  1. Swap the coil with another one before replacing. See if the misfire follows the coil or stays.
  2. Power steering wont work, engine wont rev = engine shut off.
  3. If the CEL EVER came on, the code is stored, even if the light goes off (unless someone disconnected the battery for an extended period of time). Who is/how are you checking the codes?
  4. Little things you find out after buying a used car. They might have just unplugged the wire harness inside the headliner to keep the lights off since that cover is broken. You can remove the visor and see if it's unplugged.
  5. Ditto^^ Did you get any kind of warranty? Welcome to the forum!
  6. WTH is glossifier??? Edit: Can't believe I made a mistake like that.......here LMGTFM: https://www.dipyourcar.com/Glossifier.html
  7. NIce work. I want to do some modding on mine, debadge, plastidip some chrome to black, etc. The wife won't let me since it is "her" car (even though I make the payments)..
  8. Op is talking about closing them automatically, not opening.
  9. Thats what I'm saying. It takes all of what, 5 seconds to roll the windows up??
  10. That shine is a mile deep!
  11. Thats good. You are an informed consumer. I cant count how many times I've heard horror stories from folks who have bought used vehicles with guarantees that it was 1) never in an accident, 2) had all recalls performed, 3) owned by a little old lady who hardly ever drove it, 4) Transmission/engine, etc has been rebuilt, and come to find out none is true. Our DJ is still covered by the factory bumper to bumper, plus we purchased a 7 year 100k bumper to bumper on top of that. I, again, feel confident about this purchase from Carmax. Until they screw me over, I will continue to use them. Who knows, maybe they are baiting me. On a side note, I would not use them to purchase a truly "used" vehicle. We have only purchased ones that are 1-2 years old and have low mileage. I use craigslist if I'm looking for an older, higher mileage "beater" vehicle, knowing that I will have to do some sort of repairs, catch-up maintenance on my own.
  12. I guess a lot of people forget to roll their windows up in Brazil. : )
  13. AVS here too. I only wish I had bought the in channel vent visors. The stick on ones look, well, stuck on.
  14. I agree. There is always a certain amount of risk purchasing a used vehicle from any source. It is up to the buyer to do his/her research and become an informed consumer. That same report could be repeated at countless used car dealerships around the country. They just picked carmax because it's a known operation.
  15. I have purchased 4 vehicles from them, including my current DJ. Never had an issue, problem or complaint. I rank 20/20 stories right up there with supermarket tabloids. Anything for ratings. Just like car reviews. I prefer to form my own opinions based on my personal experience.
  16. lol....dealerships are pretty funny sometimes. Thats why we use Carmax. No pressure, no "I gotta go talk to the manager" crap. Sorry it did not work out for you.
  17. I base my opinions on real world experiences. The DJ we had before was a very dependable vehicle for being the first year of production. Main reason we got another. I put zero faith in magazine/online reviews by these outfits that get paid to review things.
  18. Guess you have to start by looking under the seat to see if anything is obstructing it. Then make sure the lever us pulling whatever it is that unlatches the seat from the track.
