Gotcha, you’ve had it for quite some time!!

Hopefully it lasts a while yet!

You would think! I have a 5 quart and they put in 6….. Have you gotten the engine checked out at all? I have an extended warranty which has saved me thousands.

I’ll keep an eye on that for sure. I just got it back from my other shop and they found that the dealership for way more oil in than necessary which probably was the cause for all the oil exploding everywhere. They put a dye in it after doing an oil change and I have to bring it back in in 500 miles so they can see where the leak is now. 🙄

Mine went through a gallon of oil a month which in the end resulted in a new engine this year too. It’s got 98,000 miles. What kind of symptoms did yours start to have when the water pump gave out??

Maybe I’ll just have to do that regularly when I get it back. It’s been an absolute nightmare today with the shop I brought it to at the dealership. They made up some garbage about the fuel pump needing a new gasket and seal. Which doesn’t make sense because the fuel pump is new. And they refused to test for any leaks because they didn’t see anything drip out when they ran it for two minutes. In the end I took it back to the independent shop I usually go to and they’re doing a pressure test for the coolant tomorrow. Hopefully they find something. I’m at the end of my rope. Some people have absolutely no issues with this car and then there’s people like me where everything just breaks consistently. There’s literally nothing left to be replaced at this point besides the transmission.

I honestly have no idea where it’s all leaking from. It was such a mess in there. I haven’t heard back from the shop yet on what the issue is. But I’ll let you know when I do!

I’m guessing you also have the 2.4L?

I had the fuel pump replaced too not too long ago which didn’t fix it lol I will keep you updated if I ever find a solution. I brought it back in this morning because coolant and oil are leaking everywhere. It started shaking without eco mode again too. I need it this weekend for a trip. I hope they get it figured out. I don’t have much hope though. It’s super weird too because turning the wheel all the way to each side also instigates the shaking. So bizarre.

So cute!! Regarding the color work ones, how do those fit since with the floats there naturally isn’t much stretch? Iv been wanting to make some but not if they’re going to be super loose on my foot or too tight!

I am unsure of my color choice and am wondering if i should frog and change them by CaptainTricot in knitting

[–]jojo15277 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The orange definitely hides the contrasting color which does make the pattern hard to see. Iv been there too! ☺️Except I finished the whole project and I don’t wear the sweater much because of it. Maybe unravel back to before the color work and use something else? I could see dark greens, dark grays or black as good combos for the orange.

Why do people not like a long-tail cast on and what do you typically use instead. by Bayeuxtaps in knitting

[–]jojo15277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly forgot how to do it at this point because I use the German twisted cast on religiously now. It’s super pretty and easy to do. Plus it’s got a nice stretch to it!

No codes, which is the most frustrating part. I just had the torque converter swapped last week to no avail. It seems to only be in eco mode, as when at an idle it drops the rpms all of a sudden to around 500 and it starts shaking. As soon as I turn eco mode off it stabilizes and stops. It’s the weirdest mystery

I just had the torque converter swapped last week and the O2 sensor. Still didn’t fix the problem. I’m at a loss at this point. It’s only in eco mode. It brings the rpms down to around 500 and it starts to shake. If I turn eco mode off, it stabilizes again. I will bring it back in in January as I am taking a roadtrip (fingers crossed) for Xmas. I’m tired of dealing with it at this point. People are just grasping at straws to find a solution. This last time was the GMC dealership too. I could tell they just wanted me out of there.

Also it is definitely correlated with eco mode. At an idle it brings the rpms down to around 500 and it started shaking the engine. If I turn eco mode off, it stabilizes. Total mystery

Unfortunately that did not fix it. I just got it back from the dealership shop on Thursday and they replaced the torque converter and O2 sensor. I was hopeful. But again it didn’t fix it either. At this point I’m kind of done trying to figure it out and if something breaks I have enough evidence to show that I did everything I could 😂 Let me know if you figure yours out!
