My wife drove the car to work with no problem today, she goes to start it back up and leave and it has no power steering. I checked the fluid and it was empty so I filled it up and it just leaks right out on the passenger side. It looks like it is leaking from above and coating the suspension parts on the passenger side and then dripping to the ground. does not appear to be coming from the suspension. Any ideas?

My stepdaughter has been driving a car that is in my name eversince her mom and I got separated. We never had communication. But last week, my car insurance informed me that the car that my stepdaughter used rear-ended the other car and they rejected the claim. They informed me that the car owner might file a claim directly against me. IS it really possible? The car is in my name but i wasnt driving it eversince. Will I still be liable for the accident? what about my stepdaughter?

my tires were shaking everytime i drove on the highway over 60mph. and everytime i made long turns left or right. like when i'm entering or exiting the highway. My right front tire got a flat but the mechanic said he is not putting that tire back on my car so i bought a new one and i notice that it did not shake anymore on the right side. So i'm thinking i should change all the tires. but now the left side is shaking period not matter if i turn or not and if i go faster than 50 mph. the whole car is shaking and its sounds and rides like the tire is flat. But i checked all the tires and put air in it. and it is still shaking. i know for sure i need new tires because I can barely stop without sliding but what is the shaking, do i need the tires rotated or something?

The car has twice had this problem in 2-weeks. Both times I had lightly driven the car earlier in the day and parked it on a slight incline. It sounds like it is going to start and then sputters out. The first time this happened, it started the next day the second time it wouldn't start for 4 days. I got it towed to a mechanic they couldn't find anything wrong with it. It started right up for them.I have been driving it around and it starts fine. I just know I will get stuck somewhere and I don't want that to happen.

I own a Mercedez CLK coupe. The car is 6 month old with good tires. I don't want to get a winter beater or snow tires. How do I maximize the performance of the car in snow and avoid getting into trouble. I am a careful driver, not rash by any definition. I am particularly careful in snow.

I recently had difficult going up my driveway that was covered with about 2 inch of snow.

And how hard is it to change the back plugs? Is there a "trick" to it or just a lot of cussing and griping?

Ok...so let me first off say that iam scared out of my mind. This is my first accident and OF course it has to happen the day before i change my insurance over. I was involved in a minor fender bender of which i took full responsibility for. The damage to her car was very minor. Mostly paint from my license plate frame and some minor paint job work and she was not hurt at all. I know i was wrong for driving without insurance...i know i made a huge mistake i'm just so scared that they are going to sue me. She is being really sweet about it so far but i'm calling her and her husband in a few minutes to talk about and could use some advice before i make the call. My insurance kicks in today but of course it wont cover it since the accident was yesterday and i can pay for it out of the pocket i'm just soooo soo scared that they are going to press charges or call the police on me. I'm not a bad guy just unlucky to get my sandal caught between the brake pedal and gas on a rain slicked road

Ok, I'm 18 and getting a car soon.

What is the insurance based on? (besides age)
Do they ask you how much you paid for the car? and how much mileage was on it when you brought it?

Cuz my mom says the insurance will cost just about the same as you brought the car for??!?

My son went to get his 98 Ford Escort SE inspected today. The mechanic told him that it won't pass emissions because of three hoses being partially clogged. Is this a job that we can do ourselves?? (The mechanic didn't even do the regular inspection.....said it was useless till he gets this taken care of first.)

Im seriously interested in purchasing a used 2006 Maxima SL and after doing some research on reliability and safety for the 04-06 (only ones w/ 5sp auto) I found a recall regarding the rear subframe that could fail on the 06. It stated that dealers inspected potential cars and replaced parts "as needed". I dont want to waste my time calling nissan. Please help! The dealer that has the car will not hold the car for me. Has anyone had to deal w/ this recall?

My daily commute is getting worse every day. The new timetable is a joke, they can't run it on time and when the trains do turn up they are too small and hence overcrowded.
Added to this, one of the ticket machines at my home station has been faulty for 6 weeks -- I've told Farce Grate Worsten about it FOUR times now, and each time all that happens is that I get the same grovelly apologetic email telling me how they aim to fix faults within 24 hours. It's got to the stage where I've written to the Chief Exec of FGW about it, and my MP. It's a joke.
'Great Western'? Brunel must be spinning in his grave. This company couldn't run a Hornby train set, never mind a passenger service. They should be stripped of the franchise NOW!
Anyone else agree? Got any horror stories to share?
