I have a 96 sport explorer. The right front tire locked up after the avs light came on. I also heard a grinding sound.The rest of the wheel's work fine. What could be the problem?

Saturn 2000 SL 4DR, 1.9 Liter.
After leaving from CDN Tire after getting an e-test I noticed that the Air Bag, the Service Engine Soon Light, and the Service Engine lights were all on. I think that this is to coincidental and that they must be related. The only answer I got from Canadian Tire was to bring it in and spend 80 bucks to hook it up to their computer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Took my car to the dealer for warranty repair (brand new 2007 model) and when I went to pick it up there was a scratch on the side and the hood was dented. I had to bring it to their attention. They have offered to repair. I'm upset that they tried to return it to me in that condition. Anybody out there have similiar experiences? If so what was the outcome? Did you feel the same about the car?

I have a vehicle for which the title is held by the bank. It recently became inoperable, and we are working on getting it repaired. In the meantime, am I required to pay for insurance on the vehicle?

I recently was rear-ended and I'm not sure how fast they were going, probably not over 25mph and I was at a red light. About 30 minutes after the accident, I started having lower back pain so I took myself to the ER. The doctor said I had a lower back strain due to the accident and prescribed me vicodin and flexoril for the pain. About a week later, I went to another doctor for a follow-up visit and he took x-rays to make sure my spine was ok and it seemed ok, but the lower back strain was still causing a lot of pain so he prescribed a refill of the meds and took me off heavy duty work and told me to do desk work only, the problem is, my work doesn't have desk work at all so I have been home. I don't know how much to settle for other than the medical bills and my wages. How much should I ask for pain and suffering? I have been in pain and I can't do much more than sit and stand and even those I can't do for long without my back going into spasms. I'd appreciate some advice. Thanks!

So yesterday I was driving (1993 Toyota Corolla) and my rear right tire gets blown out (pic below) somehow, I'm still unsure of the cause

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q110/g_unot69247/HPIM0303.jpg

I had to call AAA so they could put on my spare. Today I went to Sears and got just that one tire replaced. It's the same brand and size but I noticed that the tread was different from the old ones. Is it going to make a huge difference?

Oil leaked into my spark plugs. I am now getting new spark plugs but am having a bit of a hard time finding sites for schematics and "how to"

I do have someone who basically knows how to do it, but we need more information. If you have any suggestions or sites, please let me know.

Thanks ahead of time :)

My jeep has a select trac where I can decide to put it in 2WD or 4WD. I would like to know how many MPG of gas I could save by keeping it in 2WD instead of having it in 4WD all the time.

I have a 2003 Ford Tauras V-6 with 94,000 miles. The other day it was fine then this morning I went to move it and it will start right up and just die right out unless I give it throttle. And even then it won't run smooth and its pinging. As soon as I let off the pedal, it idles down to nothing and dies. I was thinking it could be the Idle Air Control valve, just a hunch but what do you think.
Thanks all...

I have a message that still reads a oil change is required and it has been done and I don't have a manual to figure out how to get rid of the message. Help b/c it is annoying me.

Also the driver seat all of a sudden does not want to move and I need to find out what kind of issue it may be with the wiring if ne one might know that too.

My driving instructor is selling her 2005 Clio. It has power steering, anti lock breaks and air con.
I wondered if it wouldnt be so good because of the hammering it takes from all the learners (including myself!!!!), but then i guess she does have to keep it in tip-top condition for business.
It would be nice to buy it as its what ive been learning in.
Not sure about the mileage.

What would be a good price, and good mileage??

Thanks :0)
