After just 500 miles my new 2007 Toyota Camry started shaking at highway speeds. I brought it into the dealer a couple times, no improvement. I went to a local tire dealer, who tried four different sets of tires, and two alingnments on the car, and then finally gave up. I went back to the dealer, who test drove it today, and said that the shaking was "normal operating condition" and that Toyota would do nothing for me.
Dealer said he had seen this a number of times, and Toyota would do nothing for me. This is my brand new, most expensive car I've ever owned. I can't drive the car the way it is. Any ideas on what I can do from here.

My friend asked me to go for a ride with him sometime and I'm a little freaked out but it does sound like fun. He has a really fast bike and was wondering if there is anything I should or shouldn't do?

Is there a quick fix to trade it in w/o telling the dealer? I heard that you can crack an egg and put it in the radiator and this will help hide the problem. I dumped about 4 teaspoons of black pepper in the radiator in order to get it home. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Here's how it goes. I drive my car - say to the store, or to work. I turn it off and go inside, come back out anywhere from a half hour to two hours later and the car won't start. No turn over AT ALL. It's NOT the battery. Everything turns on - fans, lights etc. It's just that Last click of the key - it has no response in the car.

Mechanics are all baffeled by this (I've spent over a thousand dollars on it now). None of them can git it too happen so they can't properly diagnose it.

It's NOT the starter - I had it replaced.
It's NOT the egnition. Had that replaced too. I also recently got a tune up.

Here's what I think now - it's some kind of overheating problem. Usually when it won't start I open the hood and fan it for anywhere from ten minutes to an hour and then it will start.
There is nothing else wrong with this car - I love it. Here's another thing - it NEVER happens between October and April. It only happens in the summer months.

Good Luck!

Problem: Gas Mileage

The problem I have is that when I take the mower to the gas station and ride back I can only mow for a few mintes because I only have enough gas to ride back to the station for more gas. I called John Deere and they don't sell a larger tank, I make sure the tires are filled up and the oil is changed to get the best mileage. I thought about putting in my truck but it's too big...it's 25 HP! Sometimes when I've over mowed I only make part way to the station before it runs out...so I have it down that I can mow for 7 minutes before I have to get more gas...it takes numerous trip just to cut my grass.

any suggestions

To work is about 400 miles a week on the interstate at about 70 MPH. What size bike do I need for this kind of mileage?Some of the bigger bikes don't get much better gas mileage than my midsize car.

I am going to hook up a car stereo inside a weatherproof box on my deck and I need to find a power supply to run it. I want to find something that I can plug into the wall that will supply enough 12volt power to run the stereo.

How many amps does it need to produce to avoid tripping the unit? Most of the ones I've seen at Radio Shack, etc., only produce about 10 amps. Is this enough? I am going to hook up 2 of the Bose indoor/outdoor speakers to it, and that's all.

Any suggestions for a small, reasonable, power supply that will do the trick?

I was coming home from the local bar at about 2:30 am the other night and I tried to do my usual bit of tripping some of the neighbors car alarms with my eagle pipes. This time however I wasn't as successful as usual and could only trigger a couple of alarms. So instead I made a few full throttle passes up and down the block as I, and every other true Harley guy, know how much people totally appreciate the sound of a Harley. But what pipes can I get that will deliver more of that crowd pleasing rumble and that will set off more car alarms? I started to feel a little inadequate when I couldn't set any car alarms off.

ok whenever my car is in D, R, 1st or 2nd there is a tingy clingy sound coming from under the hood... it doesnt make this sound while in park or neutral. The sound seems to be coming from down low kind of near where the underdrive pully is located. could this be the timing chain and sprockets. i'm told if it is, its cheap to replace and it really causes no harm but its freakin annoying so i want it fixed
