*Official The WORST car you ever owned thread*

[Bandit_LT1v8]

2000 Camaro V6 (my first car)

It even leaked oil when I first bought it with only 29,000 miles!

Problems:

1. Intake Manifold Gasket Leaked Oil
2. Rear Main Seal Leaked Oil
3. Oil Pan Leaked Oil
4. Transmission Leaked 1 quart every week or two
5. T-Tops Leaked
6. It kept burning the Starter Relay and would not start every week
7. 02 Sensor went bad
8. Random Misfires
9. Thermostat stuck closed and it overheated (fixed that quick lol)

Probably more, but I forgot...
It seemed like every week the car had a new problem!

[Bandit_LT1v8]

Also, it seems like everyone I talked to has had a lot of problems with V6 Fbodies, but the V8's are fine.

[HAND HERPES]

1999 Dodge Neon

I bought when I got into the accident with my Firebird.

It had a ticking noise (common with these cars) and you know what ticking means? It's a bomb, ready to blow up. The car blew up with 76,000 miles on it. Ashame.

[popo8]

I loved every car I have owned..... they all did great...

SOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

If I have to chose the worst one I ever owned... I would say that it would be the 1985 Buick Park Avenue that I got when I turned 16... It was my moms car.... and she gave it to me. It had green vinyl top... dark green paint.... green velour seats.... green carpet.... and wood grain on the dash.... I got pulled over my first time in that car doing burnouts in stone parking lots.... the cop scared me so bad, I went home and told my parents cause he said he was gonna call them and tell them.......












He never did.

1) 1994 Chrysler Lebaron. This was my third car, bought for $3k with 63k.

Transmission grenaded at 66,000 miles. Had it repaired by a local "trans specialist", left me sit a half dozen times on the interstate, my college, home, friends houses, etc. They probably worked on it a dozen times or more - lost count. Ended up donating the car to charity after two horrible, HORRIBLE years.


2) The next closest thing would have to be my '06 TBSS. This was like my 7th or 8th car. Bought in '08 with a hair under 50k.

Trans blew around 72-74k. Rebuilt with updated parts from GM under warranty. Ignition module went once (common, probably going to go again soon), ate a bearing shortly after the trans blew and GM wouldn't cover it under warranty (still pissed at the dealer for that and will never buy a car from a GM dealer again) so I had it built, just replaced the second headlight relay that likes to get hot and turn the low beams off. Electrical system is garbage - all the lights dim when idling ever since I got it. I'm sure there are plenty of other things I am forgetting.

I'm emotionally attached to my TBSS, they just had a lot of piss poor design flaws. So, I drive around with a spare ignition module and headlight relay like a boss.

[97firehawk]

The worst car would be the Volkswagen rabbit deisel i drove it for two days and the engine exploded .

[JPack]

1976 mustang 2 with a four banger and stick. Two toned... brown and rust.... heavy on the rust. Beat the ever liven crap out of that car and wouldnt die... ahhhh teenage years...

[BLK95TA]

While not technically mine, i got to drive around in a 1985 Chevy cavalier.

This car was so rusted out that i once hit a skunk and i swear i felt skunk guts hit my leg. the car stunk for a week.

the majority of the body was dark blue but the drivers side front door was light blue and the drivers side rear door was gray. we replaced them because the doors were so rusted out that cold air would come right into the passenger compartment in the winter. ever hear the song "rusty Chevrolet" ? yeah that pretty much sums up that car.

And now you are a cop lol...

Since i have only had/have 2 cars...i would say my 2003 silverado 1500...it runs like a champ but i am on my 2nd power steering pump

[Fastbird]

Officially the worst? My brand new off the showroom floor 99 Trans Am. Arctic White, graphite interior, six speed. In the first 8k miles and 10 months went through 3 T56's, an axle seal, and a non-working A/C compressor the day I drove it home. And the car itself was twisted to shit when I completed the lemon law buyback. It was a lemon in every aspect.

Unofficially the worst? The 2000 Lincoln LS V8 we owned. Something always seemed to break on that car, and it was NEVER less than 4 bills to get it repaired. Even sold that one at a loss.

[94Blackbird]

The worst car I've had to date would have to be the 88 Buick Lesabre that replaced my 87 300zx. That car was the devils car. It liked to randomly shut off at highway speeds. Took it to the shop 3 times for the same problem, then just donated it. I hated that car.

[CamaroZGuy]

i have loved all the vehicles i have owned (not counting the ones i bought just to flip). each of them had there quirks but i beat the living hell out of all of them and they all kept running. i would take any of my previous vehicles again.

97 Plymouth Breeze
00 Chevy Malibu
93 Camaro
90 K1500
86 Ford Bronco
92 MK3 Golf
94 BMW 335i
10 Ford F150

[Featherburner]

The worst I've ever owned was a 1986 z28. What a piece of crap!

[Project96]

1987 Hyundai Excel. My parents got it for me when I turned 16 for $500. It burned so much oil, I felt like James bond with his smoke screen. Car never really ran right from the start, but it was transportation at 16. From time to time the ex manifold all the way back the the cat would glow red & it left me stranded a couple times too. I will always remember that car because I sucked on my first pair of tits in the back seat of that car. Oh yeah!!! I ended up donating it to the local tech school a couple years later. I still had to repay my parents for the car too.

[DIZMANGA]

My 01 WS6 A4 vert. So many problems. It looked nice, but I hated that car.

Why??? What was wrong with it, looks like a nice car like you said.

