very hmmable
that's really bad
what if it's so bad and it got out of hand and had lead to an accident
mtchew
that's evil

shortgun:
Ok.
I guess you have to dismantle instrument cluster (dashboard) these days before buying a vehicle in this country

shortgun:
Ok.
Let me share my experience today.
My cousin bought a Toyota Highlander like 6 months ago.
I was very mad with his choice of brand cos I am a die hard Benz person..for me it's Benz or nothing.
He later brought the vehicle to receive my blessings.
After enough booze to celebrate his first car,I forgave him for going against my advice
I inspected the vehicle and everything was in place..it was neat and stable.
I congratulated him and wished him well.

After like a month he started to call me for one issue or the other about the vehicle.

I wanted to tell him...I told you so; but as senior man wey I be,I was always there for him.
The vehicle have been having various problems AC, suspension,loss of acceleration, bad plugs, ignition coils e.t.c

Today he called that the vehicle can't rev past 2000rpm, I asked him if the check engine light is showing and he said NO.
After my activities for the day, I took the highlander for a test drive and confirmed what he told me on phone.
I took it to a mechanic workshop and they plugged a scanner..the vehicle was having numerous problems yet the check engine light was not showing.

I told them something was wrong.
I told them to dismantle the intrustment cluster.
After the dismantling the instrument cluster, we discovered that the dealer he bought the vehicle from blocked the check light with cellophane and black insulation tape, preventing the check light and other fault lights from illuminating...I was furious.

This is just wickedness of the highest order.
How do people like these sleep in the night?
My cousin have been swearing for the dealer for 2 hrs straight on phone

Lexusgs430:


Once you attempt to start a vehicle, once you turn the key, certain warning lights must illuminate, and go off after a few seconds.........

Some lights would stay on, till you fully engage the engine...........

Faulty lights would remain afterwards...........

His fault for not doing his DD......... A small fee of 20K, would have saved him buying this lemon........ I would suggest you do a VIN check on the vehicle( make you kuku nail the final nail in this coffin).......

rationalmind:


Some of the lights (CEL inclusive) on the instrument cluster illuminates as you start the vehicle. Should have been obvious the CEL was blocked without dismantling the IC.

shortgun:

I can't believe people can be this evil

There is one here who used cement to patch transmission of a Lexus! The buyer has not recovered from the trauma over four years ago...if in doubt ask dannybrasky diportivo nurey even gazzuzz.

I didn't say he has a king-size Bible o

Yes, lights will show when starting a vehicle.
In this case not all the lights will illuminate.
The dealer only blocked the faulty lights, CEL and VSC.
ABS,OIL,BATT,TRANSMISSION, COOLANT..e.t.c were not blocked.


The VIN also checks out.

the guys working on it said the PCM will need to be replaced.

GAZZUZZ:


Daddy you need to be calming down.

List the issues first.

weyreypey:

Are you involved?

Haba haba, I am just concerned as a father figure in the society

shortgun:

Ignition coil A primary/secondary circuit
Ignition coil B primary/secondary circuit
Ignition coil C primary/secondary circuit
Ignition coil D primary/secondary circuit

The mechanics have done the following:
Changed airflow sensor.
Changed throttle body
Changed throttle pedel.
Changed temperature sensor.
After all these, still the vehicle won't rev past 2000 rpm.

I told them to return all the parts they changed.
I called someone and he said the PCM needs to be replaced for the vehicle to work properly.

The CEL and VSC warning lights are permanently on all the time no matter how many times they tried to erase them.
I will be happy if you can give me a lead sire.

GAZZUZZ:


Uncle it's the ignition coils that are bad. Replace all and engine will run fine

shortgun:

we've done that already....
problem persists
