Last week the brakes stuck and locked up the pedal
So the dealership put a brake valve in
And that cured the problem
Then after getting it back and driving it
It would stick in park
And these have a override you push to unlock it
No warning lights nothing so i told her to drive it like it is.
But she didn't listen and had the dealership come get it
They are quoting 1200.00+ for a brake booster?
Now they call saying it's not locking up anymore
I think they're throwing parts at it because they can't figure it out.
I have seen many of these for sale with bad transmissions hopefully it's not that.

I have a 2012 Outlander that might need a new transmission. Only one new one in the US right now and it is in New York. Its a transaxel unit, so you pretty much have to tear off the entire front end to get to it...what a pain. The rest of the car is good, only 110,000 miles on it.

I've seen probably 5 or 6 on facebook for under 5k because it costs up to 7k for a trans
I told her don't let them waste your time before the warranty expires
She's on a fixed income so me and my brother are going to help pay for it.

Adam, why do you use sand for the lawn? It has no ability to hold moisture? Just curious. @Kiwioilboiler

Sand is used on golf courses for holes and to smooth greens because it promotes growth. Water is needed but you are growing grass.
A buddy gets a few truckloads a year for the course. He is a greenskeeper/course superintendant.
Dennis gets it Larry. The sand (washed, so not salty) is free draining.

Some of the biggest turf farms in the state are located on sandy land that is ill suited for other crops.
Sand promotes deep root growth making the grass more drought tolerant over time,
Sun , fertilizer, and water will get you all the grass/weeds you wanna cut.

That sucks, out IT guy at work has a 2010 with over 200K miles on it. Says it's the best car he's ever owned, almost always rolling around a couple hundred LBS of tools and equipment too.
