problem #2

Jul 052015

Explorer

  • Automatic transmission
  • 140,000 miles

The lines rotted clean through. Not as much of a problem on a straight highway, but a pain in town driving and fueling up. Muscling this car into a tight parking spot is really annoying. 0/10 would not recommend trying this. If it happens to you, get it fixed as soon as possible. Otherwise it'll just get worse until you eventually do crash.
