1. rock chip in windshield turns into huge crack
2. Front tires worn out
3. AC no longer blows cold
4. Smoke coming from turbo area (I think it might be the valve cover gaskets)

all in the past month

There goes my weekend and my wallet

 

Damn how much miles does your suby have? Stock?

 

sounds like good times!

 

I feel your pain. Got my car out of the body shop last month. This morning, late for work hungover car in weird parking spot at bar. Short pole next to front drivers side that you can not see from inside car. HIT POLE dented front fender scraped the front plastic and the new headlight. All on FRESH paint.

 

Not to be a dick - but it sounds like it's been drizzling for awhile.
None of this stuff happens overnight

 

Could be worse. I was on an out of town trip for work for a week when my power steering pump decided to go out on the freeway about half way into a 2hr drive up. That was fun. Naturally while it was in the dealer they found some other issues and they also told me the pump was not covered under my powertrain warranty. Needless to say, it cost me a little under $1700*!)*#&

 

Yeah, my A/C doesn't work either....

 

Power steering just gave out too. Power steering leaking is probably causing the smoke. Yea the tires and the glass I've been putting off for a while

 

Haha that list is less than what I've been dealing with my car...ac hasn't worked for a while either haha, tires worn, torn turbo inlet killed my motor (that I got last year, had less than 15k on it)...just got a new motor, and 500miles into break in something else starts making noise(suspected turbo is on its way out), cv boots are leaking, suspension is starting to creak, fog lights don't work, front brake padsare low, just replaced the rear rotors/pads, the ps pump and probably someother stuff I can't remember now...

I feel your pain...especially in the $$ department, really convenient that everything starts breaking at once..

I'm hoping that after this last round of repairs my car should be good for a while...

 

nope. it doesn't work like that.

you fix something, then something else breaks. It continues. non stop. ask me how i know.

 

what was the result with your car? how did the compression check go

 

$1700, for real, damn, new pump costs like $300 the most
you guys have to start wrenching in your garages

 

Damn Brian maybe I should stop complaining. Your car didn't seem in that bad of shape when I met you up for those MS6 rims

 

Haha most of my car problems aren't cosmetic, and my exhaust is louder than the creaks and squeaks so it doesn't seem like anythings wrong ha

You put those ms6 wheels on yet?

 

That's why it's almost better just to keep your car stock.... less issues down the line.
