I can insert the key, but often can't turn it.

And, sometimes, even when I can turn the key to unlock all the doors, they are all frozen shut and I can't open any of the doors.

This does not happen on other cars (ie with other people I know who live in the same environment/temperatures), so has anyone heard of a design flaw or recall on this ?

1960 Ford Galaxie Sunliner with power brakes. All new shoes. Drums fine. Vacuum lines to MC are OK. MC full of fluid. no apparent leakage at back sides of wheels. All of a sudden, very hard pedal but no stopping power. Have not pulled the wheels yet. What could cause the hard pedal and no brakes to speak of?

My dims and DRLs are working fine but I always have a very dimly lit bright symbol in the instrument panel and when I turn the brights on it goes out as do the headlights. I have notice a considerable amount of moisture inside the lenses. I have aftermarket bulbs in now, I tried putting the old ones back in and they do the same thing. All fuses relating to headlamps appear to be good. Also how do I get the moisture out of the headlamp assembley? Do I need to re-glue the lense?

The blinkers on my '05 jeep wrangler have quit working and I can't figure out why. I have already checked the bulbls and fuses and wires. My dad says that I might have blown a relay, but I can't find one for the blinkers, or flashers(hazard lights). Can some one please help me?

Which new car would you rather have with your budget? MB are the least dependable, but probably the most luxurious. BMW's are nice, but every1 has one and they cost a crapload to fix. Audi's are definitely the best in snow and mud and rain, but also expensive to fix. Which make and model?

A few weeks ago our 99 Ford Winstar Van would lose battery power and go dead after a day of sitting in the driveway. We got a new battery and the problem still persists. There's no indication of any interior lights or things being left on. Something is draining the battery and we can't seem to pinpoint it. Any suggestions? It seems the problem started after taking the van through a drive through car wash. Not sure if that's relevant or not. If you have some ideas let me know. Thx

We locked our truck with the alarm button, but have since lost the alarm pad. We have a key to open and start the vehicle, but do not know how to deactivate the alarm using the key only. I believe that there is a way to do this, can someone please help?

My mini-van is making even me, the driver, car sick! I need good shocks so I don't feel like I'm in a small boat instead of a land vehicle...we live on a dirt road with lots of twists and turns. The van has about 78,000 miles on it and I don't think the shocks have ever been changed.

I recently bought a new 07 Dodge Charger and love the ride it gives. The only problem is I can't get comfortable in the seat, its either my feet feel wrong or my grip on the wheel. I think the problem is I am so use to driving the P71 Crown Victoria that I am trying to get the same feel in the charger. the question I am asking is has anyone else had the same problem with there Dodge Charger. If there any police officer having the same problem like to hear from you.

I am always open to tips and suggestions

I'd stop that from happening again? My first guess would be it's from the sun, but the fog light covers have the same haze. Is it just from time, or substandard plastic instead of the usual glass?

i have the cold air intake from K&N 77 Series on it

i want to get more power out of it but i cant affort a programmer
what spark plugs do you recommend to up the horseys?

i have been looking at the 4 - 6 point spark plugs
are they really worth the 6 to 7 bucks (thats a lot of money when your engine takes 16 of them)

should i use colder plugs, hotter plugs, stick to basics, ....

anybody out use those plugs before, let me know what you think of it
