Yes. Every DSM owner knows they instantly become thier own mechanic once they purchase the vehicle. DSM's are horrible when it comes to reliability. Especially once you start modifying them.

Everyone that I know who owns a DSM has run into problem after problem with them, and I know a LOT of people who own DSM's.

Only a few people I know have stuck with DSM's after all of thier issues. The Brothers, Jerry, and Miguel.
