DRIVE CLEAN is BS!!! UNbelievable!!!!

[powerz51]

Took in my perfect running 15,000 km 2006 and it failed!...since it was in storage I took it for a run on the highway and then to the facility...and it failed...seems that when the battery is disconnected, the computer needs to be drive clean BS ready....run your AC.. rear defrost...stop and go traffic ..what a bunch of crap...now I am driving my car around with no sticker since today was the day to get it done...they told me to come back after I do these stupid things....anyone else experience this horse crap

No Drive Clean here in Grey/Bruce counties thank god. Too remote I guess. Sorry to hear of your frustrations though.

...after driving all over getting it to reset...the evap still not passed but is better than the first test as 2 things failed...so it was finally a pass...got my sticker....just had to waste gas and cause more emissions and carbon into the air to pass my car...isn't DRIVE CRAP a great thing for the environment?

 

[powerz51]

..but enjoyed getting behind the wheel of this awesome beast...that was the only good thing about it all today

Maybe all of Ontario should get an Grey/Bruce mailing address and register their vehicles there. Sure would cut down on the Drive Clean revenue.

you really have a hard time trying to figure out how the ministry "brain surgeons " came up with the boundaries.

Yeah, seems if a county touches a 400 series highway then it gets the Drive Clean program. I'm OK with that. Not sure why we don't get the Northern Ontario half price license fee then. Another government boondoggle.

Everyone should just keep on filling their MPs in box with protests. Drive them crazy if need be. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

That is too funny that they require you to drive all over the place to pass the emissions test.

Drive Clean sure sounds like a head ache! I hope it never comes here!

 

[abeltrame]

Imagine being a used vehicle dealer. We have to do this every day!

 

[powerz51]

even newer cars , if the battery drained or had a repair...and the evap wont reset in cold weather....
