This intermittent problem is driving me nuts! I have taken this car to multiple mechanics. Each time, the problem seems fixed but then returns. Here are the repair facts... over the last 3 years (approximately 20,000 miles) I have replaced the following hoping to resolve this issue:

1. Solenoid
2. Fuel Filters (twice)
3. Fuel Pump
4. Spark Plugs and Wires
5. Alternator

The problem seems to be worse in the Winter & worse in cold, damp weather. Clears in Summer. The most common scenario is I will be traveling on the highway at speeds of 40 - 60 MPH on a straight, steep grade. Things go fine for a few seconds, then suddenly the car will shudder, the RPMs will drop, the car will start sputtering, shaking, lose power, lose speed, and sometimes die. Often times this is accompanied by a foul, odd odor from the exhaust system. If I pull over, and the engine dies (or I turn it off) I wait a few minutes and then can usually start the car and go again.

This returns each Winter. Help!

I have a 2005 ford F-150 with the 5.4 V8 in it, and last week I was on my way to work and it backfired... LOUDLY... I bought the truck brand spankin new in October last year, it has around 17000 on it now. When i bought it, i installed dynomax dual exhaust, and a stock replacement k&n filter. not the whole kit. I know sometimes with aftermarket exhaust when you let off the accelerator it will rumble a little, but this let out 3 really loud bangs. one, then i accelerated, and another, and so on. why in a brand new fuel injected vehicle did this happen?? and dont say because its a ford i've heard that enough, i want answers here not bs.

Is the automatic gearbox on the 1.4 Pug 206 a proper auto box or one of those robotised manuals like the Citroen Sensodrive, Alfa Selespeed and Vauxhall Easytronic? I always find those automated manuals so lumpy to drive, either gently around town or on a spritied drive through the countryside. They always change gear at the wrong time and do so with all the smoothness of a brick yoghurt.

I can't remember how much this additional service contract costs, but at the time when I purchased my used 330i 2003 BMW, it seemed way too much! Has anyone really done the math or has first hand experience to see if this upfront cost is really worth it. I felt that the total repair costs from an independent good BMW mechanic would be much less than the service contract, especially for oil changes (every 10,000 miles), brakes and rotors. I can take care of the fluids and wiper blades -so no big deal there. The gamble of course is major engine or transmission problem between the years 4 - 6 ,or 50,000 -10,000 miles. What do all think?

looking to purchase a good city car that is versatile in the snow and in the city. The WRX is a little out of my price range, given it seems that it is only a matter of horsepower. Is the RS suitable for trips to Tahoe! Thanks!

I have a 2004 Mazda 3 i sedan and when my car shifts from 1st to 2nd gear it shifts hard. It only does this on the shift from 1st to 2nd though. When I accelerate slowly from a stopped position it doesn't seem to shift as hard. And just so that you know, I'm am not accelerating at full speed from a stopped postion to make it shift hard.I had it checked out and they can't find anything wrong. This is my first Mazda car and I was just wondering if maybe this was just something normal.
