We have had the battery and alternator checked- both good. Also, anything plugged into the cigg lighter drains power and when we turn the turn signals on you we can see the voltage meter go up and down. Does anyone know what is causing this? Any help is appreciated.

Everytime i finish driving and get out of my car i get a hefty shock; static i'm assuming - and hoping :) . Is this normal? It seems it only happens in my car. Is it a common problem or.....?
Cheers.

It almost seems like the moist air that keeps fogging it up is coming from the heating system itself... Just started doing it all of a sudden today. Also, should be noted, that it also smells kinda like oil in the cab, it's a new smell and I'm not sure if it is a related issue.

I may sound crazy, but I sometimes talk to my car. When it's almost out of gas, I find myself saying "please just make it home. I'll feed you tomorrow when I get paid. But you gotta make it!" And when I actually make it home, I thank my car for not stalling from lack of fuel. So, I'm crazy, hunh?

I just recently had an oil change, like a little over a month ago. Two weeks ago I went to start my car and heard all of this loud "knocking" noise. I checked my oil and there as hardly any in there. I have not had an oil leak . I can tell this because I park in the same parking spot at home and work, neither spots have oil stains in them. I do not believe it is burning up in my engine because I have had a car that did this and I know that you almost always can smell it when it is burning. I believe that they did not refill my oil level when doing the oil change at their station. I called them and they were extremely rude to me and suggested I just "through a quart in there" and drive it a half hour away so they can check it. Luckily, I got advice from a friend not to take it anywhere without putting the required amount of oil in it first. But now the engine does not run like it used to. Is there anything I can do about this? Shouldn't the garage I took it to be responsible?

About two weeks ago, I had a master cylinder replaced on my 1991 Dodge Ram (stick shift). Since then, our brakes have needed to be pumped and sometimes the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. Today, my husband was driving down a hill and braked. The brakes went out and he went into a ditch. The brakes are not working at the level they were before the new master cylinder was put on. In fact, the brakes were fine before. Any ideas on what is going on? Is the mechanic responsible for the problem and its eventual repair?

I have a 2001 Ford Escape V6 3.0L. When it is cold started, it wants to stall but when it is warmed up for a while it is fine. I already changed the EGR valve and the DPFE sensor and no luck. Changed the spark plugs and the oil the other day and now the engine light came on with 3 codes, P0171, P0174 and P0304. I was wondering which I should change next, the Idle Air Control (valve)Unit, or the Mass Air Flow Sensor??

I totaled my car this morning and the tow truck driver said a junkyard would probably still give me good money for it. Is this true, or am I better of just giving it to a car donation center and getting it out of my driveway? It's an 85 BMW 325e and I live in the Bay Area. If the tow to a junkyard is going to be more than what I can get for it, I'd rather just donate it but thought I'd look into what I can do to get something out of it.

Thanks!
