Will their insurance cover the cost to fix the damages to my car and retint the windows that were broken as a result of the damage? Also, if I have to sue them for certain expenses, can I also sue them for my attorney's fees to collect the expenses? I am in Alabama. And can I get them to pay me devaluation (A.K.A. what the car would have been worth if I sold it without the accident in the cars history report?) Any help is greatly appreciated.

It drives fine otherwise; actually, it's really zippy and fun! So I wouldn't mind (too much) putting a few hundred dollars into it, if that is about what replacing the CV joint will run.

Also how many MPG do party boats get? The ones that could carry 50 fisherman. I know that the wind and travel speed play a factor, so let's say normal wind and traveling speed.

When your car gets repo'd.. and you still owe about $18,000.. do you still have to pay the monthly payments? And I know your credit takes a hit but are you able to ever get another car?

I pay $650 a month for my car.. and can't afford it anymore. Too much negative equity.

I had a car towed in... the advisor told me the camshaft was welded to the journals.. I asked how it could still start up if it was welded, and the advisor said, "The car is running on only 3 cylinders instead of 6. The damage is in the left side where the camshaft locked up." He then told me they sent an oil sample because they don't think the oil was changed properly, and are waiting to hear back from Chrysler on whether or not to void the warranty. He said it's not their decision but Chrysler's decision.

Basically he said the engine is bad, and I'll need a new one. He says its taking so long because he hasn't heard back from Chrysler but he "overnighted" the sample today. Keep in mind my car has been in this shop for almost 2 weeks

Does this make sense? Or should I get a second opinion?

Say you have a separate bulb for high and low beams in your car, and each bulb is a h1 6000k bulb. How is it that when the high beams are turned on, they produce more light than the low beams?

I have Honda Civic 98 EX. ever since i got the timing belt, and water pump changed, my "check engine" light turned on. and the computer says's it's Idle Air Control Value,
So i put in the new IAC and after about 40 miles the light came back on.
I showed the car to a mechanic. and he said same thing. so he put the used IAC in. and it worked fine for about 150 miles. and reset the computer and the light turned back on after 80 miles.. i don't understand what's causing it?
anyone know how to fix the problem, I'll appreciate it. b/c my inspection is expired, and I'm trying to get it fixed quick.

Troubleshooting P0505
Probable Causes
1. Vacuum leak on engine (checked that)
2. Dirty throttle body (not sure, how to?)
3. IAC motor defective (changed twice,didn't work)
4. Poor electrical connection to the IAC value (mechanic checked it, it's not that)

so what else could be worng?

I have a 1994 Honda Accord. It is about 85 degrees out, pretty darn hot. When I turned my car off (I had been driving for about 25 minutes) I heard a fan-like noise. It turned off after about 3-4 minutes. Is this a normal function, or should I get it checked out?

Thanks for any input.

I own a 1995 BMW 318is, and i haven't had any service in awhile. Recently, I took it to a shop to get something fixed, and I asked them to change my oil since it's been awhile. They called back and said my car needed a "Major Service," that the oil filters were flithy, the brake fluids needed changing, new spark plugs, antifreeze, the works... They quoted me $600 to do it all. Is this a fair price? If not, how much does this usually cost?

My car was put into the shop two weeks ago.. first day they told me it needed new spark wires and would order parts and it would be ready the next day.. the next day they tell me I might need a new engine and that they needed to contact the dealership about something.. I called yesterday and he said they were waiting on the dealership for something and then they would let me know.. it's two weeks now. I still haven't got a clear answer on what is wrong with the car.

Is there anyway I can say nevermind and get it towed somewhere else? Or what do I do?

The electric power in my car is really bad....i don't know if its the alternator or battery, i don't want to remove the alternator to test it or buy a new battery if it's not the problem. When i run anything electrical ( even my turn signal i see a drop in my battery meter, every time the turning light flicks on my meter drops and then goes back up again and again) to me it seems like a battery problem because my alternator is still recharging it it seems like it just won't hold much of a charge.

First of all, do the side panels that run along the bottom on each side of the Lincoln Mark VIII come off?? Can they be replaced and if so, where can I get the replacement panels? Also, I just put a new battery in her but sometimes I'll leave her alone and go to start it and the battery is drained....I don't know if there is small, inconspicous and out of the way appliance in these kind of cars that can run the battery down??? I also suspect that it could be a loose connection to the battery or maybe even the starter. I'll turn the key and I get a click click click but it won't turn. Def a power issue because everything in the car has slowed down or will not work at all. When I do get it started sometimes it will run perfectly for weeks and then a power issue will come up again. Thanks for the help if any...~Chris~
