and every time it happens, i pop the hood, look in the engine compartment, and there it is...

is the sensor going bad, or does the computer not know that the engine is still there?

Im very frustrated and need your help w/ 2 problems.About mid July I noticed the 1st problem with the power seats.The heat in both all of a sudden go on.Its happened several times and the dealer said they found no problems cause the heated seat light never comes on but it gets red hot so much that bare skin feels like its burning.To please me they replaced the switch for the 2nd time but they won't do anything else now because they say they can't find anything.I told them to disconnect the swtich until they find the problem.The second problem is with the navigation system.When Im driving the screen goes black and if the radio is on everything electronic shuts off for a few seconds.They had the car for a week and found nothing but 2 days after I got it back theproblem was back.The dealer said they updated the computer or something but I still have the problem.They said they can do nothing. Who can I contact? The manager at the dealer is a jerk.BMW cust svc is a joke.What else???

i have a 2002 chevy malibu and lately its been heating up. The coolant light turned on the other day so i stoped and filled the coolant resevior up. But the next day after i filled it up it overheated. I don't know why, i was driving normally like i always do. I parked it and pushed it to a parking spot and left it there. its been a couple days now and I'm trying to put coolant in the resevior so i could take it to a shop but everytime i fill it up, a couple minutes later the coolants gone. I checked under the car to see if its leaking but its not and I checked the oil to see if its a broked gasket but the oil is fine. I don't know where its going. The autoshop only 5 miles away so thats all I need to take it to, where is the coolant going and what do i do in order for me to drive my car?

Who do you use? What do you pay? Do you think it is fair? Do you have full coverage? And what State are you in? Accidents or traffic voilations?

I live in Delaware and I have full coverage with Geico. I am paying $250 a month and it is killing me! I have had no accidents, and I am 26 years old. I have however gotten quite a few traffic voilations, mostly for speeding. I have a need for speed. I have really been trying to do better.

Thanks!

If someone is younger than 18 and they have gotten pulled over by the cops 4 times without a DL. Is there still a possible chance that they can still get their DL after they become 18? Or are they going to have to wait until they turn 21?

I was in a car accident that was not my fault. I was hit from behind on the highway and the person who hit me admitted fault 100%. I have submitted a claim through this persons insurance company.

My car was less than 3 months old. I've come to terms with diminished value and that it will never be the way it was pre-accident, I'll never be able to sell it a fair value as it was in an accident, etc. and I'll just have tp deal with it. (As much as it angers and saddens me!!!)

The insurance adjuster came out today and gave me an estimate which I'm pretty sure is unfair. I'm still need to take it to a few body shops to get theirs estimates of what it will cost to fix it, but I want to be proactive.....

What happens when the three body shops I plan on going to estimate that its going to cost more than what the insurance adjuster wrote me the check for? What are the next steps to appealling this? Is this usually what happens? Write for an unfair amount?
