Wal-mart broke my car. My RPM's are too high in my 2005 Seabring.?... I got an oil change at Wal-mart and when I got the car back, the RPM's started getting higher. I took very short drive to see if it would stop but the check engine light then came on. I took it back to Wal-Mart and they said take it to a mechanic because they won't fix it. I don't have money, shouldn't Wal-mart be taking care of this? I need advise. Thanks!
When I first got in the car and started it, I notice the RPMS were about 1,700. It idols high and picks up speed on the roadway. I went to check under the hood after a short drive and everything is very hot! I've had the worst week of my life. It just keeps getting worst for me... :(
Oh, and it is an auto-matic!!!
Answers
1) i hope you're driving it in the right gear. check that and yes Wal-Mart should cover this. - kopetsa
2) never take your car to a department store you idiot - TotalyF'nAwesome.com/WeRule
3) Estimates are usually free. Go to a mechanic and get it looked at, get their opinion on whether an oil change at Walmart could have done the damage and what it would cost to fix.
I cannot believe something as simple as an oil change could be screwed up so badly that it would jack up your engine, even at Walmart. Get an estimate and find out what is going on before you jump to conclusions. - julieisbest
4) Wal-mart will deny and deny they did anything wrong. You will have to take to a mechanic and they will have to prove that wal-mart is the one that did something, then you will have to take them to court. If it doesn't cost that much to fix small claims would do, they will send their top management to represent them. - Denise
5) Your question doesn't make very much sense. Is the car a automatic or stick? If it is an automatic you must mean that the car shifts at higher RPMs. I would go to local auto parts store and have them read the code. I would then ask a dealer or service shop what would cause that code to come up. If the cause is in no way related to getting an oil change it is going to be hard to prove that Walmart did anything to your car. Good Luck - explude
6) nothing related to oil change could cause this problem,take it to parts store let the run a diagnostic check for the problem follow their recommendations. - ramcharger
7) I'm sorry for your troubles. Here is my suggestion. 1.) Take a look under the hood, they probably went to check your air filter and knocked a hose or connection to a sensor loose or off. When you (and maybe a friend, it helps to have another set of eyes looking for something out of place) find it, reconnect it and see if it changes how the engine runs. 2.) If everything is connected, take it to a shop, explain the situation. they might look at it for free or at a discounted rate. Talk to the store manager at Wal-mart. They probably will be more helpful to you. Good luck. - C-Tech
