A man was killed by a Dodge Dakota. He was outside of the vehicle, and it started to roll away. He chased the truck, got hit by it, fell into a coma and died. His employer owned the truck, and recieved 12 recall notices to fix the problem that caused the truck to roll away. He never had the truck repaired.

In your opinion, who was primarily at fault?

I just bought a 2004 Mazda3, used with 43000kms on it. I had only had it about 2 weeks, and today when my boyfriend and I took our dog to the park the back right break disc was sizzling hot!! We only had drivin about 1km when we smelt something really hot, and i looked back and I saw steam coming from teh back tire. Not sure why this could be. I aksed my boyfriend if he was riding the breaks while we were going through the park, and he said he might of been(he has driven 5 speed for 6 years and this was his first time driving an automatic so he isn;t used to it), but even if he was...how come the back breaks were soo hot and not the front....any help from some car experts out there would be greatly appreciated!!

bought my teen son a 1995 Pontiac Grand prix 3.1L L82 Code M. Cheap...$3250 as is. Found it leaked coolant after we got it home...looks like it's coming from a drain cap or something underneath the car and not a hose or radiator itself. "Cap" is about as big around as a votive size candle, paritally recessed, 1/3 of the way back from the front end of the car near the driver's side front tire. Any idea's clues etc and what it might cost to fix it? Thanks

What should I say to his parents?

A man that is living in an adult care-home has commited suicide because he was denied his right to freedom.

It finally got to him when he decided that he wanted to be a biker, like the "Hell's angels" and other such groups.
He loves heavy metal music and is constantly told to turn it off after 9pm and to wear head-phones.

He wanted a "Harley Davison" and to be able to be in a mojor biker group.

He has been told that he cannot leave the biulding and he has to have his back-side wiped for him.
He is on medication
He also gets physically abused by the staff and they took the p*ss out of him wanting this.

He commited suicide, and was found dead this morning at 4:30am after escaping the biudling frozen to death.
He left a message saying why he decided to die and why he wanted to freeze to death.
It is currently -17*C here in Canada.

A panal of psychiatrists considered this to be an obsession and was planning to use drug therapy for it

I own a 2003 Mazda Protege 5.

I am not sure if it is normal or not, but when I put the key in and turn it to the ACC position, after the 6 seconds when all the warning lights stay on, the Check Engine and the Oil Pressure lights stay on until i start the engine.

Once I start the engine however, they turn off.

I would like to know if this is normal, or if they should not be on EVER (except the 6-second period when all warning lights are on).

I have a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT. I have had problems in the past with when I start it sometimes I have to start it twice-like the first try it wants to start but then I start it again and it does start. So two weeks ago it didn't start at all. Then the battery ran down and nothing. Anyway I finally got it home and had it put on ramps. Under the engine no gas was coming out at first then a day later it was coming out(something under the hood-some hose maybe). It wants to start but it strains and won't. After having it on ramps the first time it did start up and was able to take it around the block. Now it won't start at all. Help me guys I know nothing about cars-what could it be? I don't want to take it to the dealership where I bought it and pay $400.00+ for something that might can be done at home with maybe a few parts from Auto Zone or O'Reiley store.
