Cars & Transportation - 11 November 2007

I bought a 2000 kia sephia a couple of months ago. And I haven't been able to drive it due to me not having insurance on it, and in the state that I live in you have to have insurance before you can get plates and tags on your car. And a couple of weeks ago I turned the car on and was listening to a cd. Well I keep the cd playing and turned the car off. And then I tried to start it a couple of days ago and it wouldn't start. A friend of mine jumped it for me and turned on, but when I turned it off like thirty mintues later it wouldn't start up again. And now it's like if I get it jumped it will start but right after I turned the car off, it doesn't start back up. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Please help. Thanks!

I purchased a car a couple days ago from a private seller. I financed the car through Chase Bank. After all the papers were signed they told me that they would mail me my plates in 2-4 weeks, and when I asked for a temporary plate they said they don't do that. Is this normal?

The girl I bought the car from wants me to mail back her plates, but I don't think I can have the car parked on the street without plates.

I live in Illinois and by law I have 20 days to submit the info to register the car, however it is illegal for me to drive it until I do so. Thoughts?

I have a couple hairline cracks toward the top of my Shakespear VHF antenna. The antenna is around 8' or so, and the cracks run lenghwise, about 4 inches, toward the top. Will this affect VHF reception? Can I seal the crack with 5200 or something?

It acts like it has a fuel problem but no mechanic has been able to diagnose it. It only happens after about 15 to 20 miles. Before that it mostly runs fine, although it will stall easily when cold.

All fuel filters have been replaced. Virtually every sensor on the engine has been replaced. New plugs, plug wires & ignition module. I have used injector cleaner additives in the gas.

Someone suggested it could be a bad coil. I'm wondering if it's a bad computer or fuel pump.

What do you think is most likely?

So today I noticed that my ABS warning light came on while driving. I pulled over, turned the car off and back on, and the light reset. By the time I got to the store, it was back on. When I left the store, it was off and didn't come back on all the way home. I know that ABS stands for anti-brake system, but what could be causing the light to come on and why wouldn't it stay on constantly?

Purchased car used from major dealership. They did not disclose it was wrecked. Was purchased As is. But they still lied.

1. Ask for $1600 to fix bumper. They decline.
2. File BBB complaint, give them two options, pay for bumper or take back car.
3. They decline, BBB sides in my favor, threatens dealer with bad mark.
4. Dealer manager calls, tells me "fine we will refund car, bring it back. This is now 2.5 months later.
5. Since dealer thinks I just wanted money, they play poker. I say fine, I'll bring car right over. Manager says to wait until Monday.
6. I purchase new car over weekend, thinking the will refund car.
7. I show up on Monday, they said I put too many miles on car (3K miles) offer $10,200 I paid $12,600!
8. I remind them this was a REFUND, not a purchase!
They say no, as me to leave!

What should I do now? This is a major dealership, totally playing games!

hi, we recently just bought a 1990 Winnebago Chieftain from a dealer down in Illinois....(We live in Wisconsin). We were driving it home when we noticed that the headlights were flashing. We looked everything over but we couldn't do much do to it being dark. We kept driving and it just kept flashing. They did this all the way home. The thing is that the parking brakes and the brake lights and the blinkers all work. I was wondering if anyone knew what was wrong with this camper!?!?!

I've heard if you buy a used car in CA but live in AZ I will not have to pay sales tax in either state? But if I buy new in CA and live in AZ I will have to pay sales tax in AZ. Is What I've heard true or false?

My truck wont start.

I turn my key, I hear a distinct "click", but nothing happens.

My battery is fine, i think.

My stereo works fine, I can crank it and listen to tunes for a while.

Some people are telling me it's my starter. others are saying its a connection to my starter.

If I sit there and keep turning the key back and forth for like 20 mins, sometimes it will start,. or try to start. It'll start to turn over, but it wont catch.

sometimes, while its "trying" to start, it just stops turning over and dies, almost like it's running out of power.

This all started about 2 months ago. The not starting. but initially, I would just try like 4 or 5 times and then it would start. now it wont start.

I dont know much about trucks, or any vehicle for that matter. Can anyone give me some information about what might be wrong, and possibly a way for me to go out there and confirm what is wrong.

Thank you
