troubleshooting rough start

Thanks for that. I was having trouble finding a video of it for a 2011. He actually gave me a pretty detailed explanation, though some went over my head. He mentioned there is a sensor that posts the warnings, that isn't getting the correct readings on the coolant because the water pump isn't doing what it's supposed to. I don't know why it isn't reporting that it's overheating, but that seems to fit how was acting.

 

You have no idea. It was worse than taxis from the beginning. Uber's only get inspected once a year, and it's not a mechanical inspection. It's mostly cosmetic. The background check, also yearly, misses all sorts of things. You either get a driver that doesn't know where they are going, that just picked you up on the way to get groceries for themselves, or you get a driver that drives their car like a taxi, without the benefit of a staff of mechanics on hand and a salvage yard in back. And lets not even talk about the insurance. If your driver has the bare minimum required by Uber, you might not be covered.

I drove a taxi for 8 years. These Uber drivers have no idea what's required to keep a transportation vehicle on the road, or the real cost of what they are doing. I'd hesitate to get into the car of someone willing to drive me for 10-20 cents a mile too, if they knew that's what the compensation was. And I wouldn't be doing it if it hadn't destroyed the business I was operating rather successfully, leaving me in a position I had to do something to make ends meet (this car).
