Cars & Transportation - 31 August 2007

I have a 2002 Ford Escape and for about three days last week it would not start properly. In the morning it took about five tries to start it. It also took many tries in the afternoon after work. It doesn't make a clicking sound, it just sounds like it wants to start but it won't. My battery is fine and I've been told it's not the starter or spark plugs. If I try to start it after driving it a couple of hours before it will be fine. I put fuel injector cleaner in it last week and it was fine that whole time. Yesterday it started messing up again.

I just bought a used car a week ago. When I test drove it everything seemed fine. Two days ago it started jumping/knocking as it went into second gear. I checked the tranny fluid and it was almost bone dry. I filled it up to the appropriate marking and it stopped the hard shifting. Well, it seems that everyday after I get off of work it starts doing it again. Never in the morning. I was going to school last night and it started doing it again so I checked the tranny fluid and it wasn't low. I added in just a hair more (not overfilling it) and when I got out of class 3 hours later it was fine. It is really weird that it will do it than be okay for a while than start up again. I am under a LIMITED 30- Day Warranty and so my question is...if the tranny was going out before they sold me the car and didn't tell me, what are my rights to taking it back or making them pay for damages. I think that goes against the Lemon Law right? I need to know my steps. Plse don't give me a link to a lemon

My car was rained in 7 days ago. The next morning, I used a shop vac to soak up the standing water. I left my windows down and moonroof open with my car in the garage to allow it to air dry. My car smells as if there is something rotten inside. And last night, I noticed some mold growing on the back carpet which I cleaned out.

I have used an entire bottle of Febreze. I've sprinkled "Carpet Fresh" on my floorboard. I left this overnight then vacuumed it out. The odor is still very strong.

Please help!!
