My brand new Pinto would sit in the drive way “diesling” for 20 minutes if I didn’t shut it off in gear. Kept the POS only 9 months (11 trips to the dealership) before trading it off.
That reminds me of my Mom and Dad. They bought one of those 4-6-8 Cadillacs back then, it always “dieseled” on them. Dad called a tow truck one night to take it away, he was so po’d, when they got there, it was still kerchinking! Then, they got in on the recall, and they gave them a diesel motor and some cash. Haha How ironic.
Mom hated it, and traded it in for an Olds. Smart woman.
Honestly, I had zero problems with my Pinto. I was sad to trade it in. It was a hatchback, and when I opened the hatch at home, my Great Dane would jump in and my youngest Daughter would follow. It was hilarious to see that huge dog in back all wrapped around that little girl. LOL
