1 /5 Paul Wang: I am merely stating the facts, and the readers can judge for themselves. On March 20, 2024, I went to the shop to repair a coolant leak. (Before the coolant leak, the vehicle was functioning perfectly, and the engine check light had not turned on.) The shop quoted me $1,422, and we finally agreed on a cash payment of $1,200 for the repair. After the coolant leak was fixed, I drove the vehicle back to my apartment, and the engine check light came on. Since this old car had experienced similar situations before, where the engine check light would turn off after a few days of driving, I didn’t pay much attention to it. However, this time, the engine check light remained on, and the engines condition worsened. The first weekend after I picked up the car from the repair shop, I found a note on my windshield from someone expressing interest in buying my car.
On October 11, 2024, I went to another repair shop to have the engine inspected, and they discovered that the ventilation hose was broken. I suspect it was intentionally cut. I didn’t proceed with the repair; instead, I used dry vent tape to connect the ventilation hose myself, and the engine check light turned off automatically.
