Ron Ananian dives deep into the complexities of transmission fluid maintenance, addressing common misconceptions about 'lifetime' fluids and the importance of regular changes. He engages with callers, providing personalized advice on transmission service, the implications of fluid changes, and the potential pitfalls of neglecting maintenance. The episode features practical insights on diagnosing issues in various vehicles, including a discussion about the challenges of modern automotive technology. Ron's extensive experience shines through as he balances technical knowledge with relatable anecdotes.
This week on Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor, Ron opens with a nod to The Sopranos and that famous Holsten’s ice cream shop before diving into the realities behind “lifetime” fluids and modern transmission service. A caller with a 2017 Ford Fusion asks about trans fluid intervals, and Ron lays out why waiting until 150,000 miles is a bad bet—and how to approach drain-and-fills vs. fluid exchanges without shocking an aging gearbox.
From there it’s a full diagnostic tour: a 2015 Nissan Rogue with no heat (airflow but no temperature), where Ron walks through heater-core flow checks, blend doors, and a cheap thermal gun/borescope game plan; a 2018 VW Tiguan plagued by an endless “keyless entry faulty” chime and a dealer pushing an $800 module, prompting a blunt discussion of broken door-jamb wiring and the “German car experience”; and a 2022 Kia Sportage owner trying to sort out backup lamp failures, recall history, and a key Kia bulletin that should keep the repair under warranty. Ron closes with a heartfelt thank-you to the listeners, a reflection on staying “relevant” after 30+ years on the air, and a quick reminder that the Car Doctor store at CardoctorShow.com is open for last-minute gifts.

You know, I'm not sure.
Every time I hear that song,
I think about Tony Soprano getting whacked
in the ice cream parlor in Montclair, New Jersey.
Actually, I don't think that's Montclair.
I think it's Nutley.
But yeah, I don't know.
I haven't listened to that song in a long time
and I just think, poor Tony.
What a, not to be off subject here,
but what a crazy TV show, right?
We can actually take a ruthless mobster
and have everybody cheer for him
and beat the press when the guy ends up
getting killed at the end of the show.
Oh, wait, what if somebody,
you haven't seen the Sopranos?
Oops, I gave away the ending.
Sorry, in any event, thank you for stopping by today.
I just, I tell you, every time I hear that,
that's what I think of.
So we've got a bunch of things to go over
and talk about today.
I've got an article about automotive news
talking about the 6.2 liter GM engine failure
and some of the other things that are going on
and what it takes to replace those engines.
We'll try and get to that.
We've got a bevy of phone calls
and let's get right to the phones
and get started at 855-560-9900.
Let's go to Brian in the great city of Philadelphia, 12, 17.
I'm sorry, a 17 Ford Fusion.
Some questions about trans fluid.
Brian, welcome back, sir.
How can I help you today?
Thank you, Ryan.
Real quick, the ice cream parlor
was Holstens in Bloomfield.
That's right.
There you go.
I knew it.
It's right on the board,
isn't it right on the border of Montclair though?
Yeah, Montclair is like a minute away or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But yeah, I actually went there.
It's kind of weird to sit in that booth.
You know, I would go down there once in a while
to visit some people and, oh wait, let's go.
We'd go and have ice cream.
We'd sit in that exact same booth
and they've got a little plaque there.
Tony Soprano was off here or something like that
if you had exactly what it says.
But yeah, it's just a weird deal.
So what's going on today, my friend?
How can I help?
Well, here's the deal.
I know like you've talked about this before.
Unfortunately, a lot of the cars today, the Transfluid,
they call it to be changed in 150,000,
which most people know is a pretty long length of time.
And as far as you know, mine is sealed.
You can't check the fluid or anything like that.
So it wasn't done.
My mechanic is always trying to talk me out of it.
It's like, no, no, wait till 150.
So I'm like, I'm saying to myself,
I'd rather just get it done.
My biggest question is this,
is the Trans service, would it be a drain and fill
or would that be a flush?
Good question.
So at the risk of repeating myself,
let's start at the beginning.
I think certain Transfluids do not have to be changed.
