Make a report to the governing agency over used car dealers. In most states it would be the Secretary of State. They have records of the cars he has returned to the road, and sold.

Shoulda told him "I was just really wishing you could be a Man instead of a spineless waste"

You are a good man with a better heart and soul! Keep it going Pal.

Autel vs OEM adas setup? What is more preferrable and why?

I understand the point of this air bag not working so bypass with wiring...I have jeep installed a 4 point harness bar and upgrade seats belt to harness. I installed a resistance plug as I'm not using stock seatbelt anymore, but to just bypass this w/o airbag yup this is crazy

Wow how he changed his story once you exposed him. Good job.

I love the rants

I'd consult multiple attorneys as to the best course of action when you encounter these situations.

You’re the best! Don’t worry about what the bums say, you’re doing a great service for your community. I helped a buddy out at his 2 bay body shop and we’d get lightly wrecked cars and even those that had airbags and seatbelt tensioners that had gone off. We took them out and sent them to a company that repairs them so they will actually function again. Not once did we ever think of not fixing the airbags and tensioners. So don’t you worry what you’ve done will get around and it’s appreciated.

Attaboy, Keith... Big time kudos to you for doing the right thing and then calling this guy out. I see that a couple of your viewers have beat me to it and posted your video to their review page. I hope karma comes for these guys big time. There will ALWAYS be scumbags like these guys trying to save money and take short cuts. But, because you were brave enough to post this video, people will have breadcrumbs and links here if they do some research BEFORE purchasing a vehicle there. And, who knows... Maybe this guy will change his ways because you called him out... We can hope. In the meantime, you have done what you can to educate us. Thank you so much for having done that. I'm proud to be a subscriber to your channel.

Had that happen to my best friend on his dodge ram luck he was just hurt but there is to many back yard shops doing this kinda work and nobody is making it a crime

Police most certainly can do something, file a report with the state, FBI, BMW, you name it. This is gonna kill someone

I've no problem with it for keys but it's the "anything security related" part I'm against.

If this was my home area....as a licensed automotive technician I could literally take this car off the road with the assistance of the governing body in that area. This is insane and that car shouldn't be on the road. That dude is a joke.

is ms 906 pro a us tool🤷 im so frikin afraid of buying another autel got burnt for 1500 bucks on amazon 2 yrs ago on one that autel us would not unlock? and got burnt on a launch on amazon that auto auth gladly took my 50 bucks then told me it wouldnt work with my tool because 🤷🤷 it wasent launch usa!! wtf!!! i rember having a conversation with autel us saying only authorized dealers on their web site?? which wal mart is on their web site🤷🤷 and then they told me walmart wasent an authorized dealer🤷🤷 after telling me authorized dealers were on their website🤷🤷 and walmart is listed🤷🤷 i dont trust these people as far as i can spit!!

The owner just said he couldn't get the new seatbelts for it. The guy is a sorry ass car sales man that doesn't care about peoples lives he's selling the car to

Why go through the trouble of cutting a harness and wiring in a Resistor, if the part was coming in?!

Poor ‘Ol Coy’s been cuttin’ corners for 40 years and this whipper snapper comes out and calls him out on it. Not cool man!

‘Dem lectrics don’t do nuthin but cause headache anyway. Best to just bypass all that lectric garbage and get that motor and wheels back on the road.

MAF requires laminar flow for accurate reporting.

used car sales people are the worst.

There are vehicles out there with sub standard welding repairs in certain Western countries. Sometimes customers sell cars back to themselves that have been repaired by unfamiliar techs etc. Quality control is an issue.

Do i need to work at a dealer to get the code?

ive had that on a few i installed a longer bolt w/nut to be able to tighten securely

It's shady crap like this is why I got out of this industry. Being told by the shop owner to drop the passenger airbag and bypass the relay. That was my first time walking out of a job.

LOL! This is just the tip of the iceberg. If the airbags are deployed the car should be parted out

A conditional acceptance is a wonderful thing

Federal Crime

This car will end up going to the auction, and someone will buy it. That is the name of the game, it happens dozens of times every day.

