My car was registered in 2018 and has just over 10,000 kilometers. It's been in the repair shop for half a month now. They said it's the electronic rocker arm that's broken. First, they tried replacing the spark plugs, but that didn't work. The ignition coil didn't work, and neither did the injectors. Then they said it's the electronic rocker arm. Wow, it costs 12,000. Sigh, they suggested I replace the engine, which is around 15,000. I don't even know what to do. This car isn't worth 50,000 now, and fixing it costs over 10,000.

At the end of November, I replaced the control arm, steering rod, and axle assembly. Now the steering feels very light. When going over bumps, the steering wheel moves erratically. If I accelerate a bit aggressively, the steering veers off. Can someone help me out? [crying]
The heated rearview mirror isn't working, but the electric adjustment is fine. I've been to several repair shops, and they all say I need to replace the base, which costs over 2000 for an original one. Any experts here who can give some advice? Thanks!
Is it normal for the turbo of a 2008 Touran 1.8T to cost over six thousand to replace?
4I bought a second-hand Kia Sportage that's 10 years old. When going over bumps or speed bumps, the front chassis makes a creaking noise. I asked a repair shop, and they said it's likely the stabilizer bar bushings have aged. Replacing the two front stabilizer bar bushings would cost over 200, but they also mentioned that changing them might not necessarily solve the problem. Do you think it's necessary to replace them?
5I've been having heavy snow here the past couple of days. The car starts to skid once the speed goes over 20. Neither the snow mode, standard mode, nor sport mode seems to work. How about you guys?

7I've got a T-Roc 1.5T for about a year now, and did the first service at 4,000 km. The dealership said the second service is due either after a year or at 10,000 km. Now it's at 11,000 km, and I'm feeling that the low-speed acceleration isn't smooth. Should I just go and change the oil outside? The dealership mentioned that 10,000 km is too long.
8The seat ventilation makes noise but doesn't blow air. The dealership said it might be the sponge slipping, and repairing it would require removing the seat and replacing the sponge, costing over 1000. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? How did you handle it?
9My car is just over 3 years old and has only 36,000 kilometers on it. The electric tailgate is acting up right after the warranty expired for a month. So frustrating! I asked about it, and they said it would cost over 2,000 to replace. Plus, at the 4S shop, they just told me it's out of warranty...
10Hey guys, the AC isn't cooling and is blowing hot air. When I turn on the AC, the compressor doesn't work, even though it's new. The repair shop said the fuse box has a bad connection and replacing it would cost over a thousand. What should I do?
