💥 1 involved a crash 🚑 1 reported injury
🔍 Check coolant level and color, look for leaks, and confirm the engine reaches normal temperature without overheating.
🔍 Brakes should feel firm and quiet — no grinding, pulsing or pulling. Check for an ABS light and uneven pad/rotor wear.
🔍 Have a trusted mechanic inspect this system as part of a pre-purchase inspection.
🔍 Check for fuel or battery warnings, hard starts and stalling. On a hybrid/EV, confirm charging and range behave normally.
🔍 Drive through every gear: watch for slipping, hard or delayed shifts, and shudder. Check for transmission/driveline leaks and noises.
🔍 Test wipers, washers, defrosters and all mirrors. Check the windshield for cracks and any camera/sensor for fogging or faults.
Pre-purchase checklist
- Match the VIN on the dash, door jamb and title — they must be identical.
- Cold-start the engine; listen for knocks and check for blue or white exhaust smoke.
- Test-drive through all gears at low and highway speed — no slipping, shudder or pulling.
- Confirm every warning light clears at startup (none should stay on).
- Check fluids — oil, coolant, transmission — for level, color and leaks.
- Look underneath for rust, fresh undercoating or signs of collision repair.
- Always get an independent pre-purchase inspection from a trusted mechanic.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I RECEIVED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE THAT INDICATED A EVAP SYSTEM LEAK. THEN I NOTICED THE SMELL OF FUEL AFTER FILLING UP AND A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. EXAMINED FUEL FILLER PIPE AND FUEL TANK AND DISCOVERED THE FILLER PIPE NEAR THE FUEL TANK IS CORRODED AND LEAKING FUEL. I COULD NOT DETERMINE THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE LEAK.