This is criminal what the person who did it is! Selling something like this is insane and no regard for anyones life! Can this not be reported to a ministry of transportation/safety? Its not a sensor its a resistor! Orders them but couldn’t find them! Wow so many lies! Its like dealing with s child! Putting in but he still modified the wiring harness. All I can say is WOW.

The mass air flow sensors on these newer gm vehicles are shaped weird. They have a tunnel that the air has to flow through, and because of this, the box and air filter must be correct. Cheap aftermarket filters can affect this. Cheap aftermarket replacement air boxes and air lids can affect this. The factory air filters have a pre-filter glued on them, and if that is missing or damaged, it will skew the reading. And of course this means the air filter lid has to be secured properly.

Wow that is so important to know thank you for sharing this information.

Great and very important video. These scum bag dealers needs to be shut down. I don't know about you guys but all I hear is lies!!!!🤬😠😠

Yeah, you did right…. Context clues….. dude cut the harness the resistance CHANGES when spicing wires…. CASE CLOSED…. No justification necessary, I honestly woulda have questioned it, reported it, and still billed him diag… Could push it outside your gate off property, and it spontaneously combusts…😂 I mean documented BOTCHED wiring

Man I feel like you could get sued pretty hard unless you have irrefutable evidence his shop did it.

Call the better Business bureau

The worst splicing and soldering job EVER! Old man river needs to give it up. You busted him. Great job mate! Cheers from the UK! 🇬🇧

I have been in the business for over 40 years,I have seen many scum bags buy totaled cars and "fix" them for resale. There is nothing wrong with repairing a damaged vehicle,many vehicles are totaled for reasons beyond the primary damage, and parts availability is a huge factor today. But I have seen far to many vehicles that should never have been put back on the road,repaired by people who should not be repairing anything. I have seen fake airbags,resistors in place of replacement components,spot welds on structural components, seam sealer used to fill 1/2 inch gaps,holes drilled to allow water to drain,spray foam to fix rust etc. The bottom line is if you can not perform a thorough inspection yourself,pay the couple hundred dollars to a reputable shop and have it done,and a carfax report is only as good as the paper trail thay preceded the car. When all the insurance auctions opened to the public for bidding is when we started to see the industry start to fall. There were always shady people in the business, but now it has grown dramatically, and it's shops like this ( the seller) that give a bad name to the industry. We repair many vehicles for resale, and all of them go through an enhanced inspection before resale,we have never had a car come back after the sale,not one.

people that know nothing about electronics think everything is a sensor lmao

Can you tell us where is your shop ? Just to avoid you ! You sound like a pain in the ass !! I imagine how you screw your customers... Poor people.

Someone did this to my Mk4 Golf its missing like 4 airbags and and 3 seat sensors 🤦‍♂️

This is super crooked and evil -- agree. BUT I don't know if a lack of seatbelt pre-tensioners are going to KILL someone. Lack of airbags would be MUCH MORE severe.

Write notes with relevant info and tape them to the wiring harness in these locations in case anyone ever looks.

you keep doing what you are doing !!! you are a good young man.

Think should contact dmv they should have information on who to call. They probably send inspectors if he registered business.

Wow, what a scumbag! If the insurance companies that do do business with these clowns get wind of this kind of hack stuff (regardless of who owns this car and paying for the repair) they will pull their business so fast his head will spin.

Airflow dynamics are a real thing and the way the air enters the MAF sensor can have a major effect on its readings! Good find guys

If anything else comes to light, please update us.

I appreciate you exposing these people. I have updated the vehicle information on VinWiki and noted that if you, or someone you know purchased this vehicle, to have it checked out immediately. I myself have dealt with a similar situation. Its never fun, its also nerve wracking to deal with. Hopefully, somebody checks vinwiki and sees the updated vehicle information. I encourage you guys to utilize vinwiki if you run into these situations in the future. Thank you for sharing this, and exposing these folks.

in europe it came with immigration -the hack with 2 ohm resistor in the immegrant shops
