Tips

Took it to a shop because the red oil pressure light would come and go when driving . Same night all my oil leaked out . They replaced my oil pan the next day as it had a small crack. Then I got the car back it was still flashing the light right after on and off when I drove it to work . Same thing going home . So I left it in the driveway until he could check on it . When the next day comes , I tell him my engine isn’t sounding right and now that light is solid there . He tells me “ it’s just the sensor , drive it and let the oil circulate ( because maybe it’s running dry when all my oil leaked out ) . I said nah it’s not that my engine doesn’t sound this way he said it’s an older car so it’s normal but I knew it’s not . After that drove to AutoZone it had the light but drove there fine still sounded weird from the engine . When driving back i stopped at a light , when I tried to pull off after it was green I felt that the power wasn’t there at all because I know my car . Less than a min later rev dropped to 0 and im rolling with no power but the car has power because the dash stayed on , music stayed on , it can go in neutral , etc . I’ve had an issue where it wouldn’t go in neutral and that was the ground cable months ago this wasn’t the same . When it finally stopped in the middle of a intersection, it started smoking a lot so I jumped out , it was burning smoke white but not coolant or oil something was burning on the engine or electrical but electrical doesn’t make sense if the dash stayed on . I had to get pushed by the police . Called him right after he said he’d look at it . Went there today now 2 days later cause yesterday was closed , he said it’s electrics and if it is he’s not fixing it . I’m telling him no it’s not because I know my car once again , then we’re arguing and I tell him listen, I came to you to not go to small claims . He then says go to small claims . Am I wrong to go fuck that whole shop up ? Or better more mature way do I just take it thru to small claims . Either way im done with this car the money im putting in is equal to a payment every month since the year started . Somebody let me know , or at least a sign of what it may be so I can look my damn self

Seized?

Was driving , had low oil pressure light . It was from an oil leak on my pan , but I got it replaced yesterday and oil was there I’ve been checking . I did notice it sounded off though , from how it normally sounds . I Was driving , accelerated a bit but didn’t fully push the pedal ; then I noticed my power definitely wasn’t there . Less than a min after I got to the next intersection accelerated a tiny bit and engine shut off completely. After it stopped in the middle it was smoking from the hood ( smelled electrical or like something else burning but not oil as im familiar with the smell ) and the engine wouldn’t turn back over just that one click . I’ll check again in the morning to double check it’s just that one click if so It’s sad to now have to get a lease

Less than a min after got to the next intersection accelerated a tiny bit and engine shut off completely, I tried to make the turn but it didn’t turn the car . I’m not sure what to do now really thinking about a lease at this point it’s something every month the same cost of a payment .