And I'm still debating it in my head.
Some of the Chrysler products,
the Jeeps with the plastic TransPan,
it gets expensive, right?
Some of the Jeep TransPans,
the filters, the fluids,
I've seen them go out the door of our shop.
I've seen them go out the door of other shops,
$7 to $800 to service a Transmission.
It seems exorbitant.
But the fact is there's 18, 20 bolts holding the pan up.
It takes forever to get the pan down.
The fluid's not cheap.
Eight, nine speed Transfluid from Chrysler is a fortune.
It's an expensive repair.
And you talk to Chrysler tech support
and they say there's no value in changing Transfluid
because it has no effect on the transmission.
The transmission can compensate for the varied viscosity
and what was the word they used?
Traction ability.
I thought that was a new word.
I looked it up at Webster's, it's not there,
but I get what they're saying.
They're saying as the fluid wears out,
the Trans compensates for that until the Trans wears out
and then you put a Trans in the car for seven grand.
I still think changing that fluid at 50,000 miles
on most of these vehicles, 50 to 60,
is probably the cheaper alternative.
The question becomes, will it be cheaper?
I still think at 150,000 to 200,000 miles,
most cars take a Transmission.
I just do.
That seems to be the number.
I think if I was driving your Fusion
to get back to your exact question,
I would have changed the fluid at 50 and every 50 thereafter.
I think the 150,000 mile fluid service,
I'm gonna get a lot of hate mail
and I'm gonna get a lot of the internet trolls
that say, no, Ron, you're wrong,
but they're gonna tell me, oh, my Trans has 168,000 miles
on it, I've never serviced it.
Yeah, great, you got the one.
Show me the proportionate ratio of how many of them
go to that 150,000 mile mark and beyond.
You know, there's more than one bulletin
on certain model Lincoln MKs and MXs
and that translates into the Fusion
and the other Ford models that are similar to it
that are wiping out torque converters.
Why?
Because of Trans fluid, the Trans fluid is breaking down.
What does Ford have you do?
They have you put converters in,
they have you put fluid changes in.
When do those failures occur?
100,000 miles.
So, where's the 150,000 mile mark phenomena come from?
Like why?
I think marketing's involved.
I think marketing's involved, Brian.
If that car puked the Trans at 130
and it was six grand to replace the Trans,
would you do it?
Absolutely not, I would rather change the fluid
but what really is interesting
is my 2005 Taurus call for the Trans fluid
would be drain and filled every 30,000, which I did.
My Nissan Ultima called for it, I think it's 50 or 60
but they always said with that CVT,
you had, there's no way around it,
you must, you know, with the Nissan CVT,
you had to do it or else that thing would fail.
That would fail.
So, if we're talking about your fluid
at 109,000 miles or whatever the heck you got on it.
One or not.
First time through, first time through
I'm gonna do a drain and fill, all right?
Because I don't wanna shock the system.
All right, if this was, hey, you know,
the car's got 49,000 miles on it, Ron, what do I do?
I tell you, let's do a fluid exchange.
All right, not a flush, a fluid exchange.
All right, we use mala fluid equipment at the shop.
We actually use their Fluid Pro ATX 280,
which is one of their newer Trans fluid machines.
Works really well and basically what it is,
it's sort of like the go between.
You hook one side up to the cooler in,
the other side to the, and you,
and it processes fluid through and back and adds
and you're able to exchange fluid.
It's an exchange, it's a one-for-one exchange.
If there's a dipstick, we could do it through a dipstick,
but it's not pressure.
Pressure denotes, you know, I'm sorry,
a flush denotes pressure.
And I don't like pressure used
when I'm talking about transmissions
because that tends to stir up sediment and crud
and create issues internally in the trans.
At 109,000, I'm gonna do a fluid drain and fill.
And then I'm gonna come back in five or 10,000 miles
and do it again.
And it's not that hard to do, Brian.
It's not impossible.
It's not easy for you to do it yourself,
but for the mechanic,
once he's got the car up in the air,
he's gonna open it up.
It's either gonna be a fill port and check port
in the front of the transmission over on the left side
or it's gonna be behind the driver's side wheel.
