Cars & Transportation - 20 December 2007

I took my 2007 328xi coupe in for a service engine soon light and it took 3 days to get it back and I had to make no less than 15 phone calls just to get a status on it. I thought they lost my car and I was pissed...they gave me a Grand Prix as a loaner....SUCKED

Yes, I got behind unfortunately due to loss of previous job. Tried working with the bank, but you know the saying 'you can't get blood out of a turnip.'

Right now, I am playing hide-n-seek with the repo company because I do need my transportation to get to work and make sure my kids to and from school (to far for them to walk...).

I am hoping to stall this process enough to get a little money under my belt to bring my loan current but need to know how long can I go before what?....

will a sheriff show up at my door? Will they stalk me all day long? What can I expect?

Please dont be mean...I'm not a bad irresponsible person. I just need some further information so I can plan...

I have a stripped bolt that is supposed to screw into a part on my van but the bolt is stripped. Any suggestions to get this bolt to screw in? By the way, I can't buy a new bolt. It is one piece to a much larger part.

The wreck happened tonight and I went and took pictures of the accident . Can I sell these to the insurance companies or any one. I did not see anyone else from the police taking pictures. The driver of the vehicle was unisured and had a crack pipe in his truck, but he hit a house and the owner was not home. I am sure he has homeowners and he was getting to the scene as i was leaving.

If you are not at fault in an accident, what will your insurance company do in order to get your car fixed? How much help will they give you, or are we supposed to settle everything, make the calls etc. with the other carriers insurance. I was hit from behind while I was stopped at a yield sign. The other drivers fault ( a no-brainer). Yet I am getting different information from my agent, the other drivers agent, and even the auto-repair shop !!! Any feedback will help greatly.

I need to rent a car with a trailer hitch to haul a cargo trailer across country. I've looked at several car rental sites but none of them mention that they provide trailer hitches on any of their vehicles. Can anyone recommend a few nationwide rental companies that have this option? (Moving from Florida to Ohio, so the company should have branches in both locations).

Thanks for any help! :)

I was making a right turn into my driveway, which happeneds to be more than a 90 degree turn up hill. So the only way to make the turn is to go about two feet into the other lane with my left tires and make to approach. I noticed there was a driver aways behind me as I put me blinker on, and turned up into my driveway, and was hit on the side passanger door. TBONED by the guy, who was trying to make a pass on the right>? WHO IS AT FAULT, He is arguing saying I am. But I was hit about 7 feet in my driveway, all four tires of mine were in the driveway when I was hit.

I just noticed today when I was beside a building with my window rolled down, letting out my clutch or pushing it in, lets out a squeaking sound. What can this possibly mean? I can not hear this when I am inside the car and the only reason I heard it earlier was because the window was rolled down, with the sound hitting the building.

I think I have heard it slightly before but not this loud. I will also not that it was raining outside if that has anything to do with it. I have 100k warrenty on the car, should I take it in to get checked?
