29 days agoI did.
I had a 2012 mazda 5, everything completely mechanically sound. Immobilizer failure killed the ECU and 3 different electronics specialist, and 2 dealers couldn’t get it working.
I bought a 1963 Ranchero (170ci inline six). You’d be amazed how cheap and widely available pretty much ALL the parts for old Fords are too.
It also cost me less than half of a new Corolla.
Doesn’t Verizon still use cdma networks too? Iirc they have different tranciever hardware than the standard GSM phones.Nevermind looked it up and they switched to GSM a few years ago.