Beautiful looking car! ^

[SMok3 Em A11]

Although I still have and love this car I would have to say my 96 trans am. In 3 months after buying it the motor went. After close to a year I replaced it and drove it another 2-3 months and the trans went. Replaced that drove it for about 5 months and my first 10bolt went. Replaced that and drove it for about 2years with many many more smaller issues. Then I broke my second 10bolt. Replaced that and after a while I started getting random misses. Had it scanned to find it was a crank sensor codes. Replaced and no change.(keep in mind I had at this point never heard of an OPTI!!!). So after 2 years I finally met some guys that helped me figure it out. I drove it foe a month or so and parked it to do a header swap which I took my time with. Got it running sounded great headed home hearing a minor knock. After 2 days of rain I took it out to find the knock which turned out to be a rod. So now its sitting again with a nice window in the oil pan and a hand full of bottom end parts in the glove box!!!

[GreenZ96]

85 Ranger

Steering wheel would lock if you turned the wheel to fast. Caught fire 3-4 times. Hit a pot hole once and sheared the wheel studs and lost the drivers side front wheel. Choke would get stuck on a regular basis. Tailgate fell off the truck on the highway lol. The red paint was so faded, the truck looked pink.

Well technically, it would be your second set of tits, unless of course you were not breastfed as an infant.









Just saying

[DIZMANGA]

Why??? What was wrong with it, looks like a nice car like you said.

Thank you. I dont even want to get into all the s**t that was wrong with it. After I had it painted the shop told me that it had been wrecked before. Long story short. Over the course of six months I paid $14k for the car, $4K in paint, $2-3K in repairs and $1 in tires, then sold the car (not running) for $8K. What a nightmare.

LOL... Very true. Didn't think of it like that. Worst car ever, but prolly the best of times.

[meissen]

I didn't own it, but I drove it as a daily driver for a while -- a 1986 Porsche 944. Biggest piece of junk ever. When I hear people say german engineering is superior it makes me want to punch them. That 944 was the biggest, worst over engineered piece of garbage ever. It was like every task that you wanted to do in the Porsche was accomplished through a rube goldberg contraption. When my dad and I tried to replace the thermostat in the water pump we had to dismantle half of the front end and even then my dad had to buy special needle nose pliers that were super long and curled at a 45* angle, then had to use a bunch of aluminum ties to create a bendable mirror to be able to see the thermostat because the neck where the thermostat was in is angled down towards the radiator at a 40-45 degree angle... Then to top it all off, when he could finally see the thermostat he found that the c-clip that holds the thermostat in place was broken so only one "tab" was left... That damn thermostat took him over a week to replace.

Worst car I really did own would be a 2000 GMC Jimmy I had... it was a nice car, used with close to 100,000 miles on it. Was in the shop quite a few times with general maintenance issues. Overall it really wasn't that bad of a car, but if I had to pick a "worst" it'd have to be that one. Only other cars I've owned are my 1994 Camaro, the 2000 GMC Jimmy - traded it to my dad so I could buy a 2009 Trailblazer LS with only 30k on it, traded the 2009 Trailblazer LS with 75k on it for my brand new 2012 Camaro LS with 9 miles on the odometer... :laugh:

[95ImpySS]

Every Ford I have owned has left me stranded. Exept for one. I was able to make it two blocks home in 3rd gear. luls

My worst car would have to be an 85 5.0 vert


SMOKE TIRES NOT DRUGS

[meissen]

Only cars I've owned have been GM, my dad used to lease Chrysler cars for him and my mom but they were all brand new and only 3 year leases so he was turning them in before they broke down, the Porsche was the only non-GM car he has owned and didn't lease now that I think about it.

[Project96]

I've owned one Ford in my life. I had an '89 Taurus SHO 5 speed. That car was fun to drive for what it was.

[firebird_1995]

2000 Lincoln LS V8
Beautiful car. Very nice interior and ride.
Hydraulic radiator fan motor, junk. Transmission, junk. Engine, junk. Sunroof...... nice!

These cars are seriously over engineered too. There are components in the engine bay that require a steady supply of bald eagle eggs, elf toenails, and unicorn tongues. Very expensive to maintain.

That would be the only other Ford I would willingly own :)

[Neil350]

04 Blazer, never left me standing but I used the hell out the warranty. Only new vehicle I have ever owned.

[CamaroGirl]

89 Z24 Cavalier. Bought for $800, 3 years ago. Ran like a champ, however whenever it rained, the fucking thing LEAKED terribly. No joke, it had puddles in the foot areas. as a result, windows were constantly fogged, couldn't see shit. It was a good little car, but because of that, it lasted a month before I traded it in on my lipstick car(09 G5).
Later I found out reason why it leaked that bad is because all Jbodys had this issue where the window door seals would crack, thus causing a lake to accumulate inside.

[Badbird_96]

95 dodge avenger es 2.5. Money pit.from hell. Replaced every sensor on the car twice and finally let it sit. Gave it to my mom and it did the same thing to her. Said the alternator was going out. You have to pull the pass side wheel and axle to change the alternator. Still had a battery light which meant..... pcm was bad. So all that time it was breaking down and giving me this code or that it was a bad pcm. Fun car when it wasn't broken. Oh and had the distributor gear sheer off. Those were like 400+ when I had to buy it and that was the cheap one. And you guys thought optis were expensive.

Oh and they constantly leak something. But was like driving a go cart lol

Don't forget the common failed coil issue

[Sahara54]

My worst vehicle was a 93 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1.8 auto. Ugh, that car was a dog. The girl I bought it from was a co-worker in a bind and her useless boyfriend put it in a ditch. I tried to fix the steering issue but gave up. I traded it for a 98 Civic EX 5 spd...I miss that car,

[NuckinFutz93]

Brand new 2002 F350. I blew the heads off between service and the front gate, the day I bought it. It had 7 miles on it. It continued that trend 3 more times before ford bought it back.
