Cars & Transportation - 9 March 2007

I just got bought a used car from a little old lady. Its a 96, 88,000 miles. I'm not really a car guy and this is the first car I'll be solely responsible for. I'm wondering what I can do to keep the car in good shape. So far I've gotten an oil change, new oil filter, and a new air filter. Think maintenance not performance; anything like spoilers, performance exhaust parts, or anything of that nature will be kindly ignored.

It seems that since I have had the autostart installed in my 1997 jeep grand cherokee the battery becomes weak or dead if I do not drive the vehicle for a couple weeks. I installed a new battery with the same results. It seems to be more prominent in cold weather.

I have just found a nail in my car tyre, it could have been there for months for all I know.

Do I need to get a new tyre or could I get it repaired?

When i stop the car slowly for the red light, the engine suddenly stop running and the car dies. i can always restart it, but it could take a couple of tries.This happened three times in the past two months, and the occurrence is completely unpredictable. Otherwise, the car runs fine. There is no warning sign for the engine problem. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks!

Just wondering if it is smoother and better. I know this is the first bike in its class to have it. I think it is a great idea, super smooth and better response. I am sure, the other 3 Japaness companys will follow. I want to get this in th Kawasaki, and I know Suzuki and Honda will follow.

The problem does not happen every time I drive the van, never know when it will act up. If I let it sit for awhile, it starts up again.
This has happened at the service center but they are still unable to find anything with diagnostics.

I had a nasty squeal coming from my brakes whenever I slowly braked. So I took my car to the shop about 3 weeks ago and the mechanic said the rotors needed to be cut because I had cheap pads on (bought my car used). So he cut the rotor and put new pads on.

Couple days later I started hearing a squealing again. Not as bad as before but its was back again. Any idea why? Well, its been 3-4 weeks since I had the job done and I hear squealing. Seems worse when I just start driving and improves with a little time. Maybe its cause they are new and need to adjust? (I dont really drive my car too much, could be why its been 3 weeks) thx for any help.

I usually get my oil changed at a Mobil 1, but I'm out of town until the end of the month and my car's computer says it's time for an oil change. I'm not familiar with this city but I've seen a Wal Mart and a Jiffy Lube near my hotel. I know Wal Mart is kind of ghetto but is it a decent place to get an oil change?

My a/c quit blowing cold the end of last summer and I had some of that blacklight dye stuff put in the compressor to see if it was leaking and it was. Do I just need a new compressor or are there other parts I need to get?

My husband is at work and I'm trying to price parts and buy them so he has no excuse to postpone this any longer than he already has :)

I'm not worried about the price of oil. I have a good job and can afford the oil.
