My 99 Pontiac Montana has a weird transmission problem. This happens intermittently only when warmed up. The vehicle will start to have harsh upshifts in all gears and their is a 'whining' noise when this happens. If I stop the car and shut it off this goes away and comes back another time. Anyone got an idea.....93K on the van

One vehicle is a 2003 Dodge Caravan, and the other is a 2000 Jeep Cherokee. Buying new or used vehicles are not really in our budget so we are just looking for ballpark expenses.

My brother Jimmie is an 18 year old high school senior who works at McDonald's to save money for college. A few days ago, he was leaving work and accidently backed into a coworker's '94 Ford Ranger. My brother drives an '05 Grand Am. There was a minor dent in Jimmie's bumper and a minor dent in the coworker's door. Jimmie wanted to call the police, but the guy said he has 3 kids and can't afford car insurance. The guy begged my brother not to call the police and Jimmie made the mistake of not calling. They agreed that nothing further would be done. Later that evening, the guy went home and tried to fix the dent himself. When he returned the next day, the dent was twice the size it was. He then told my brother that he tried to fix the dent and couldn't, so he went and got an estimate for repair of the damages. The total was $1500. He is now harrassing my brother at work, and calling him at home.

Since the guy didn't have insurance but my brother did, who's at fault? Who pays? Thanks!!

I've had my 99 Pontiac Montana diagnosed to have a leaking intake manifold gasket. Cost to replace is about $700. Does this seem right? Can I let it go? Or get 'stop leak'?

At first when cold it would start up without any problems, but when it warmed up it was hard to start and you could smell excess fuel. Now, all it does is crank and back fires even when cold. I have changed the fuel filter twice, fuel pump, spark plugs, cap and rotor. I have also ran a fuel system cleaner through the system twice.

My tailpipe is loose on my muffler. How can I fix it without buying a whole new set-up for $275? I tried muffler mender around the base of the tailpipe and the muffler but that did not work. It kind of rattled itself off.

No syrupy crap in the oil or coolant. Coolant is good and green. Engine runs warm at times. I NEVER let it totally overheat.

Had a mess under the hood when I did my hoses. I occasionally smell antifreeze inside the truck at times. I hope its just leftovers burning off. Windows fog up lately. No coolant in floor.

I thought heater core but someone said I probably blew a head gasket. If its that I am ******. I will never have the money to fix it.

I have a 1999 mazda millenia. Recently I started to feel vibrations near the left wheel. Mechanic after diagnosis figured the wheel bearing and hub need to be replaced. He also asked me to go in for a wheel alignment and said the total cost would come upto USD 500. This is in Minneapolis with the zip 55423
Would like to know, is this a fair price or am I getting ripped off.
Also, if I delay the replacement, is there any danger while driving on a freeway.
If anybody knows a cheaper place for getting a mazda repaired in Minneapolis near the zip 55423, would greatly appreciate it.

I have a 2002 GMC Envoy and wondered if adding these to my doors and around the engine would actually (i.e. siginificantly) reduce noise from outside the vehicle.

Thanks

I have had a car remote start system for over 2 years now. Lately, when I turn it on, it starts half way and then turns off. Seconds later, however, it starts up fine. Sometimes on the third time but no more. I just wanted to know if there is any chance my car can get messed up since it starts half way and then shuts off. I have a 1999 subaru legacy gt limited edition 2.5. thanks

I drive a 2001 GMC Yukon, Automatic with about 87,000 miles on it. I have had 2 main problems with it as of late. I will be making a hard left or right turn and it will stall on me, and now that problem has elevated to stalling sometimes when I am going straight but this only happens at low speeds.Also I will stop at a red light or a stop sign and I can hear and feel the engine rev up slightly and then go down.It kind of causes the whole truck to vibrate and it's very noticeable. It does it alot, almost every time. The RPM gauge also moves up and down with the reving of the engine,Anyone have any clue of whats happening?

I recently went to a Shell Gas Station & seen a seperate gas pump labeled "Natural Gas". There was nothing there saying it is o.k. to use it on any car, so i didn't bother thinking it could mess up the engine since it might just be made for specialty cars. I looked it up online, still there's no explanation on it if it's o.k. to use for Acura's, Honda's, Mitsubishi? whatever car.....does anyone know? thanks....
