air condition works and so does the heater but no matter what setting I use, the air only comes out on the top near the windshield and not the vent that blows the air directly to you. Is it possible that by control panel has gone out and how can I check to see if it is still functional. thanks all.

My van runs fine after it is jump started, but will not even try to start when I turn the key. The battery is fine because the lights work and the indicator lights work when the key is in. What is wrong and how can I fix it?

I have had my Saturn for about 2 years now. I bought it off a guy who kept it in very good garage condition. However, for some reason I started to notice that the clear coat is chipping off and the sun is KILLING the silver color right off it! I know that saturns arent made from a metal. They are basically a composite of plastic and other fibers. I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone as well. And if so, what have you done to fix it? Did you get a new paint job? And if you did, will this continue to happen because of the saturns body, or does it depend on the paint? Hey I know Saturns are cheapy, but for the price I paid and 30 thousand miles you just can't beat it. Plus it's just so girly. I took it to mechanics and the guy even let me test drive it Havent had any problems with it except this fricking paint. Anyone got ideas? And how bout some pricing for a paint job? I would really appreciate it...Thanks!

I sold my 87 RX-7 to my husbands uncle in as is condition which was excellent for a vehicle of it's age. It only had 80,000 miles on it and was well taken care of. He was driving it and it caught fire and burnt to the ground. He did not have insurance on the vehicle. The car was my pride and joy and I only sold it to him as a favor because he did not have a vehicle to get to work in. I sold it for $1500 and he gave me a down payment of $700. I do not know what he did to it in the month he had it but I do not think I should have to refund his money and with the contract I wrote he really owes me the balance reguardless. If I would have sold it as is to a private non related party I would still want my money. Should I refund his money?

I bought a 2000 Honda Civic recently, and now my inspection is coming up. I noticed the malfunction indicator lamp does not come on at all. The other lights do, so it's not likely the dash or fuse. My car won't pass inspection without that light. I have a feeling someone messed with the computer to screw it up. Is there a way to fix this, and do I have any legal recourse against this guy? Thanks.

I've done a lot of projects, but never car glass. Is it worth the savings to try it? Thanks.

I was driving home yesturday and when I let go of the gas and the car sits in drive at a red light the RPMs lower a little bit and the engine feels jittery almost like it's misfiring or somthing. When I give it gas I don't feel this anymore. It is less apparent at Park. Before I open the hood I want to see what others say. The best answer get's 10 pts.

Hello, I have a 98 chevy cavalier that has had serious overheating problems, I have had the motor in the fan , the water pump, the temperature gauge and the air take temperature sensor raplace. When I got my temperture gauge fixed the mechanic said that the radiator looked fine, but that he notice that I had the wrong color coolant (green) and I should have orange. Every time that I drive the car even in short trips >10miles on summer days the temperature gauge reaches the end of the white (normal) line and one time has went a little further over but has never gotten to the point of the Red Danger Line. what else could be wrong with this stupid car?, Could it be the wrong color coolant?

As long as I don't turn the air on the car runs fine. I have a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier. It was bought brand new. When it was just 3yrs old I had to get a fuel pump installed. Just got an oil change 2wks prior to it turning off.
Before it turns off it sounds like it seems to loose power and then BAM it just shuts down.
