Cars & Transportation - 11 May 2007

I drive a 1994 Honda Passport and when I put my foot on the gas, the car doesn't move! When I take my foot off the gas pedal, I have to wait until the car is down to 20mph for the car to shift back into gear in order for me to be able to press the gas again. If I continue to press on the gas, the "Check Transmission" light will come on. Is it def my tranny or could it be something else? I've taken it to 2 mechanics and they both said there's nothing wrong with the car, but I know it is - I drive it every day and can feel it. What could it be?

MY CAR IS SPUTTERING UNDER MODERATE LOAD. THIS HAPPENS BETWEEN 1900-2200 RPMS. THIS MAKES DRIVING AT 55-60 VERY ANNOYING. I USUALLY DROP IT FROM OD TO D TO ELIMINATE JERKINESS. UNDER HEAVY LOAD,IT DOESN'T ALWAYS SPUTTER, BUT SEEMS TO LACK OOMPH IN GENERAL. MY PLUGS AND PLUG WIRES APPEAR TO BE FINE. I'M THINKING IT MAY BE FUEL RELATED. IT CHUGS DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65-70 QUITE NICELY. I THINK I SHOULD BE GETTING BETTER THAN 20-21 MPG, THOUGH. HELP?

I purchased a large Jazzy 1170xl power wheel chair on ebay, but the seller is not able to arrange shipping. I need some idea or ideas about who could go to a residence and pick up this item and ship it. Item would not be palletized or boxed at the pick up site since it is a used chair. Need some suggestions.

I have a 99 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. It has the factory radio and cd player. Last night it was really humid outside, and my radio/clock display got so dim I couldnt even see the time or the radio stations. Today, it is still horribly dim, so dim it looks like the car isnt even on.

Anyone know why this would happen? Its very annoying.

Thanks.

Sometimes when I start my Jetta it sets off the panic switch for no apparent reason. This is very annoying and embarassing. Is there a solution to this problem? I've been told it's a common issue with the Jetta. I like the car, but the panic mode is driving me crazy!

My car started making clunking noise in the front right tire area whenever I would drive over bumps or cracks on the roads. Now, it is still making those noises, and after driving my car for about 20 to 30 minutes, and accelerating the car from very low speeds, there is a weird kinda grinding noise coming from the front right tire under kinda hard acceleration for about 3 seconds and then it disappears. What can this be? Is it dangerous? I hope it is not the wheel bearing is bad. However, if it was a bad wheel bearing, wouldnt the noise always be present and not just present only after a kinda hard acceleration from low speeds for only 2 to 3 seconds only and then the noise disappears?? Oh yes, while accelerating, when the noise comes, if I would let go fo the gas pedal, the noise goes away, until I step on the pedal again kinda hard then it comes again... Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, I just purchased a preowned toyota avalon. The tires in the front are kind of worn out in the sense tht the treads on the outside are completely gone whereas the rear tires seem fine as far as the treads are concerned. The car also scids on wet roads and rain. I was thinking of replacing the front tires with new ones. However, i am now in double minds whether to get new tires for only the front ones or even chnage the rear ones. does any one have any advice on this? what is usually reccommended?

My gf is 24 and a horrible driver. She doesnt pay attention and has bad judgement on distances. Well she is with USAA and has been with them for a while on her moms policy and she had a couple of minor wrecks that were her fault. She is now on her own policy and had a wreck that was her fault about 4 months ago and her car was fixed, now she just had another wreck that was her fault last week that totaled her car. The car is worth about 5,000 and with full coverage insurance and 1,000 deductibles she pays 175.00 a month for insurance. On top of the recent wreck she got a speeding ticket about 2 months ago that needs to be taken care of before July.

Do you think she is going to have her insurance canceled? I mean my mouth drops at 175 a month for insurance on a vehicle valued at 5,000 and 1,000 deductibles. I told her if she does get canceled she will only be able to afford liability with high risk insurance.