There's gonna be a 10 millimeter, 11 millimeter plug
that comes out and you can check fluid level there
and fluid color, quantity, condition, et cetera.
So.
I didn't think you could check it at all.
I figured you don't have to test it anymore.
Yeah, no, you can't.
Mechanics can.
If you talk to manufacturers,
they'll tell you the reason they went
to the more difficult way of checking trans fluid
is because they didn't want consumers
to add incorrect fluid to the transmissions.
I think it's a marketing.
I think it's a marketing thing, brother.
I think they all sat there and they said,
we're building them so good, they're not gonna break.
So this way, if we make it so nobody can service it,
they'll drive it till it blows up
and then just go buy another one.
Yeah, you know, my four dealer would tell me that.
Yeah, I really believe it
because it doesn't make sense.
It really doesn't.
I don't know how you have my 2005 Taurus call
for 30,000, this calls for 150.
I mean, that's a big difference.
Right.
So when you start to look at what they're doing,
General Motors, for example, their 10-speed transmission,
they put the torque converter,
which is the fluid coupling
between the engine and the transmission,
they put it into mechanical lock for everything,
turn the air conditioning on, lock the converter,
change gears, lock the converter, downshift,
lock the converter.
Why?
You can read the bulletins they talk about
for enhanced customer performance and satisfaction.
Yeah, what does that mean?
In other words, they work the trans to death.
You know, everything you do with a transmission creates what?
Heat.
What breaks down fluid?
Heat.
What causes the trans to fail?
Heat.
So guess what?
We're giving you enhanced customer satisfaction
and performance until the trans blows up
and then what do you get?
Heat from the customer.
So heat's involved in a lot of this, right?
Well, it's a lifetime trans fluid,
but how do they define a lifetime?
150,000 is the life of your transmission?
I mean, it's a lifetime, but...
It is lifetime.
If the trans fails at 109,000 miles,
that was its lifetime.
Right.
Right?
So if you go by a craftsman tool from Sears,
I'm dating myself and you live to be 69 years old,
that was lifetime.
If I lived to be 102, that was my lifetime.
Everybody's got a different lifetime, right?
We've all got different expectations, brother.
So...
But you know, my mechanic,
I always have to talk him into things.
It's like, I don't want you to have to spend
too much money.
I have to talk him in to certain things.
I don't know what it is.
I mean, all the buy book payments is fine,
but something like this,
I'll have to talk him into doing this.
He may be, you know,
he may just be afraid of the liability,
because let's face it,
there is some liability here.
This vehicle's, you know, 70 years old,
it's got higher mileage on it.
He may be concerned changing the fluid
is going to cause the trans's demise.
But I bet you a cheese steak,
if and whenever I get the filly,
that you're going to drain that fluid out,
and it's going to be blacker than coal.
It just is.
I can be red.
I say that.
It's not going to be red.
I see these,
I see these trans fluids start to break down 40,
50,000 miles.
So anyway, I got to run, Brian.
Always get to talk to you.
You be well,
and have a great holiday season down Philadelphia way.

and how there's different styles of it.
For example, you have like Pesso comes out,
and he's just screaming energies up.
I've seen Pesso do that.
But he runs kind of like, I don't know.
He just kind of walks around.
They just got to see my face.
He's like mellow, huh?
Yeah, he walks like a little.
So he has a little step.
Like slow-mo.
I'm like, okay, so there's different styles.
I realized that you kind of choose your style on stage.
You kind of choose your style the same way you choose your style of music.
And you go with it, and the number one thing is confidence.

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod.
Pod, say hi, Dan.
Hey, how's it going today?
It's going good, man.
Tell us who you are and what you do.
I'm Dan Morgan.
I'm an attorney and a managing partner
at Morgan & Morgan, which is America's largest
injury law firm.
That's pretty awesome.
Why do you guys think you win so many cases?
The insurance companies and other companies
that we go against know that we're
going to take it to the end that we believe in the case.
So we fight for every dollar, and we're not
afraid to go that extra mile for our clients.
Are insurance companies actually afraid of you guys?
