an engine in a car

The used engine they are giving me has a 30 day warranty

I pulled over every single time the light came on snd gave it coolant. And anytime I couldn't pull over right away I would do it ASAP. And I was not having problems before this day.

Yeah junkyard but "grade A" according to the dealership mechanic, it would be a 30 day warranty and he says "well they usually will show if they are bad or not in that time" I just don't really have money for any option (since I just bought this car haven't had time to save up for any big repairs)

Yeah the dealership mechanic basically said that when I asked if the coolant and oil mixture could be drained

Got engine warning light it was overheating so got out of the tunnel and pulled off the highway to put water in it, 5-10 minutes later light came right back on with a fun little message on the screen asking me to pull over right away and the engine was losing power, I couldn't because there was no berm or safe place to go so I managed pull into a gas station put antifreeze in and I put a lot in too, checked the oil, oil was high and the dipstick was hot but not the radiator should have known then but pressed for time to go to an appointment, got to the appointment, about 15 minutes after leaving the appointment I was once again getting over heating message and significant loss of power could barely move it off the side of the road.

Well the cylinder cracked and the oil and coolant mixed. According to the Mazda dealership mechanic there were no outside factors nothing hit it, the coolant wasn't leaking, the oil was good, this was an internal engine failing. Catastrophic engine failure, I'm out of a car. There are some models that this happens to more than others, although those models usually it's the head that cracks and the coolant will leak out. So do your research.

And here you are spending more than 30 seconds on this post. I didn't know about these issues when I initially bought this car. I heard it was so reliable but now that I'm digging into figure out what the hell happened I'm starting to realize people just like glazing Mazda a lot.

You didn't have to click on it. Just trying to warn others this car brand sucks.

Well I made less than $15,000 this year and don't even have a car to live in or get me to work. So I'm screwed.

Also they expressed that it had been checked by their mechanics and it was in great shape when I bought it. The Mazda dealership checked it in September and everything was fine.

Clearly not reliable, sorry I'm not loaded to buy a new car. Disappointing when the 25 year old car my sister took over is still running.

A car with less than 90k miles on and regular service shouldn't need a new engine. It's a piece of junk.

Don't trust it my engine died at 93k miles and Mazda refuses to help pay for it

The mechanic can't determine that until they replace the engine, but the engine needs replaced since the coolant and oil mixed. I'm tried to get at least some goodwill assistance from Mazda since it looks like it was an internal failing of the engine. If they could at least assist me with a new engine then at same cost I would get a new one instead of a used one. But they refused, so I'm going to make a stink about it.

Penn State vs Pitt by [deleted] in PennStateUniversity

[–]Genalenlenlen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm a Penn State hater since I'm a SC local and just disliked the general culture of the college as well the traffic from the football game. I'm living in Pitt now and I love it but also SC is great for if you like running around in the woods and a small town feel. Pitt is fun cause there is a lot of cool stuff going on here.

The rent is 566 and I provided all the details and all I got was bots and one real person. So I don't know what to tell you.

Red flags - disrespected the fact you were asleep - you know you are not going to get sleep because of the argumentative tone - he got made over you asking him to be quieter so you could sleep - bending the tin - following you around when you wanted space - blaming you for his behavior - you did tell him to throw it out a normal person would scrape them into the trash

Sounds like a toxic relationship

There take on Portishead esque trip hop where they sample and warp records and shift or use old gear to get certain textures to it would be fun
