I have a 2006 Mitsubishi Galant and when i accelerate the BRAKE light comes on indicating that the E-brake is engaged when it is not. Also, I'm looking to get rims on my car. Any suggestions for where to get cheap but nice rims? And how do i measure what size rims will fit on my tires?

I was just getting out of school today and I had missed my bus. I called my mom and asked her to come get me. When she picked me up we started home and I was telling her about my day. She hit the breaks to stop and she reended another car while I was talking. I told her to tell the police that I was the one driving and to tell the insurance company that it was me that was driving not her. Now I feel guilty and that it was all my fault. Why am I feeling this way
Now I feel like I dont deserve to ride in a car. I dont deserve my permit, and I dont deserve to get a red 4x4 red four door truck.

I just had my brakes done this past March and now when i brake they are making noise. I thought for sure they would have lasted much longer than this. Thanks for any help.

I was on a Virginia interstate driving home, the same interstate for 4 years now. I got pulled over for APPARENTLY driving in an "HOV" lane (high occupancy vehicle lane, you must have two or more people in the car to travel in the HOV lane). OK, get this.....I WASN"T driving in the HOV lane! The HOV lane is the most left lane on the interstate and clearly marked with double lines. I was driving in the right lane (slow normal lane). The cop told me that ALL lanes on the interstate are HOV lanes, yes ALL 4 LANES! But this major interstate (Interstate 66) has at least 4 lanes and the left one is the only one that has the sign on it and is marked with double white broken lines. I have been driving like this for years, hundreds and hundreds of cars are on this interstate with only one person (driver) in the car. What is going on here? I have never in my life heard of this....ALL lanes on interstate are HOV lanes! How does one go home? Did this cop give me an illegal ticket? What do I do?

It cranks nicely and smells of gas. Tried checking connections.
My husband was wondering where the fuel filter is.
He is replacing the plugs which have less than 5000 miles on them, if I drive it more than 2000 miles a year it is a lot.
any suggestions

What would you suggest for a good used car for a 17 year old boy? Looking to spend approx. $8000. Important factors dependability, safety, and fuel economy, and of course he wants something that looks good, too.

Hi, I noticed that one of my rims has a bit of a dent in it.

Someone told me i could buy a new rim at an auto wrecker.
I don't know what to ask for. Do I tell the guy the model of the car, or would I just need the tire size?

2002 Ford Focus San Diego, California. There's a clicking and internet research says CV joint. Auto repair fraud is rampant in this city, I've never had a good auto repair experience. Does anyone know how much I should be charged for this repair so I am at least not financially shafted yet again? And how long it should take, so I can try and budget for the lost wages? Is the internet research true that it would be faster and cheaper to just have a new axle put in? Thanks!

Before you say it, I know I should bring it in for diagnosis first, but in this city that's playing roulette. You spend a big diagnosis fee and lost wages for nothing more than a guess at best or a sales pitch at worst, usually accompanied by scare tactics and stalling. No one I know has found a satisfactory place yet. I used to just visit different shops to confirm/check diagnoses and ended up with a different diagnosis from every shop. Here you have no choice but to throw money at parts and hope for the best.

What are the most common causes of a lean air/fuel mixture in a fuel injected vehicle? 94 Celica with erratic idle and stall issues.

(Replaced fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs, wires, distributer, rotor, cap, coil, fuel pressure reg, ECM, and more.)

P.S. please don't say go to a professional... tried that and I am $1,500 more broke than I started and no further with the issue.....

Thanks for any advice.