We don't bluff.
We take it to trial, and we are not
strangers of getting very, very, very large verdicts.
Awesome.
So how does someone get in contact with Morgan & Morgan?
What would I do if I got into an accident?
Probably the easiest way is dialing Pound Law.
That's Pound 529 from your cell phone.
And our call center is always waiting to take your call.
247-365.
Wow.

Oh, we didn't hear from Santa Claus that break.
By the way, Tom, I need off in two weeks.
I can't get to tell you.
Have I told you that I have some place to go in two weeks?
I won't be here.
But all kinds of special stuff to slay this year.
No, really.
Anyway, just to let you know, if I'm not here in two weeks,
do the best you can without me.
America will suffer.
But I'll get all your toys here on time.
Let's go to Brad in Iowa.
15 Nissan Rogue and some heat issues.
Brad, we got to fix this.
It's too cold in Iowa this time of year.
Sure is.
Yeah, tell me the story.
What's going on?
Well, I've got a friend of mine that's got a 2015 Nissan
Rogue, and it's not blowing any hot air throughout the vents.
The vents are working.
They're blowing like you put it down on the floorboard
or that to the upper levels.
All that works, but just no heat.
So position, position, direction works.
You can direct the air where you want it.
You just don't get hot air.
Absolutely.
OK, is this a split system?
Can you make the driver's side one temperature
and the passenger's side the other temperature?
You know what?
I'm not sure on that.
OK, which, by the way, I think is a stupid idea.
Because let's face it, the air comes out of the duct
unless there's a plastic wall between you and the passenger.
I don't ever get what good that is.
But OK, let's just complicate things.
Anyway, so any recent engine work, cooling system work,
we woke up one day the heat was like this,
or did somebody do a repair attempt, et cetera?
What's the history?
Well, I do know the car was bought from an auction.
So if that tells you anything.
I mean, somebody else couldn't fix it either.
Yeah, I mean, that could be.
Right, so let's do this, all right.
What experience do you have working on cars, Brad?
I am an auto body technician.
I've been doing body work for about 30 years.
And I just get kind of a following.
People, I can do this, do that.
So let's do this logically, all right?
First question I've got is, what are the two heater hoses going
in and out of the heater core?
Are they as one side hot, uncomfortable to the touch,
and the other side cooler?
And then how much cooler is it?
Do you own a heat gun, by chance, a thermal gun?
You know, I don't.
And I've been always wanting to pick one up,
so I'm going to have to ask the other one.
Here's the reason.
Here's the reason, brother.
You know what?
And I've got to tell you, I was down at Harbor Freight,
a couple of, well, last weekend.
You look at some of that stuff from Harbor Freight,
and you go, how bad could it be?
I just wonder, you know, go pick up a thermal gun,
and it's just got a display temperature,
and I would look at temp, right?
If the engine is coming up the temp,
if the upper radiator hose when it's hot
is uncomfortable to the touch.
And for the sake of this conversation,
I'm going to plug in, I need an OBD2 scan tool.
I'm sure you own one of those, yes?
Yep.
Okay, go look at coolant temp.
If the thermostat is supposed to open,
we'll make up some numbers at 195 degrees,
and it's running at 190 this time of year.
I'm happy with that.
Driving down the road, it shouldn't go much below that.
I'd like to see it maintain a minimum of 195 degrees
off the mark, because it's cold out there, right?
Come back, upper hose is hot, system circulating,
it's full of coolant, there's no air.
All the usual caveats that you want to go and check,
okay?
And then shoot the heater core.
Is, does the heater hose match the upper hose?
If the upper hose is reading 170 degrees,
because there's always a little bit of loss,
that rubber hose tends to insulate the heat,
has always been my experience.
But if I'm 170 at the upper hose,
am I 160 at the heater hose?
If I am, what am I coming out?
I'll typically see a 25 to 30 degree loss
if the core has good flow
and is able to radiate off its heat.
What I don't wanna see is I'm 160 in and 100 degrees out.
Something's wrong, I'm restricted, right?
I'm not getting enough flow, okay?
