It is not because the wheel is in a bind, it seems there may be an electric issue as to why the key wont turn.

i have some problems with my 92 honda accord..

i# 1 - it seems to have some kind of brake problem or so i thought before i called a mechanic and said it was probably a wheel cylinder because whatever it is wont work if its on a hill, even though anywhere else its fine. what do you think this is and how much will it be?

# 2 -.. my interior light wont work, even though i replaced the bulb twice.. do you think this is a fuse?

# 3 - my tape player suddenly stopped working and makes all my tapes sound like they're being fast forwarded - anyone have any way to fix this?

# 4 - just one of the things on the hood that squirts windshield wiper fluid out doesnt work..why is this?

# 5 - my antenna was ripped halfway off somehow.. is there an easy way to just get a signal/fix this without buying a new antenna?

# 6 - my trunk leaks.. anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it by doing it yourself without paying an auto shop???

It ran hot. I replaced the water pump because it was leaking. when he replaced it he said i had a cracked head or blown gasket or a intake gasket needed to be replaced.At first the oil and water wasn't mixing,now it starting to. I fill it with water now it won't crank I think it too much water on the spark plugs. I ran it on a auto scanner because check engine light came on it read P0300.Any advice or is it best to get another motor.

BAR for california question. Written estimate and invoice. If doing business with another company and not an individual consumer. is it required by bar, and state regs that a repair shop have a signed invoice from another company. Example: It is required that each invoice must be signed by the consumer for repairs. my question -is Does a company who contracts with a repair shop for services required to sign the final invoice?or is it not necessary?

my car has been having problems starting for awhile now. It strains to turn over. Once i get it started I have to manually warm the engine by keeping my foot on the accelerator (someone broke off the choke), if i don't, the car stops running and i have to restart it, causing it to flood. Once the engine is warm it runs on its own.

Anyway, yes i know this question is long, please keep reading. I started the car today, and forgot something in the house and shut it off 5 seconds after i started it the first time. I got back in the car, tried to start it, and nothing! It wont even turn over now! The lights work (dash, headlights, stereo). What is causing this?? Is it the Altenator, the battery or the starter?? please help!

So, we just took our '86 Cadillac DeVille to Muffler Brothers to have them do the brakepads and passenger side rotor. This was TODAY we did this. So my boyfriend is driving downtown and the TIRE CATCHES ON FIRE!!!! What could cause something like this? Is Muffler Brother's obligated to fix our car?? Oh my god, this sucks!!!

I have Nissan Altima 2003 with 35,000 miles on it, Still under warranty.I followed the mantienance schedule carefully This car is running the third engine that was put by the authorized Nissan Shop plus the car had many other problems that were covered by the warranty. I had real bad time with this car. It keeps giving troubles, they just keep fixing until the warranty expires. Then what? I am still paying the car, a car thats not dependable. It may be the authorized service center fault but I still keep having troubles. Need someone from Nissan to help me, I want this car to be exchanged for another. PS I live in Puerto Rico US

I have a Almera, and my car is not driving like normal. I went to the garage and the mechanic said the Calipers are seizing. What does this mean? When I go up a hill in 2nd gear, it struggles. It also doesn't move freely on a normal road. I am really worried and was wondering if a new caliper would sort this out? If not, am I buggered?

Thanks in advance :)
