After buying a 1998 dodge caravan from JD once it turned out well, I went back and just recently bought a second vehical last week (chrysler 300m 2001). Its only been a week and the check engine light is on. I called they want me to take it to their mechanic. I plan on staying and seeing exactly what goes on since they refused to pay for me to go to the chrysler dealer for this check engine light. Leaglly will I have a leg to stand on if I discover something was wrong with the car and they didn't address this in the contract since it is so early on. On the other hand, did I just get screwed and this is my responsibility and there is nothing I can do but complain? Am I allowed to watch the mechanic and see what he does under the hood ?

Hi all. I have an 02 Jetta with the double din Monsoon CD/tape deck. I was wondering if I can upgrade it with a set of subwoofers because I would like more base. I would change the stereo all together, but if I do that, the controls on the steering wheel won't operate the after market stereo. I really use them alot so I want to stick with the monsoon system. Any suggestions?

I recently watched part of Hollywoodland (sadly, was sick, and fell asleep and couldn't finish it), and I had a question: What kind of car did Louis Simo drive? Best I can tell, it's a Chevy, but I can't get any farther than that. If anyone can help, that would be appreciated. An approximation of the year would be good, but at this point, I'd settle for the model, and figure it out from there. Thanks in advance...

I just brought my car to a AAA-certified mechanic (who also did my 60K). It is a Toyota Camry 99 with almost $100K miles on it. The recommendations were:

90K service: $495
Replace front and rear struts: $1065
- Right now the steering wheel squeaks on turns and the car leans in one direction
Replace front brake + rotors: $389
- My handbrake light is always on, mechanic said this is the cause
Replace timing belt + water pumps: $849

(As a reference, I live in Silicon Valley so prices are probably steeper than elsewhere)

Roughly, I would be looking for a $3000 repair on a $6000 car. Should I be doing all these repairs, or should I wait for a good deal on some of these ( i.e. timing belt)? Generally speaking, I am not that price sensitive, so if total savings are less than $500 I'd rather get it done now and not have to worry about it.

Also, any recommendations of good car sites would be helpful.

I have a Ford Windstar and recently the engine has started making a loud squealing noise and then stalls even while driving. We have already replaced the belt and the alternator. Could a problem with the water pump be causing this?

I've been having a very difficult time and I'm afraid I may break the panel in my frustration. I need to replace the cluster, its just so hard to get to.There must be an easy way (the right way) to do this.

I can
1. Do defensive driving course (costs about $130 total)
2. Fight the ticket
3. Pay the ticket $120

This is actually my first ticket. So, I'm looking to hear others experience with the above. ie how much would my insurance go up if I paid the ticket and didn't take the course? Anybody have any luck fighting a ticket?? Thanks!

Radio, heater fan, lights and starter turns over, but won't start. The dash warning lights and gauges are inoperable when the starter is turning. I can hear clicking from an electrical box under the battery. Is it a relay, solenoid or something simple? It ran this morning, but 4 hours later, the problem occurred. Battery is like new.