So, and in some cases, I'll get 160 in and 150 out.
That's like a real good core.
It's not uncommon for these cores to be restricted, okay?
They tend to get scaly and cruddy, especially as they age.
And then we're gonna go through the,
you call me back if that's the case
and we'll talk about the, you know,
Ron's method of a white bucket, two hoses,
and a garden hose and we can back flush
the core safely and correctly, all right?
Then I wanna know, you know, are the,
so the distribution is working,
but is the temp door working, right?
Can the, you know, when I move it from hot to cold,
does the actuator physically move?
Does the air door motor physically move?
So, while you're at harbor freight, you're gonna love this.
You get to go buy yourself a bore scope
if you don't own one.
Take the bore scope, go right down the center duct.
You should be able to see the doors move.
It's gonna be right there.
It's not that far down the pike
because either that or you're gonna shove your head
under the dashboard and that's the biggest pain in the neck.
If you've been doing body work for 30 years,
you're old like me.
So it's hard getting under the dashboard, right?
So we wanna go look at the blend doors
or we wanna use the bore scope
to go look at the linkages of the actuator doors,
the air temp doors.
Are they physically moving, all right?
If they're not physically moving,
then we've got a broken door, broken linkage,
broken case, something along those lines.
So go buy some tools, basic common sense, brother.
Body guys are always real smart.
So go do what you gotta do.
Call me back next week if you need more.
I'm Ronan Aeney in the car doctor,
855-5600-9900.
We'll return right after this.
So you're telling me that the AI that's meant
to make everyone's job easier to manage
just adds more to manage on top of the thousands
of apps the IT department already manages.
Funny how that works.

you learned from watching Ivan Coronel perform?

That's pretty awesome.
I think I saw Billboard of yours recently
that said 20 billion one.
20 billion is an insane number.
Yeah, 20 billion recovered.
It's actually, I think, somewhere north,
probably closer to 22, 23 after this year.
And each year we get bigger and batter
and our army grows,
so the number will hopefully keep getting bigger
and bigger as time goes on.
Awesome.

You know, that's kind of got the hullabaloo sound to it, right?
Remember hullabaloo?
1967.
We get a couple of dancers in the gilded cage.
The whole thing going on.
And I'll be ready when you're ready.
You know, by the way, Tom, you didn't comment.
I'm not going to let you.
But you see the beard I'm growing?
I'm going to get that Arnold Schwarzenegger thing going.
So this way the next time I'm on the radio show,
I can say, I'll be back.
You know, that'll be, it'll change the end of the show.
No, OK.
Let me get to the phones.
In the meantime here, let me go to Dennis in New Jersey.
Dennis, I hope you have a sense of humor.
Tom's not, Tom doesn't think I'm very funny today.
How you doing today, sir?
Hey, I have a beard.
I have no complaints.
Yeah, I'm starting, you know, it's that little,
I got that little salt and pepper thing going on.
It's, you know, I'm going to be that Arnold Schwarzenegger
of radio.
So anyway, let's cook it.
I have a 2018 Volkswagen T1 SE, getting an error message.
Keyless entry faulty.
I brought it to the dealer a year ago.
And I couldn't even have an intelligent conversation
with them.
Scary, isn't it?
Extremely, extremely.
You know, this is, you know, it's funny.
At the end of the previous hour, I was talking to Brian.
I think it was Brian in Wisconsin about the German car
experience.
And here it is.
So, you know, this is what makes these vehicles so complex.
Have you ever ridden in the space shuttle, Dennis?
No, but I've seen.
Right.
I think you're driving one.
So just let's show where this conversation is going to go.
But go ahead.
I don't need to interrupt.
Go ahead.
You keep going.
OK.
All right.
Now, I bring it to the dealer.
I tell him what the problem is.
I show him what the problem is.
They take the car in.
The guy comes out and says it needs a module for $800.
OK.
Then they turn around and I ask them, is there any codes?
Is there going to be some kind of code?
It's got a message on the dash.
There's got to be some kind of body code error message.
A reason?
Dennis, you're being reasonable.
A reasonable question.
Go ahead.
