Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suggestion
I went to a PPI on a car where the owner had the car sent over to the shop I wanted to use on a flatbed.
Leading evidence: 'Use on a flatbed' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Well, thank god for AAA plus membership.
While out on a long drive, just before returning homewards, we decided to check out this sweet little National Park off Rt 33.
Upon turning around, I reared into a small dirt bank and *plonk*. ****! Exited the car, coolant spraying out the back!
Shut it down, eventually found some signal and got a AAA tow back into LA within 20 minutes.
It's at the mechanic now to get it fixed. Those two little rubber hoses at the back bottom of the engine are fully exposed and could be considered design flaws..? The clip that fixes the hose to the engine broke.
Well, here's to more careful 3 point turns.
I went to a PPI on a car where the owner had the car sent over to the shop I wanted to use on a flatbed.
Rolling the car off the flatbed, the clamp caught something (pavement...something on the flatbed) and popped the hose loose.
I did not see it happen, the car was already off the truck when I got there....I just saw the trail of coolant from where the flat bed was to where the car was parked and the coolant pissing out of the hose. Seems like a little more clearance could have helped.
Those hoses take a beating from muffler heat and general engine heat as well. We're talking about 15+ year old cars here. Rubber hoses don't last forever.
