This has been the case since the car was brand new. It now has 22,000 miles on it. I actually have 4 identical cars (company fleet) and all have the same problem. They all have Bridgestone Dueler H/T tires. The VUEs are not all wheel drive. Thank you for any advice!

I looked around and I can't seem to find a fuse box inside the car. Under the hood there is a big fuse box just above the steering column. There are labels on the top of this box but they are very misleading. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

'05 Mustang GT, a '06 Pontiac GTO, or a '06 Mazda RX8? The Mustang just dosn't seem worth around 18,000$ for only 300hp. And the Pontiac is just hideous yet a mustang killer at 400hp and cheaper price tag. The Mazda is cheaper over all and supercharging would put it at all little bit past the price a Mustang. The Mazda at that point would be faster then a Mustang but slower and GTO. It'd also look best out of the three after applying a Vander bodykit and paint job. At first I wanted the mustang but It seemed like EVERYONE had one.

Its a restored 66 Chevy El Camino with a 383 it was an automatic but was converted to standard. I let him drive it yesterday and the problem started when he got down the street and tried to put it into 2nd gear. It will start and rev and all that but it won't move at all and just stalls when I try to catch first gear. And I thought it was kind of weird how he left it on a hill in neutral without the Ebrake on and it still wouldn't budge. Its a 4 speed (H) with reverse on the upper left and the shifer (hurst shifter) will not move to the left to go into reverse anymore. There were fluids on the ground, in a 'V' pattern. My dad said not to let any boys drive it and I have to fix it before he finds out!

I have a Ford Escort LX 97. I left the dome light turned on for 8 hrs and when I tried to start my car back it worked but I needed a couple of tries (so the battery was low I presume).
I drove for 2hrs and the day after I couldn't start my car.
Jumpstarting worked fine. I got my battery tested and it said battery perfect. Two days after I couldn't jump start the car again.
I towed the car to a mechanic and he said my motor is locked up and basically I have to change car. He said he cant know the cause because he doesn't know the history of the car but he suspects no oil in the engine,
I never noticed any leaks and I changed oil recently.
Is it possible to lock up an engine without noticing it? How could I have driven till home with a locked engine?
Better tow the car somewhere else before throwing it away?

Thanks a lot for the help.

I got in my car this morning and didn't give it much time to warm up before I left. The temp outside was 18. By the time I got on the highway the light was blinking so I went home and turned my car off and then turned it on again and there was no light. Could it just be being weird or is something wrong? The temperature gauge took a long time to start moving to the middle too.

In Nova Scotia, Canada, we're paying 112.2 cents per litre. That would be $5.10 per Imperial gallon, or $4.25 per American gallon.

I just got a new engine for my prelude (so it's not the engine), but there was a squeal when the car was started so we thought it was the power steering belt (probably because of the cold weather) we replaced the belt---it got worse, so we replaced the pump but it's still bad. The noise comes when i start the car, when i brake, and when i put the car in neutral. I have to bring my car to 3 or 4 RPMs for it to go away, and it makes a loud rattling noise when i do. what is making the noise?

I am having problems with my car heating and defrosting the windows. The engine temp gage is at the 1/4 mark and is normal like it always has been. I replaced the thermostat but this had no affect on the problem. Still very little heat coming from the blower. Any ideas what my problems are? It seems I get a little coolent flow but not the full amount. Is there some valve in the system that is not working? The system uses dex-cool so I do not think the heater core is plugged. Any help or ideas would be great thanks.

I just bought a brand new chrysler 300 touring 07 on Nov. 27th. It doesn't start when the weather is cold. So the car is in the shop since last Sat. The service guys can't figure out what's going on with it. I am so frustrated. I am making the payment of a brand new chrysler and driving a cheap rental. This is not the problem that frustrates me but the worry of such an unreliable car. And, anybody knows how to get hold of the executives of Chrysler? because when I call the 1-800 number, I get this receptionist who has no ethics and tells me she doesn't have any numbers for me? and i am not qualified for lemon law yet.
