I have a 96 Geo Tracker and recently I have noticed that when I am accelerating the speedometer needle bounces a lot until I get up to at least 30 mph. My first thought is that the connection cable might be coming loose. Anyone have a better idea than me?

I have a 1995 Ford Explorer with a stuck hood. When I tried to close the hood a few days ago, instead of shutting all the way, it kinda bounced and didn't close (I'm thinking the latch was not all the way open or it just closed partially). So I tried a second time and it closed but not all the way. Now it's open by about an inch or two and totally stuck. I have an appointment with a Ford dealer to get it fixed in a week or so; is there anyone who's a mechanic or has had this experience that can give me an idea of how many bucks you have to fork out to fix this? I've tried on my own to fix it and can't. Do they have to rip the hood off?

I have a 98 Amigo 2.2L and when i bought it the battery was toast, i replaced it. When i checked the voltage with the new batter and the car was running, it read like 16.5..I thought it was the regulator but ignred it. Now the car wont start and the battery is reading 11.7 vlots idle. Is this ok and should i just change the alternator or did i fry the battery from having a fauly regulator that kept the vehicle at 16.5 volts most of the time?

I understand the price they offered is the actual cash value. Is it true that the ACV is always lower then the retail value??

I was involved in a car accident and it’s determined that it’s 100% the other party’s fault. My car was a total loss. . My insurance (Allstate) did the valuation and offered me a below market price for my car.

The car I lost is a 1997 Toyota Camry LE 4 cylinder, 4D, Green, 73,800 miles on the odometer, clean title, regular maintenance, fairly new tire, CD player, excellent condition.

They used two same-model cars for comparison when doing the car valuation. One is with 188000 miles and the other is with 114000 miles. And they averaged the two values and came up with $6597. But the one I lost is at 73,800 miles.

With $6597, I can only get only get a Camry with about 130000 miles, almost doubled the miles I had, according to Yahoo Auto search result. They argued that 130000 miles is comparable with 73,800 miles........

I'm needing to replace the heater core on my Cadillac and since the car is driven only on the weekends I probably won't get around to it anytime soon. If I drive with the heater off will any engine damage occur? How about a temporary fix with a sealant?

My husband got a used car from a lot. The salesperson guaranteed all his cars to pass inspection. My husband didn't notice at the time that where they had him sign on the paperwork was a waiver releasing the lot from having resposibility for the car to pass inspection. Then when the blinkers stopped working and the check engine light came on THE NEXT DAY we asked to speak to the salesman who made the guarantee, and they said there was no one there by that name, and that we signed the waiver. What should we do?

I installed an HD branded coffee holder the other day on my bike. I decided to go to Starbucks afterward so I could test my new drink holder out. I ordered my usual tall Caffe Vanilla Frappuccino Light Blended Coffee with whipped cream before hopping on my Harley for my weekly 4 mile ride. I was sipping my coffee when I started my Hog up. I hit the gas and the coffee spilled all over my face and then the visor snapped shut. The coffee couldn't get out and burned my face. My face got really red and it felt like radiation. I ended up in the ER.

The good news is I am okay. I am wearing protective gauze for the next 10 days.

Has this ever happened to any other HD riders out there? Is Harley Davidson responsible for this? Are there any HD riders that are lawyers who can advise me who else can I go after? Like the coffee holder or helmet maker? Perhaps the company that distributes the cups?
