Sometimes I feel like a demon keeps making things breakdown on my car all of a sudden each time. I've considered exorcising the f-ing thing because it's just getting sickening with these repair bills every month.
I've not had any issues since the starter and oil pressure switch issue last month. But mainly because I've been enjoying a nice smooth ride for the past several hundred miles from the Midwest to the Gulf, until last week more s*** started going wrong.
So my car was in the shop overnight last weekend (spent Valentine's day afternoon sitting in a car shop). due to bad brakes. That in itself was over $400. I even brought the pads and rotors myself. But the calipers were bad supposedly. I pulled a miracle and got it fixed.
Well prior to the brakes there was some noise coming from the rear. Over the course of maybe 400 miles it got progressively worse. To point where my rear drivers wheel began wobbling at 70 mph. So Had to limp to nearest gas station and use up my last AAA service call to get towed back to the shop who originally checked it out and said control arm loose.
So now I'm stranded and pretty much in a trance not believing this is happening for the 3rd time in 30 days: feeling sick and nauseous wondering how I'm going to afford the mechanic bill. And not being at home, I can't just stop and do it myself.
What's made it so hard is that I can't find a rear LCA no where except a used one on eBay and a new aftermarket one for over 200. Had to gamble with the cheaper used one. Also can't find wheel hub, only at the dealer. So that's gonna be another $170.
Flee thee from this vehicle, Satan!