So I don't think the guy even troubleshoot shot it.
The door on the passenger side with the key fob in my pocket
and the door lock, I can go open it.
It works normally.
The driver's side door doesn't.
This indicates to me that it's probably
a problem with the door lock, a loose wire,
or something like that, not an $800 module.
I don't have any faith that this guy can actually fix it.
And I need a little direction.
Here's the problem, right?
Volkswagen, in their infinite wisdom of,
we've got all the answers and where the best there is,
limits what the aftermarket can do without a serious investment
by the shop and programming equipment.
So it gets a little tricky, all right?
You are spot on, right?
If you've got a keyless entry module error
fault on the dashboard, 98% sure
and I can prove it, you're going to see some sort of a fault
code.
The fault codes for this car are way overdone.
It's not OBD2 stuff.
It's manufacturer specific.
It's like a B122 D29 or a B122 B13.
It's language like we're launching missiles, all right?
Because this is the German car experience.
So needless to say, you didn't get any of the work done,
correct?
No, the only problem is it's not something I need fixed.
The only problem is that this car beeps every 20 seconds.
It beeps and the error message pops up.
The error message goes away another 20 seconds
and it's just annoying and you can't turn it off.
Right, no you can't because it sees a fault,
which I think you have to go back and ask them.
So in your logic, you're telling me a car
that beeps every 20 seconds and displays error messages
on the dashboard has no fault code to give you
some kind of diagnostic direction.
And then we can see what kind of geniuses
they are at that point.
Where I would be looking, all kidding around aside,
is I see cases of broken wiring in the door jams.
It's like a 63 Chevy, except it's not, right?
Where the door jam wiring gets broken,
where the wires start to break and fray.
As complicated as they make it,
it's still simple, stupid stuff half the time
that causes the failure.
Where did he come up with the module error?
Well, because he's probably looking at it on a scan tool.
I would hope he's looking at it on a scan tool
and he can't communicate with the driver's door module.
You know why?
The wires are broken.
I mean, it would be logical to me.
I just, you know, it's modules don't fail.
I mean, they fail, but good Lord,
you've got to go through some basics.
Power, ground, serial data.
What can I talk to?
What can I talk to?
And I think your question to them is,
will this $800 module fix my problem?
And, you know, that's language in any case, right Dennis?
You and I have talked over the years.
It's a matter of, you know, it's,
will this fix my problem?
Well, if they give you the two-bit shuffle
and they step and put the foot, you know,
and we're looking at the ground, you know?
Maybe we're not, you know, maybe we're guessing here.
You know, and that's what we've got to go look at.
So I think a code scan is more than reasonable.
Heck, on a Volkswagen, we code scan on oil changes
just because we don't know what we're going to find.
You know, they're just, again,
it's the space shuttle brother.
It's not a simple vehicle.
So I think if you want to get it fixed,
it's going to be a code scan.
Will this fix my problem?
Can you do the programming
because the dealership's got to program it
and what's the total cost going to be?
Did you own the car since new?
Yes.
Okay, so no accidents, right?
The car was never hit.
No body work ever done to that driver's side.
Yeah, okay.
You know, I would start to think about,
like I said, connectors and, you know,
I driver's door wiring harness problems
and that's typical, that's more common than modules.
I'll say it like that.
Do you think a body shop would be more able
to fix this than the dealer?
No.
I think a shop that is going to have programming capability
and that's the trick.
And I know where you are in New Jersey.
I don't know anybody that's that in depth
on Volkswagen other than the dealer
because of the costs involved
in the programming nature of that particular repair.
And I think if somebody tells you they can do it,
I'd want to see their equipment
and know that they can do it
because this is like going to Cedar Sinai
for open heart surgery.
You want to make sure they can complete the operation,
not get halfway through and go, oops,
which is a bad thing to hear from a mechanic or a doctor.
You know, oops means a lot of different things.
So, all right, sir.
Well, okay, thanks Ron.
You're very welcome Dennis.
Good luck and enjoy your German car.
I'm sorry to say.
I'm not going to say what VW means.
Tom's dying to hear me say VW means virtually worthless
but I'm not going to say it.
