In Hour 2 of Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor, Ron talks Hyundai engine problems and oil consumption with a caller from Canada dealing with a possible scored-cylinder issue on a 2020 Hyundai Veloster, and explains why calling Hyundai corporate may be the next step. He also helps a listener weigh the hard decision of repairing or replacing a 2011 Chevy Cruze that has been sitting for years with what may be a transmission failure.

Later, Ron takes on the John Deere Right to Repair story and why it matters far beyond tractors—covering repair access, scan tools, software control, dealership bottlenecks, and whether you really own something if you can’t fix it. Plus, advice for an ’84 Chevy C10 with a 454 and Holley carb, and a closing commentary on why critical thinking still matters in diagnostics and repair.

Car advice, done right.
