Maintenance & Repairs - March 2007

I have a 2001 Chevy S-10 4 wheel drive with right at 100,000 miles on it. When I am driving it and make a left turn, it makes a high pitched scraping noise, like metal on metal.

It may need new brakes and rotors, but does anyone think this could be a wheel bearing going out too? It only does it on left handed turns, usually at around 35 to 50 miles an hour. It stops when I apply the brakes also.

I know that it is used to make a new key, but there are numbers and a barcode. Does this code hold infromation about the program chip inside the key? The owners manual states that if you lose your key that one can be made easily at your dealer with this tag. Well I need a new key for my car, the key its self is 33.95, but they want to charge 100.00 to program the key- doesnt it seem like the barcode would have infromation about the previous key? This vehicle is a 2007 pontiac G6 Sedan. Please someone that knows about this help me out. They act like this piece of infromation (the barcode tag) is nothing important, but if its not inmportant then why, tell you in the owners manual to put it in a safe place incase you lose your keys!

I can't open rear windows from back seats. I can only do it with main buttons, located on the front left door of the car. When I press and hold a button that should unlock rear windows, person sitting on the back seat can open the window. As soon as I let the button, the person can't open.
Please help me solve this problem, everytime someone wants to open rear window, I have to hold the button.

I have a 1993 toyota camry that vibrates alot when I am at a stop light/sign. I took it to the dealership and the mechanic told me that the balance shaft inside the cam is damaged but I can put the car in neutral to stop the vibration. He also told me that I can go another 100,000miles like that. Is this true? I also called another toyota dealership and he said that it would cost a couple of thousands of dollars to repair and it is not worth it because my car is so old. He told me that my engine will go soon. Is this true? Both dealerships answers are conflicting. I am really trying to avoid a car payment.

I cleaned it off last August, just before it went in for a full service. It was quite a mountain of bluey thin particle dust which covered one terminal entirely. I cleaned it off with hot water and a little metal brush, and then applied some battery terminal grease.

I looked again today and the dusty build up has built up again around one terminal... although its greasier this time cause of the grease.

Is this dusty stuff something to be concerned about ? Is it a sign that my battery is on the way out in near future ?

My engine overheated and had to have it rebuilt. When I picked it up from the mechanic, it made a clicking noise on acceleration. My friend said it was a lifter, so i brought it in the next day.
The mechanic said one of the lifters just needs to be primed and they would give me a complementary oil change. They said the noise would go away in a few days.
1) Aren't you supposed to change the oil when you rebuild an engine?
2) How long does it take to "prime" a lifter?
3) Will it hurt my engine.
I paid 3000. dollars and feel like I am being given a load of B.S. because they don't want to properly fix the problem.
Any ideas?

I have a '02 Nissan Altima with the check engine light stuck on and have already pulled the code out for low emissions leak. I just need to reset the thing without having to pay someone else an arm and a leg, and a couple of kids to have them take 5 minutes and viola. I know there's got to be an easy way to fix this. Please help!

The factory filter has 1 in tube and 1 out tube. The new filter has 1 in tube and 2 out tubes, but is identical in size to the old filter. I took the new and old filters with me to autozone, and advanced auto. Both stores told me the new filter is the correct one. Could this have been a recall issue or something? We bought the car new and never replaced the filter until now so i know its not something someone rigged together.
