I was thinking about trading in my car for a Jeep Wrangler, I have always wanted one, but I still owe 4,000 on my car loan. How would a trade in like that work? Would I just keep paying my bank, then get another loan and start paying it? Or would my loan transfer to the Jeep?

Every time I sit at a stop light, the temperature in my engine starts rising. Additionally, if I sit there long enough (as often happens in rush-hour, downtown traffic), my air starts blowing hot. Then, when I speed up again, the engine cools down, the temperature gauge lowers and the air gets cool again. It runs cold when the car is moving. I have had the entire A/C replaced and the hose which connects my coolant tank to my radiator has fallen off, and put back on a few times. So, why does my car keep getting hot? Why does the air keep getting hot along with it? Is there a correlation between the two?

Hi I took my car to the Toyota dealership for service for my Camry. It is a new dealership because I moved.

The symptoms of the car was that it was wiggly on highway speeds and veering a bit to the left. Basically, the steering wheel felt odd, like I could control it. It felt kind of like a video game where the wheel turns a lot more than it should and on its own, plus my car almost went into different lanes.

The mechanic corrected the alignment and rotated the tires. He said the alignment was off.

But when I got my car back, I could just feel that the steering was odd, even though they had me drive another Camry.

Well yesterday I was on the highway and my car was wiggling again. I slowed down to 40mph in the slow lane because I got so scared.

What could be causing this? They told me it must be the highway pavement. The highway does look a bit battered, but I have driven across country and NEVER had this problem.

Thank you for any help.

I drive a red 02 cavalier and about 60 percent of the clear coat has peeled off the trunk. What can I do to fix this. I'm looking for alternatives instead of getting it done and spending all that money.

Two years ago a car that was behind us bumped into us. He did absolutely no damage at all. We never filed a claim or made any reapairs because there was no damage. We were thinking about selling our van at a dealer & they did a carfax. It came back saying the airbag was deployed & the van suffered some damage. How do we get this cleared up?

I am looking for a new car. I just paid of my 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipes but I have this thing about impluse shopping. I saw the Mitsi, test drove it and signed papers the same day. I love that car but now that I am older, I am looking more for a usable car. I was looking at SUV's and as we now, gas prices are outragous and the hybrid is out of my budget. Anyone have pros and/or cons regarding the Rabbit?

The experts say it's because the refineries are switching fron producing heating oil to making more gas, and that we are using more gasoline than they can produce. That the gas prices won't level off untill after Labor Day.

I do not understand gas prices? I do not understand how people can stand by and keep paying these prices? The American people who live average lives cannot afford to work, pay child care and expect to pay upwards of $50 dollars or more a week in gas! I have started working from home which allows me to not have to drive, so we only fill up one vehicle each week while the other sits. Thats ok with me, but how are people making it who cannot do this?

It had an old battery/I charged it and it started and rode fine. A couple of rides later the battery died. I put in a new battery and spark plugs. I rode it a couple of times and now acts like the battery is died again. I waited about two hours and it started again. Now it is acting like it has a dead battery again. I don't know what to do next with out spending a great deal of money to get it looked at.