Not here on radio.
855-560-9900, the car doctor's coming back right after this.

Sean, yes, sir.
Ron and Amy, the guard doctor at your service.
How can I help?
Hey, Ron, how are you, sir?
I am good, sir.
I am very well.
How are things up in Vermont today?
A lot of snob.
I'm good.
Hey, Ron, how are you, sir?
I am good, sir.
I am very well.
How are things up in Vermont today?
A lot of snob.
How are things up in Vermont today?
A lot of snob.
A lot of snob.
Very cold.
Yeah.
You know.
How cold, how cold is it?
Make the rest of us feel better.
Well, it was four below yesterday morning.
It was 11 this morning above.
Look at all the money.
See Sean talking to you.
It's, it's, it's 28 degrees where I am.
And look at all the money I saved.
I don't have to go to Florida now.
So you just make me feel better.
So how can I help you today, my friend?
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for taking my call.
Obviously.
And Tom is awesome.
Yup.
Yup.
One of the many, one of the many reasons we keep Tom around.
As a matter of fact, if you go to, if you want to see something really neat, if you
have Facebook, go to the Rana Nene and the car doctor Facebook page.
And I took a picture of it.
I posted today's office view, the, the, the working setup Tom put together so we
can do remotes now from anywhere in the world.
And you know, we've got ideas and we're talking about, do we take this thing on
the road and how far out do we go?
But it's, it's a pretty magnanimous view of what he created.
Tom's one of the best.
Tom is the best radio engineer in the business, I should say.
So, but, um, yeah, anyway, onto your question before I run out of time.
I'll talk about time.
I can talk about Tom for minutes hours.
So, um, anyway, what's going on?
2022 Kia Sportage.
Okay.
Oh, and, and there it is.
I knew that was coming.
So, um, go ahead, Sean.
So I purchased it, uh, certified pre-owned and prior to actually, uh, buying the
vehicle, um, I wanted to make sure all the safety recalls were cleared up.
So I had a tow hitch, uh, recall on the vehicle, uh, the tow hitch harness.
So, uh, they cleared that up and then, um, 5,000 miles or so later, I went in for my
oil change and they had said, um, everything was good to go.
Love the vehicle, but the, uh, right rear lamp, uh, was out.
It needed to be replaced.
The backup lamp.
Okay.
Yes.
The assembly, which was $175.
So, is, is the right rear lamp assembly, is it the backup lamp, the brake light, the
combination light, that whole mix?
Yes, sir.
Okay.
And is it an LED or a bulb assembly?
Um, it's a bulb assembly.
All right.
So I, I opted not to get that fixed at the time, but I went in, um, six months later,
uh, for a, an inspection and they said the other one was out.
So I was told, um, I did a little, um, you know, research on the internet, whatever
that means.
They said, um, sometimes it can be damaged by a technician, uh, during the
totally itch recall.
And I'm just wondering if I get.
Listen, anything's possible, careless mechanics and so forth.
But what I would want to read, and this is why you look, this is why you
love me, Sean.
And this is why you're called.
I've run across this.
I want to go read Keo technical bulletin two 99.
But what does that say about a company?
Did you read two 99 and they talk about the software update and the
combination lamp replacement?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes.
And have you considered that?
I, I thought they had, you know, uh, I'm registered with car facts and I
thought all the recalls were taken care of.
Well, I think, I think I want to specifically ask that question because
if it hasn't been done, it should be done.
And if it has been done, it was done within the last two years, right?
Yes, sir.
So if it went bad again, what did you think it would be under warranty?
I would say because the repair was over $600.
Right.
So I think your argument is this is you talking to the service writer.
So you're telling me your three year old car that you replaced the tail
lamps in somewhere in the last two years had a problem with more tail
lamps and the software fix on bulletin two 99 didn't work.
And you think this is a reliable car that I want to keep for the next
five years.
See what he says to that.
Right.
Ask him about bulletin two 99 and the 99.
Right.
Because there was a software upgrade and a lamp inspection.
And that was part of bulletin two 99.
And I had it done before a bought the vehicle.
