It sounds like it wants to turn over but then there is a knocking sound and won't turn over. Its never been in these cold temperatures- the car is from Texas/North Carolina.

I have a 94 Ford Escort. When it gets really hot outside, the intermittent wipers will go 1/3 up and stop. Well they ended up doing the same thing when we had a nice little freeze and snow storm up here in the NW. I figured that they would go back to normal when the temp went up, but they didn't. Now when in rains, (yes it rains in WA State lol) I have to move the wiper switch to the regular and then back to off, to get the mist off. Sometimes if I don't time it right they just stop in the middle of the windsheild. It's irritating. Anybody know what the problem is? It's not the motor b/c the rest of the wiper functions work fine. It's just the intermittents that are wierd.
Please only serious answers only.

Thanks again.

I am far below poverty level. Yesterday I had a minor car wreck. Hit a small wooden pole about 5 feet by 1 or 1-1/2 inches..brake failed and ran up curb in (empty) shopping center and down and up another curb. I think brake line broke (by stick that went under car). My brother always helps me with car. He has schizophrenia and my mom said he is not doing well. He came to get me and was real mean saying I did it on purpose (also said this to my mom before coming even though I was injured and having chest pain and shortness of breath and couldn't breathe right. Refused to look under car. called me mentally ill and said "I had something wrong with me." over and over. Kept yelling..finally looked under hood for a minute and said he thought it was brake line he thought and that I may have ruined alignment and hurt transmission because it was coasting and wouldn't stop (I was going very slow) and I put it in park instead of neutral. Said he wasn't fixing it (but I figured he would when in a better mood.

Called today and he said my other brother had a free tow someone owed him. Then they called and said they were "giving me" another car (later found out it will cost me 1200 and they will take from my about $3000 when my ill mom dies and they will not give me her car which I was going to be given as my brother gets the house till he dies and I'll be dead by then as I am 20 years older. I will junk my car they said (even though it may be a minor repair and fixable less than $100). Said the car is a 93 white cadillac seville (I have a 89 mercury grand marguis--beat up but I love as it so rarely breaks and every car in past 30 years but it broke constantly. Said it is great. Finally got aold of brother with car as he said call him at 5 am or he'll assume I don't want it. I said I want to look at it first. He got real offended and said he is an "expert" and I should accept his opinion. He said he must know now if I will take because some other guy want it for 1700 and he will be very tempted to sell it. I was upset no one consults me, was told it is decided (but apparently isn't) and my other brother doesn't want to fix it now (as he didn't want to anyway). I have little money to fix without them (can't afford shop) and no way to drive to see car. (he is moving tomorrow so both brothers tied up for 2 days. Meanwhile my car may be towed as I am not sure when I can get it..it's in shoppping center.

Would you be mad no one consults you, and you are pressured and when you say you want to see and dirve it and are nearly weepy, your brother gets mad. Do you think Ishould take the car..it has a lot of nice features apparently. My brother claims it is worth 4100 (but if so why is he selling it for 1700). He says he "loves that car" and apparently it's killing him to give it to me for 1200 instead of 1700...so stressful. Please advise! What should I do about car if I have no way to gwt there?

The Auto body got an estimate of $10,900 for repairs and the insurance says they cannot total the car if the repairs cost below $12,800. They took an indepent auto valuation and valued my car at $16,280. Kelly blue book puts it around $15,000 for a similar car in Good condition.
The auto body shop has not included 'Frame' repair and he says he cannot include the exact amount without starting the reapirs. And he has estimates the frame repair to cost $300 which i think is bogus. I can't imagine how Frame repair can be so cheap. The insurance first said they'd total my car if the repairs cost more than 11,000 and now they have this other guy take up my case and he says they wont total it unless the repairs cost more than $12,800.
I am really at a loss...I have no idea what to do? Or where to start?
Any advice is greatly apprecited. Please help me....
