I have a 1994 Chrysler LHS that seems to have an intermittant problem with the ignition switch. Occasionally when I start the car the guages and warning lights along with the transmission gear position indicator lights will not work. Also when this event is occuring the transmission will not shift out of first gear. The only thing that seems to fix this is shutting the car down and restarting it sometimes a couple of times. The last time the car did this I cycled the key cylinder all the way through from off to accessory back to off then on then to start. The gauges,lights,position indicator and transmission worked fine after that. I believe there was at one time a recall for the ignition switch on this particular model of the LHS and I'm pretty sure it was not done on this car. Do any of the Chrysler maintenance technicians out there have any previous experience with this type of problem?

Right now, we have a nissan quest, it's running great, but only one car, we are looking for a luxury car from a KNOWN BRAND. We are looking into a new LEXUS ES 330, A BMW, or a MERCEDES. Our price range is around $35,000. We also want decent gas mileage, at least 20 city and at 25-30 highway

I have joined a car share that travels into London. I have to leave my car at the pickup point (a public road). My car has been keyed twice in a week (every panel down one side). I think I know who is doing it, but without proof the police arent interested. How do I prove it??? Any ideas are welcome.

They are the worlds slowest vehicles and always seem to be on the road during the "going to work" and "coming home from work" periods... No offense to the people who do these jobs but its so irritating.
Why cant they just wait for everyone to get into and leave work?.. RAAAAAAH!

These days on top of the estate and saloon cars, we have SUV's, MPV's and strangest of all 'people carriers'. I ask the question because, for example, an SUV stands for 'sports utility vehicle', usually refferring to a 4X4. Now does that mean the activity the car is used for is the sport, as in off roading, or that the car is used to carry equipment for a sport, such as a surfboard? As according to most people on here 4X4's should only be used by farmers, where does the sport come in? Then MPV's, or 'multi purpose vehicles'. These I think are the Espace or Galaxy type car. Apart from being acar what other purpose are they used for? I suppose with the seats out they become a van, not really multi purpose though. Then daftest of all, a 'people carrier', again used for the larger cars. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the purpose of ANY car to carry people? All cars are people carriers. There, I feel better now, these are my opinions and are therefore correct.

Traveling on a 2 lane road (only 1 lane in each direction), a church bus stops to let children off after Sunday Morning Svc. The bus has flashing lights, but no "stop sign arm" that comes out like on school busses. There is debate in my home as to whether it is appropriate to yield/stop for this instance because the law only addresses school busses.
(This is a full sized bus)...Help settle this please!
