My beautiful Topaz hatch is dead!

[RallyXLTZ]

As of yesterday, my little Sonic is dead. Went to leave for work and she wouldn't crank. After a few tries she fired up. Then while driving down I75 to ATL she started to bog down like she was out of gas, which I know wasn't the case since I had just filled up Monday. Turns out the computer had some kind of programming problem and it wasn't letting the fuel system work properly, and also somehow managed to give a nice case of valve problems. So...needless to say....my car is back at the dealer and I'm stuck waiting for three weeks while they either fix her, or pronounce her dead and exchange her for another. If she is in fact done for....I'm going to bitch enough that maybe I can snag an RS for what I paid for her.

Anyways! Just wanted to let everyone know to keep an eye out for problems just in case!

That sucks, it at least sounds like you're being taken care of. Let us know what's going on.

 

[RallyXLTZ]

I definitely will! It sucks not having the car. I only had her for maybe a month and fell in love how fun the little thing is to drive. And now I have to drive this big ass Santa Fe while I wait =/

It's a good thing you haven't installed all the mods in your sig yet.

Sorry to hear about your car issues and I hope they are able to resolve them quickly so you don't have to drive that Santa Fe too long....

I don't think I could wait 3 weeks. I'm dying driving this Dodge Avenger for 3 days while my Sonic is at K&N lol.

 

[RallyXLTZ]

I know! I actually have the stage 1 trifecta tune at home and planned on running it this weekend! Good timing for a bad situation haha

I dident think the avenger is that bad if a car

 

[Bogus]

Well after driving my small firm suspension Sonic, the Avenger feels like a boat. lol

 

[$ub$onic]

True that. I'll go from the sonic to the one ton and be like holy **** this thing is a boat.

 

[RallyXLTZ]

Yeah, they tried to put me in a rental Sierra 2500 and I had to fight to keep out of that behemoth. Lmao

I would have taken that any day of the week

 

[RallyXLTZ]

Really not much of a truck person. Plus it wouldn't fit in my garage, and with the rest of my property is on a steep slope, I didn't want to risk parking it on the grass and it sliding down my driveway (ice everywhere) and taking out my neighbors house downhill lmao. Also, gas mileage was a huge part. I drive all over with my job...and that 2500 gets less than decent mpg lmao

I usually ask for the small truck when I get a rental. Last time was a Colorado. good truck.

Not bad. Did u get the 5 cylinder one ?

 

[Eric Smit]

sure did. fantastic engine. kinda fell on its face when it shifted to second, but that's the gears fault.
