My car was towed due to street cleaning in September. A couple of weeks ago, both of my tires stripped and one of them exploded while I was driving it. Also, my steering wheel had been acting a bit wonky and wasn't centered anymore. We took the car to a mechanic we know and without us telling him anything but what happened, he had asked us if the car had been towed recently. We said yes and he concluded that the damage was due to the tow company attaching the car by the TIE ROD, thus bending it. The bent tie rod is to blame for these problems - the thing is, it's going to be a bit expensive for us to fix. Is there any way we can prove that the tow company is to blame for this and any way we can make THEM pay for it? It's only fair seeing that there wasn't even a sign where I parked.

Thanks!

I bought a brand new (2008) Kia Rio from a dealership just a few hours ago, but I don't want it (long story). It has a warranty and everything. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it; I just don't like it. Can I "return" it to the dealership without losing money? I decided on a financing payment plan.

Thanks!

I need to replace the automatic lock actuator on the door, and I don't have the shop manual. The poor old car is already pretty beat up -- I don't want to destroy the door panel trying to figure out how to get it off. Can someone out there tell me how to do it? Or if I'm supposed to tunnel in some other way, please tell me that; I'm just assuming you take the door panel off. Any hints or tips would be appreciated. It's a nice old machine... As long as I'm pestering, does anyone know where I can get the turn signal lens for the driver side front headlight? Parts are and are not available in the oddest patterns for this vehicle.

The car runs great. No problems whatsoever, but the engine light came on about a week or so ago, and does not shut off. Is this some sort of automatic reminder to have some sort of service performed ? The car has just reached 75,000 miles. Chrysler/Jeep techies, come to my rescue !

This Q is for those that already own one. How expensive are the regular maintenance fees? What about the parts? Are they much more expensive than other cars? Do you recommend my buying? Thanks!

70 MPH means most people go 75-80 with some people going faster.

So why do people merge on so slow?

If you are one of them please stop, I mean GO!

by just plugging it in, or will it have to be reprogrammed? Also, will the ignition keys work? It has 160K with multiple symptoms and no codes come up. Rough idle, poor mileage, engine miss and the speedometer pegs over to !40. All intermitently, so I'm guessing the ECM might be faulty.

The examiner was very impolite. While I was taking a drive test, she wasn't pay very much attention to my driving just kept chewing her tootsie candy and left package inside my car!She hardly told me to go left or right (how am I suppose to know the direction?? And I tried to keep my speed at 25 but she said "it's a 30mph speed limit, go go go!" like she wanted me to drive so fast. And when we were on the way back to dmv office, I didn't realize it was dmv office on the left so I kept going straight and the lady told me in the last minute to go left and the line on the road was so faded away I can't see any line at all. She told me later I wasn't in the proper lane to turn. She failed me and said I changed to left lane without looking over shoulder! That's the only reason she gave in my paper and there's no mark on anything except "intervention by the examiner".I just think it was unfair to me. I reschedule appointment already but I wonder if I can do anything to report her or somethin

Okay, I bought a car from a dealership. They told me that the car runs fine, and I even took it on a test drive for about 5 miles. After I bought the car 2 months later it started cutting off on me. I took it to the dealers recommended shop for repairs, but they told me the car can't be fixed. They even said that the dealer has sent multiple cars to them of the same make, that can't be fixed. What can I do if i have a car under warranty that can't be fixed. It's a Lincoln LS 2004

I’ve had crotch rockets for years, but Harley is starting to creep into my mind.
Maybe I’m tired of keeping the weight off, or because I never really had a pony tail, even when I was a head banger.
I’m thinking of a Dyna Wide Glide or a Softtail custom, and your idea is???? Huh?
