Dead batteries are an obvious given...but this also refers to tranny issues on vehicle listed, and even not listed...also starters, electrical problems, fuel pumps, alternators, water pumps, general stuff...but the regularity of the cars listed was the point of this thread

This is a lot better looking than that Grand Wagoneer wannabe

You have a point....though not entirely valid, the GMT 800's have Onstar as well, and I get those...also bare in mind I am refering to the makes as a whole, not just vehicles built in the last 5-6 years...I also mean vehicles from GM before Onstar

Allpar

I have sen my share of S10 Blazers and S-15 Jimmy's, but would need to make my list longer to include everything. I should really amend that GMT 800's and earlier # 7 on the list, to include all of them, but I get more F-series trucks brekaing down than Silverados it seems....And to be honest, not many Suburbans etc...it seems the Tahoes and Yukons are the most popular...I don't recall any Escalades having to be towed. Ok here are some more notable mentions...in no particular order... Ford F series Chevy Blazer/ GMC Jimmy....again I never really get the pick up versions Honda Odyssey, actually come to think about this, I get more of these than Pilots...I may have to amend the original list. (sorry) DCX Cloud cars.... Ford Focus Ford Explorer Dodge Neon Lexus, mainly RX and ES cars Nissan's, all of them, ages range from 90's and up among others... Here are some makes that very rarely are called in for service... Buicks Oldsmobiles Cadillacs Audi's Jaguars Lincoln's Volvo's among others...

Actually my Mom owns a '94 Town & Country with under 100K on it and just had the tranny rebuilt two months ago. No I work for the call center, and take the breakdown info and locations etc....which is then sent to dispatch for ETA's

As a matter of fact I think I've had one or two focus' with the key stuck in the ignition, but what I meant was people locked out of their cars with the keys in the ignition or on the seats, in the trunk...etc. Aside from the actual vehicles that break down, the funniest thing is when someone dosen't know what year, make and model there car is, or even they're home address...as has been the case in my experience. Usually I have to sit there and run through a list of names, here is an example: Me:"may I have the year,make and model of your vehicle?" AAA member: "uh, $h! what is it, its uh, a Ford" Me: "ok, wha year is it, and what model? AAA member: " I think its 2000" Me: "ok, so is it a Taurus, a Focus, a Crown Vic, an Explorer, Expedition."..etc AAA member; "no wait, its a Chevy Impala"

Well I've been working for AAA in New Jersey for some time now and have finally been able to determine a rough top ten list of the most common makes and models that break down the most...this is just my experience, and be advised results may vary :AH-HA_wink: I will start at 10 and work my way down to 1...so here goes, and thoughts on these findings are welcomed... 10: BMW 5-series, Previous Gen, Most common problem "will not start" 9: Mercedes' all models 1990 and up, Most common problem, "will not start" 8: Chevy Cavalier, most common problem, "will not start" 7:Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon/Denali, GMT 800's and earlier, most common problem, "will not start" 6:Ford Taurus, mainly 1996 and up, most common problem, "will not start" or "will not go into gear" 5: Acura Integra, benefit of the doubt given that these cars are old now, most common problem "will not start" or "blown tranny/clutch" 4 Jeep Grand Cheerokee previous gens, most common problem "tranmission won't shift" "will not start" 3 DCX minivans, 1990's and up, most common problem "will not start" "will not shift" 2 Toyota's, Camry's, Corolla's Sienas etc..all of them, Most common problem, "will not start" 1 Honda's, all of them from 1990 and up, Accord's are the biggest headache it seems, followed by the Pilot, most common problem "will not start" Of course these do not include, flat tires, accidents, locked keys in ignition, etc. Results compiled after after 5 months of being on the job taking service calls.

Well I need my porn What are the advantages of what you use and cost? over Norton and Spyware Killer Pro?

It was insanity...and I was forced to put 87 in my Riviera b/c the price for 93 was just too high for me, and as a result I think it has resulted in some serious problems with the car...and now that I notice a lack of power and rough running I am going to be forced to use premium and yet I can't accept the price for it. BTW where are you in NY? if you are in fact in NY.

Around $2.50 for regular give or take depending on the station...the lowest it has dropped since going over the $3 mark last year has been in the $2.30 range, now its back on the rise here in lower NY

I run Spyware Killer Pro, which includes Spyware Killer, Junk File Killer, Anonymous Surfing on the net, among other things, and I also run Norton Anti Virus. I do sweeps daily with spy killer and sweep with Norton about once a month. I always have crap on this computer too much porn etc....

Toshiba Satellite, Cetrino Mobile processor, 1.76 GHZ, 512 RAM, not sure what else...oh yeah SRS TruSurround Card,built in Wireless LAN, but running Cable Modem with Optimum Online, And Logitech Speakers, have a wireless mouse but could never figure out how to get it to work. It's a real nice laptop, runs a little slow sometimes due to junk and spam, spyware...but the thing is always on either in use or hibernating...I also use it for my job as a AAA dispatcher and have all of my AAA programs and software on here. Aside for the signs of wear on the silver finish coming off near the left click on the mouse and from my hands resting on it as I type....the thing still works good and looks good, has all of it keys intact and I still keep the plastic on the back of the screen to help prevent damage...I've had it about a year and a half and will keep for at least 2-3 more years until the warranty expires and I get sick of the sight of it

So if it is common knowledge to have your children riding in the back, seat height up front is not an issue. and with optional 8 passenger seating in the Enclave, there is plenty of room for the kids in back and mommy and daddy up front...case closed

So raising the seat to avoid the passenger airbag is now a saftey issue? and then what raise the seat to max height and then get t-boned and break your neck by the curtain airbags? This is in no way a saftey measure by which survial during an impact hinges on. This is in fact a matter of personal perfernce. I don't see what all of the fuss is about, its just something else to fail on the vehicle down the road, and if you plan on adjusting the seats that often, then that replacement seat motor will be needed probably before the damn warranty expires. The fact remains whether it is a 4-way or 8-way seat, the Enclave is one of the best looking, if not the best product to come out of GM in a very long time IMO, has ample power for a V6, a beautiful interior, superior fit and finish on par with some of the best Luxury SUV's CUV's out there, and is no doubt going to be Buick's halo vehicle when it goes on sale. Cut the General some slack and just be glad they brought this thing to market as almost a mirror image of the concept.

Welcome to C&G

Fly if you were to buy an Enclave, are you planning on spending your time in the passenger seat or the driver's? 4 way power is fine for the passenger seat, they don't need 8 way power IMO, as that should be used for driver's of all shapes and sizes to get a better driving position. I see nothing wrong with having a 4 way power passenger seat unless you're looking for bragging rights at the yacht club.

I happen to love tats above a girls ass, and on their ankles...other than that its a turn off...and trust me I know...my girlfirend has 7 tattoos...2 on each arm, on eon each shoulder and on the back of her neck. It bothers me, but I've gotten used to it...I plan on getting one or two myself some day.

the tailights have a similar shape IMO along with the short deck and c-pillar into the deck shape....IMO

Introducing the 1992 Ford Escort oops I mean 2008 Ford Focus

wow!

Yes Fly, but those taillamps look nice and flow iwth the design, the GMC's looked tacked on IMO

I see how it is guys, been here over a year, longer if you count my stint in the Olds forum a couple years back
