Cesar, I'm sorry to hear about so many things breaking down at once. That can be overwhelming.
I was just wondering, in relation to the two cars, are repair service plans offered in Mexico? We have those up here in the States; some are better than others. With so many repairs you and your mom's cars have been through, I was just wondering if a repair service plan might be helpful. Perhaps people more knowledgeable about vehicles such as
@Goofyernmost or
@donaldtoo might have some additional insight into these service plans.
Dont worry! it sucks but we will coast over these problems like we have done in the past many times.
As for plans. The only companies that offer these kind of guarantee plans are the big Ford and motor companies.
Not worth, since my car was supposedly "fixed" 10 times when my dad was alive.
They always said "your car as nothing, its fine". Just to break a week or so after.
They never fully reviewed the engine. They just check with the darn computer.
It was an electrician who had nothing to do with the engine issues that found the fissure on my car's engine pump.
How the "experts" of Ford didn't find that giant hole.. no clue.. but it was the last straw that made me lift my middle finger to them.
I dont trust "experts" anymore.
But I'm pretty sure that my car's issues have been lingering and hidden for so many years.
I always fix the most glaring ones thinking they were these hidden ones.. but nope. they reappear somewhere.
For example.. the older issues I had, were related to car shutting down.
It was both the battery, the spark plugs and the cables. They were replaced.. car worked fine for 6 months. Then started to overheat. Electrician found the giant gapping hole in the water pump (which shutdown the radiator because there was no coolant). Issue fixed!
Now car was having brakes problems.. fixed already! (last issue).
Now its turning off again randomly (possible RPM control and electrical issue)
so, one by one, I will fix this darn car!.
