Sell & Runaway

Topic starter

I recently bought a 2019 Honda Accord LX , automatic trans, 1.5 Turbo with 60k miles. Just saw your video on oil  dilution.  I would lose approx $5k  to sell it. What do you suggest?  I bought due to gas prices vs 15 mpg 2003 Toy Seq  with 250k miles my ride or die. Should I  just bite the bullet & go buy an older  Avalon, Camry or Lexus or am I panicking?

It's a nice car however was driving  approx 45 mph  no car in front & started braking  for no reason. Freaked me out! Now I'm afraid to drive it.  I don't want  the car to control me; I want to control the car.   

I like your idea if you want to keep wife happy buy Lexus! Been married 34 years !  lol 

 

Thank you!   I'm so sorry I found you too late !

You saw the video but are you having oil dilution issues at this time? Because there is also a video from Scotty on the solution to this oil dilution issue.

This is most likely an issue with the sensor the car uses for deciding to brake/assistive brake system it has. Did it happen again or was it just once? Sometimes it's just the front sensor being blocked with even a tiny bit dirt on it. But if you want to be fully sure have it scanned for codes and have your independent mechanic check it out.

Sensor and computer issues are impossible to avoid with new cars in general because of how much software and computer based they are. And certain features you can't disable them. So if this is a concern for you you have to buy a very old car. But in your case it's not something to sell the car because of; it's fixable if there actually is some issue.
