My car was smoking on the inside. It was a 2015 Chrysler 200 Limited
0:54
Our jeep caught a fire when starting it. The fire also set my husband's pickup truck on fire in the driveway. Pissed off. Can't get anyone to help over the phone
1:05
This is all coming out of my door. Watch. All that's coming out of my door. That should not do that
1:17
I'm going to write to the jeep company. Okay, so I'm about to put this car in reverse so you can see that this does not work
1:26
That's all I have is a camera. It does not make any noise at all on this camera at all

Users often come to us for interviews to share their concerns with automakers
2:14
For example, here is the story about the findings in a freshly bought Ford F450
2:22
My name is Sarah, and on December 26th of 2021, our lives kind of turned upside down
2:31
We purchased a new truck roughly a month before. We were doing some work to the truck, and while doing so, we discovered drugs underneath the carpet and the carpet pad of the driver's side of the truck
2:47
This is a 2018 truck, so it was not brand new. it was used. Immediately, we pulled a Ziploc baggie out and within it, there were four more
2:59
little baggies. My husband has been in recovery for 15 years and has been in active sobriety since
3:06
So this was something that was a major trigger for him. And since the 26th of December, he has
3:13
been struggling this has uh turned our lives upside down as far as uh financially um this is a
3:21
this is a work truck and it pulls a big trailer that we have all of our tools in as we own a
3:28
remodeling company and we are so scared to drive this truck because we believe there are more drugs
3:35
in this truck i was almost killed because of the engine failure good start for a care review
3:43
almost five weeks ago I was I live in Greenville, Michigan I was coming home from Grand Rapids, Michigan and my
3:54
something started knocking really hard on the car and it wouldn't quit
4:01
wouldn quit so I pulled over at a gas station and a guy had heard it knocking I tried to attempt to make it as far as I could to get home so I could call my husband Well he was having
4:18
problems with his car too. So I knew he wouldn't want to drive too far. But when I got to Myers
4:24
Lake Road and M57, the car actually died on me completely. So finally when the tow truck got there
4:37
he towed us home. We had five miles of free towing through AAA and then we had to pay the
4:46
additional $49. We had them tow it to a dealer or a repair place, and they said the engine
4:56
had gone on it and quoted us like almost $8,000 just to get it fixed. Well, I would like them to
5:09
stand behind their product uh like i said we still owe on the kia so we can't afford you know to be
5:18
paying on the car plus turn around and try and buy and and not only that we've been in contact with
5:27
a few uh reputable places and they can't even they said they don't make the kia engine anymore
5:37
and if they, I guess the Honda is the next motor that's similar
5:48
but then you still have to take certain parts off the engine of the Kia
5:53
and put them on the Honda engine in order for it to perform. well
6:02
you know it still big bucks that get that done and I would like Keith to at least be willing to help pay for
6:16
this or I don't know what else they can do. The following story is about Aldi, the story
6:26
in which dreams become a nightmare. My name is Shirley Hartcastle. I purchased a 2016 Audi
6:36
The purchase that I made had a pre-existing problem that the dealership that I was dealing with
6:44
would not work with me on correcting the problem. They wanted to definitely correct the problem
6:53
but they wanted me to pay $11,500 to correct the problem. And I didn't feel it was my responsibility
7:01
The car was only just a few months old. And obviously the problem was pre-existing
7:09
and I don't feel like I should have paid for a pre-existing problem
7:14
So I think that pretty much, I guess, sums it up. At this point, they should pay off the outing
7:22
that I'm still paying for. I think they should pay it off
7:27
They got the vehicle. I no longer obviously have the vehicle. And I think that they should pay it off
7:33
so I'm not making the payment on that Audi. So I'm not paying for that Audi
7:39
There should be no reason for me to be paying for this Audi
7:44
They took my money and gave me nothing in return. You can access the full stories by clicking the links in the description
