Wondering if anyone might know what the problem is, just a guess, I don’t want to take it to the local dealership because they over charge, which kind of auto shop should I go to in order to get it fixed?? like an auto shop attached to a gas station?? Or some other shop?? Thanks for the help.

Tonight I was driving around in my Passport and noticed the temp guage was close to the red. Guessing it was the radiator, I headed for a gas station to get some water. As I was doing so, the oil light came on. When I got to the gas station, I checked the radiator and oil levels, and both were normal. Just to be safe, I topped off the radiator and put in a quart of oil. But as soon as I started driving it again, the temp went back up, and the light came back on. The oil light goes away when I am accelerating, but when I am idling it comes back on. Any ideas?

someone told me that the engine has been modded and that there are probably 125,000 hard miles on it, do you think this would be a good buy for $3000? It appears to have damage on the front. I talked him down to $3000

Hello everyone. The problem I am having is the connection to my car battery. The car won't start (nothing - central locks, lights, etc) but when I jiggle around the battery it reconnects and I am good to go. I have this problem periodically so I had a friend help me disconnect the cables, clean the area and then tighten everything back on which helped for a while. But the problem came back.
I tried tightening the bolts but what "helps" is the angle at which the cables coming off the battery are at. I'm not sure what the cabes are cables are called but it is near a box labeled FUSE. Sorry I can't be more specific but I appreciate any advice. Thank you.

I find so many late-model cars to be an awful pain to work on. Too many parts are jammed in some really awkward spots; in my '97 Ford Contour, for example, the factory service manual tells you to remove the cat and oil separator just to replace the PCV valve. This makes it about an hour job--at the very least--if you happen have hands of an 11-year old girl and about two cans of PB Blaster to free the badly seized bolts retaining the cat assembly. (Note: I managed this with a long screwdriver and brute force, something I wouldn't recommend anyone else doing)

So, back to my question. What are the easiest late-model cars that you've ever worked on?
I'm talking '99 and up, compact or mid-size.
Something you yourself would buy and drive.

I dont even know if I need a new one, I was driving it and then it downshifted, keep in mind its auto, then it downshifted again and then when I hit the gas it was like it was in neutral. Then I pushed it out of the road and in to a parking spot and it wouldnt push anymore. Some one said the something is Bound... I am a computer guy so I dont know too much about cars please keep that in mind. Thanks in Advanced.

On a car I mean. And also, why don't cars have drum brakes on the front tires? Usually there is disk brakes on the front two tires and drum brakes on the back or disk on all four but why aren't there drum brakes on the front tires?
