Car Makes - July 2007

1996 Civic CX. While idling, such as in a traffic jam, if I let the engine idle the temp needle starts climbing and will keep climbing, would probably go all the way up if I let it. But if I rev it up and keep it revved for a few seconds, it will go up just a bit more, then start going back down to normal. After a few minutes, it starts the cycle again of getting hot. Any ideas of what is causing this? My first thought is thermostat, but would it really only stick at idle then release once the engine is revved?
It has a new radiator and radiator cap from a previous repair, and the fans come on as they should.

I've been told it may be the switch, but the switches work correctly.

My front passenger brake is stuck and I was told I need to remove the caliper and get the brake pin back in. There is only one bolt behind the caliper and when I loosen it, brake fluid comes out, so that's not it.

I have a 1999 BMW Z3 with an alarm problem. Every time I turn the ignition, the alarm sounds. It will repeat and continue until I disconnect the battery, then carry on a few more cycles before stopping.

I can drive the car, but I would get some people staring at me! Has anyone had similar issues with BMW alarms? Any suggestions welcome.

A few hours after an oil change on my 2003 Protege, my oil light came on. I was on a country road with no shoulder, just a big ditch, and had to drive a couple miles to find a turn off - as I did, car died. Car towed to nearest Mazda dealer - oil drain plug was missing and all oil lost. That dealer tells me they replaced the drain plug, refilled oil and car started. Ran rough, so they adjusted timing belt and now running fine. I do all maintenance and oil changes with my local dealer, who has agreed to pay costs for other place's work. I don't have car back yet and haven't been able to drive it myself yet. Could someone tell me what I need to be careful of or look for when I get the car back tonight? Is there a possibility of major engine damage or future problems even if car is running ok right now? I was planning a big roadtrip starting this weekend - should I cancel? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I had my Ford Escape maintenenced at Ford a year ago flushing all fluids including Transmission last year. I brought it into a transmission place because i was really having trouble with it and they told me i was 2 qts low. I didnt have any leaks or anything like that. Can i hold Ford responsible? Is it really possible to go thru 2 Quarts in a year?

I have a 2000 New Beetle. When I turn the wheel in any direction, it's began to make a "growling" sound. Not scraping, but also not that typical "power steering" sound you normally hear. Any guesses on what's wrong? It seems to get worse the longer I drive it in a day.

I have a 1998 Honda Accord that dies with no warning. 70 mph on he highway and it may quit. 35 in town and it might die. The problem is intermittent. It starts back up and will likely, not have another problem.

Also, I have no problem starting it, but other people that drive the car complain that it takes several tries before they can get the car started. The key turns and it starts, but as soon as you let the key go to the "RUN" position, it dies... immediately.

Do you think these two issues are related? Does anyone have any history with this car / problem?

I replaced the upstream O2 sensor when the light came on two weeks ago.

Thanks

yesterday i hit a very big curb and seriously dented my undercarriage support bars. a spot in the trunk actually raised a bit where it hit. There is a box directly under the trunk that took some damage. It is either light metal or plastic. It is about the size of a small shoe box. It has 2 small tubes 1 on each side. After driving it wasnt hot to the touch. What could this box be? Is it safe to take ofrf and reshape? Is it another air filter aside from theo ne in the front? If there was a coolant liquit in it it would haev leaked out.

I have a 99 crown victoria.

Thank you for the help

I have spoken to a few people that own Toyota Corollas and we all happened to have the same problems. Tires (Goodyear Integrity) and batteries (I was told there was a dry cell) have had to be replaced. These repairs have been done with most cars having less then 30,000 miles on them. Has anyone else heard of or had this problem?
