The fist day I got my TSX I took it to get a window tint job. I didn't notice until a couple of days later that they had made a couple of small stains on my leather. I have already tried a couple of products, nothing seems to work. It has to be like some really strong chemicals they used. Any one have any good suggestions? I heard my only option would be to paint the stains over with the matching color of the leather (tan). Has anyone tried this? If so, does it work?

Also in automatic mode it takes a bit of time to get up to speed and the engine feels like it is not engaging. I think i may have a clutch or gearbox prob, i have been told the engine is meant 2 do this as it is a protection from the driver over revving and causing damage. does anyone have any ideas or similar probs.

Yesterday I was driving back to school and my car, which is a '94 Mercury Sable, has been acting wierd for a period of time. Sometimes when I accellerate or take off around a corner its like my car tries to shift into second gear, gets stuck makes a grinding or a shudder type noise and then continues on just fine. So when I got off the interstate yesterday I noticed some white smoke and a bad smell coming out of my car...I parked it and when I got out there was some faint white smoke coming out from under the hood and I think a rather large puddle of dark liquid under my car. I checked the oil before I left and it was at the same place after I parked it. What could this be? Please help. Thanks.

before I went to bed. I woke up and found the front windows to be fully open in the morning. I am more than 100% sure I locked it up. There was no sign of damage- how could this have happened?
Could it be that someone else's transmitter opened my windows? Could it be that I did not press the lock button a second time, which would give the car some additional signal not to open the windows after a while? Did anyone else encounter such a thing? Any thoughts / hypotheses / similar experience?

Daughter started to drive car to school this AM. She says she turned a corner, and teh whole car started to shake. Continued to drive and had to stop for a red light. Once stopped, car would not engage in either reverse or drive. Is the problem more likely drive train or transmission related? Please help. Thank you.

I've taken the rear seat out. The foam has absorbed the diesel. I also have diesel on some trim. Unfortunately the spill is next to the gas tank. Any harm with that? It seems to have eaten the lining on the metal between the seat and tank.
