Cars & Transportation - 3 October 2007

The insurance told me I have a $500 deductible, plus I have a citation for $117. I am a broke college student and this is my first accident. The damage was minimal to my car, the airbags came off but the body looks fine. Could it still have something wrong in the interior? I have class early tomorrow morning and I need to drive my car. They are charging me 500 dollars, howeer if the airbags is the only problem, is a ripoff for all that insurance I'd paid. I am very upset.

I'm having troubles with ford AOD transmissions. I work at a junkyard. I will pull an AOD that is working fine and put in the warehouse. Sell it, and it comes straight back as not working. I have had this happen many times and know the mechanics who put them in. Some junkyard have even quit selling ford AOD trannys for the same reason. If you have any Ideas why this is please let me know. I have talked to many people who haved work on trannys for more than 15 years and the don't know why either.

I have a 96 Pontiac Grand Am SE, and lately I've been noticing that whenever my car sits a while (overnight) the first couple stops I make there is a noise that sounds like something is in my trunk..but there's nothing in my trunk and this only happens the first couple time that I come to a stop. It's coming from the back right of my car..my brakes seems to work fine but I'm not sure what it could be. Any answers will be very much helpful, thank you

I'm in the market for a new car and i'm looking for something i can get for under $25,000. I'm looking for something sporty but i want backseats. I want a car with good handling and pretty good performance.
Right now i'm looking at the Civic SI, the VW GTI, Lancer GTS and so on. If getting a FWD car i want to make sure it doesn't torque steer too much.
So i'm asking for any ideas of other types of cars i can get and why you suggest those; or if you believe i should get one of the cars i listed then please explain why. Thanks in advance for all the help.

I was driving in a different state last week. The drive to the client's place of business was about 30 miles. Throughout the drive there was various zones where the speed limit was 55, 65 and 70. Some of the 55 zones were construction. Anyway, I was in a rental vehicle and noticed that while in the 55 zone, I was going 70. I thought I was going too slow because every single car passed me very quickly. They had to be going 25 mph over the speed limit. 55, 65, 70...didn't matter most non-truckers were going 80 plus. Why do people not obey the limits? I understand going a few mph over but 25 mph over??? That's not right.

I have 2000 Mitisubishi Mirage DE and I just replaced the brake pads myself. Before I had replaced the pads, my was making a grinding sound whenever I tried to stop. The old pads were really worn and thin so I believe that I fixed the grinding noise. However, when I tried testing the car to make sure that everything was good, I noticed that whenever I try to stop, it takes a longer than it should. I brought the car up in increments of 5,10,15,20,30, and 40 mph and tried to stop as fast as possible. Each time, the stop too long. Can anyone help?

I have a 1991 Chevy K1500 with a 350 in it. The block is from an '81 and the truck has been run hard. I fixed a problem with my fuel pump a few days ago and it has been running like never before. But now, every time I let off the gas, the oil pressure gauge drops to 0 and my "Check gauges" light comes on. It also stays a little low, especially when I get on it. I'm thinking maybe the sending unit, oil pump, clogged filter, or maybe a messed up bearing. Any ideas?

Around October of last year I got rear ended by a car that tried to cut off another driver. I was at a stop light and the car came from behind so I didn't see anything. My car is under my mom's name and I was just getting insurance. Unfortunately both driver's didn't want to take the blame for it and the case went into arbitration. I haven't been able to file a claim because I live in a city far away from where I'm suppose to file and it's actually my mother who doesn't have the time to go.
All I have is the complete information of both drivers and my passenger's whom didn't see anything either oh yeah and my 5000.00 estimate of the damage.
I've finally managed to convince her to miss a day of work for me but is it too late to file a small claim on an almost year old accident with NO police report?

my b/f was in a wreck driving his car, but the insurance is in my name. he was getting off an exit ramp, and he noticed that the car in front of him was driving kinda crazy, and he couldnt get into the other lane because cars were coming. the car in front of him slammed into a truck, then his car drove into rear end of the other car. the police wasnt called to the scene. he and the other 2 ppl talked about what happened, and they guy who was driving the truck, didnt have any damage, but the car in front of my b/f had the rear end messed up, and her front. the hood of our car and the bumper needs to be repaired. we have our car in the body shop and should be out next week. he told the woman, that he would pay for her back end damage, so it seemed like everything was fine. until today, i get a call from my insurance company talking bout a claim. i called back, but the office was closed. what's going to happen? my b/f offered to pay for rear end, but the ppl wont answer the phone anymore.

My son came home for the weekend and pushed the button and rolled the windows down on my old 1980's Chevy truck and says he cannot get them to go back up. Either I fix it myself or I pay a bunch of money to get them to go back up. I am so mad I cannot see straight. How can I get the windows up on my truck?

I own a 1997, Jeep TJ with 135K miles on her. Her front tires wobble, on the Y-axis, whenever I hit a bump or at 30-40mph or there is some warping of the road, or if I am making a turn at that speed for more than a few seconds.

I can break the harmonics of the wobble by turning the wheel back and forth a bit or by breaking.

Any ideas?

My car stalled. It is a standard. When I turn the key, it makes an rrr rrrrr noise, but when I try to push in the clutch, nothing happens.

If I push it to an incline and try to pop the clutch, will this work? Or does that only work if the battery is dead?