Well, you think you did.
You're not sure.
I would want to make sure.
Listen, because then I got to go Sean real quick.
Right.
Everybody gets a chance to prove who they are and what they are
in life, whether you're fixing cars, dating or doing business in
general.
All right.
Here's the moment where you bought a car six months ago.
It's a CPO car certified pre-owned.
Right.
You said that.
That means that they give it the utmost care and the utmost
consideration.
I don't think this is a problem for them to go back to key and
say, Hey, we need to make Sean happy.
Somebody's got to take the initiative.
If the service writer doesn't give you the right answer.
Go talk to the front of the horse and find the service
manager and see what sort of answers he gives you.
But you want to inquire deeply about bullets in two 99.
I'm Ron and any in the car doctor.
We're back right after this.
So let me get this straight.
Your company has data here, there and everywhere.
But your AI can't use the data because it's here, there and
everywhere.
Seems like something's missing.
Every business has unique data.
IBM helps your AI access your data wherever it lives to
change how you do business.
Let's create smarter business.

What's up, everyone?
We're Angel, Diego and Jason and we're the host of
Augusta Bapa podcast where we talk all things in the world
of regional Mexican music.
And recently we had Julio Cesar on as a guest.
Check this out.
And what would he say is the biggest thing you learned
from watching Ivan Coronel perform?
The way you carry yourself, I think that's something that
I try to watch a lot and how there's different styles
of it.
For example, you have like Pesso comes out and he's
just screaming energies up.
I've seen Pesso do that.
He's kind of like, I don't know, he just kind of walks around.
Looks like they just got to see my face.
He's like mellow, huh?
Yeah, he walks like a little, so he has a little step.
Like slow-mo.
I'm like, okay, so there's different styles.
I realize that like you kind of choose your style on the
stage, you kind of choose your style the same way you
choose your style of music and you go with it and the
number one thing is confidence.

Say hi, Dan.
Hi,
I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod.
Say hi, Dan.
Hey, how's it going today?
It's going good, man.
Tell us who you are and what you do.
I'm Dan Morgan.
I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan & Morgan, which is America's largest
injury law firm.
That's pretty awesome.
I think I saw Billboard in years recently that said $20 billion won.
$20 billion is an insane number.
Yeah, $20 billion recovered.
It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to $22, $23 after this
year.
This year, we get bigger and batter and our army grows, so the number will hopefully keep
getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.
Awesome.
So how does someone get in contact with Morgan & Morgan?
What would I do if I got into an accident?
Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law.
That's pound 529 from your cell phone.
We are always open.
Our call center is always waiting to take your call.

You know, I hate this part of the show.
You know why?
Because that means the show is almost over.
And this is where the pressure really lines up because I've got about two minutes to
say something really witty and enticing that makes you want to come back for next
week.
I don't think I could do that.
I will say this though in all seriousness.
I think more and more about this radio show, another year is about to go by.
And it's 30 plus something years we're doing this.
And of course we have those moments, you know, you don't want to stay on too long, right?
You always hear that in show business, you ever want to stay on too long and is
it time to go?
And Tom and I have talked about it the last two years and we just keep getting
those cards and letters from all of you and the responses and, you know, you make
us feel like we're still needed.
And I think that's reason enough.
I tell my family that I will stop doing radio when I'm no longer relevant.
And judging by the response we get from all of you, I guess we've got a lot of
relevance left.
So just as a thought, I wanted to really take a moment and say a sincere thank
you and let you know we appreciate each and every one of you, even the ones
I argue with, even the ones that break my chops, we have to go back and forth
a little bit because that's what makes radio and life interesting.

And now, superhuman shack.
I keep telling them not to say that.
I'm no superhuman.
Believe it or not, I struggle with moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA.

breathing is interrupted during sleep with loud snoring, choking, gasping
for air, and even daytime fatigue.
Let's just say it can sound a lot like this.

Mom's Alzheimer's was already so hard.
But then we found out she had something called
the
old agitation that may happen with dementia due to Alzheimer's disease.
And that was a different kind of difficult.
So we asked her doctor for more help.
