I got a transmission flush at Jiffy Lube, and about 2-3 weeks later, my car started shifting funny, and the D4 light started flashing. I took my car straight to a mechanic. I told him I just got a flush at Jiffy Lube, and he said Jiffy Lube uses Dexron III, which is not good for use in my car (2002 Honda Accord V-Tech V6). He flushed it with the right fluid which helped the shifting a bit, but he told me that the damage caused was permanent, and that I would eventually need a new transmission. I looked in my user's manual, and there it was: Only use Honda transmission fluid. Use of Dexron will decrease shift quality, only use temporarily if absolutely necessary.

My car drove well before, but now it has been driving bad ever since. I went to Jiffy Lube and told them what happened. They won't take responsibility for it, and I can't afford a new transmission (about $4,000). Has anyone else had this problem? Should I sue? Is there a class action lawsuit that I can join?

My check engine light came on and the Auto Zone guy said that it was my engine coolant temperature sensor. It's safe to drive. I drove it. My car started smoking, come to find out my radiator has blown due to no water. Which as happened before and there was water inside. What to do?

This is for a 2002 Jetta 1.8 Turbo. I'm trying to figure out if it's the cheap sensor or the more expensive one. Could someone post a link where I might buy the cirrect O2 Sensor?

I want a super cheap car that is not a piece of junk. Kia is out, probably not a chevy... What about Dodge Neons? Other ideas?

I restarted and the lights didn't come on. I don't know much about cars...this is my first car. It's used and I've only had it a week to the day. Can it be just my battery or something more like an alternator or something like that. I don't know if I should drive it to work...I don't want it stalling on me again. I will take it to a garage but I just don't know if I should try to take it to work. Please help me.

I dont think it needs rebuilt, no pistons and stuff. Just rings, seals, stuff like that. I have a basic knowledge of cars and some all right tools. Is it doable by a novice, Im on a budget.
