Hey everyone, I have lately had many problems with my car, and I dont know what going on. I need someone to point me in the right direction... 07 TC with 68,000 miles on it.....got it brand new.....2 Months ago i went to EZLube to get my oil change, and I guess they forgot to put oil in it, and as Im driving to school my car breaks down on me......They took it to a shop who replaced my motor on them.......My car had leaks after that, which then I went back to get fixed, and I guess I had messed up a gasket so they replaced my motor again free of charge.......Then yesterday I discovered that my power steering fluid was leaking a lil bit. I also replaced my battery because my car died on me and it had no battery, yesterday, but I dont think my dad installed it right since I discovered it was loose a lil bit last nite in which my car died on me after my HIDS went out, my gauges began to dim, my navigation pioneer z2 went out on me, my car felt slower, and my speedometer and my rpm gauges began to go up and down at their own pace for some weird reason. The tow truck guy said it might be the alternator.........But im not sure. Do you guys think it could be the alternator, and/or battery, or do you think that it could be anything else, maybe engine relted or something or what? Thanks for all your help in advance!!!

I would look over everything. Alternator, hoses, check the battery terminals, fluids. It was a replaced engine so you gotta make sure everything is in correctly. I think some mechanic shops do like a 75 point inspection on it or something like that

You could get your battery tested at a local auto shop to see if that's the problem. If it's not, it would most likely be the alternator.

But you have so many things going on at once that it might be best to bring it in for an inspection. Do you have the extended warranty on it? The dealership would definitely take care of you for that.

Yea, I do still have the extended warranty on it, but I think that since I have a greddy evo 2 exhaust, injen intake, headers, and a chip, that my warranty is voided, or the dealer will gimme ____ about it and not cover it.......im gettin my car towed to midas tommorow to see if they can fix the problem. my friend who works there said he can get me an installed alternator for 200 if thats the problem. good deal? not sure at all. any input is very helpful lol thanks guys

Sounds like EZLube wasn't so easy...Sorry to hear about all your misfortunes...Hopefully it's something simple like your alternator...

lesson to be learned from all of this at least for myself. do your own oil changes ive seen this happen numerous times where places forget to put oil back in the motor
