This is an older vehicle. The latch to pop open the hood is worn out, so I have to pull alot to get it to click. When I try to pull the leaver in the front of the vehicle it doesnt seem to pop. Can someone help me figure this out n figure out the trick in opening it. I really need to get in there, my battery is dead.

I have replaced the oil pan gasket and the oil pan. The shop that did the work had to re-do the oil pan gasket because it was not done correctly and continued to leak. The technician told me that he "really made sure" that the gasket was in tight and even glued it in there. I was told that everything was fixed and that I should NOT have anymore oil leaks. I am still leaking oil, so I took the car back in. This time, they say that the rear main seal is leaking and they mysteriously don't have the tool needed to fix it. It seems strange to me that I was told I wouldn't have anymore leaks, yet a week after they work on it, the seal starts leaking. Is this just an issue of the car being higher mileage or is it possible that they caused damage to the rear main seal when they worked on the oil pan and oil pan gasket?

If it's because a tire is out of balance, how do you know which tire to get balanced?

Don't want to pay for all 4 if it's only one. Also, how does a tire suddenly become unbalanced?

I ordered the book, Car Builders Manual by Lionel Baxter, from Amazon.com, and it said it will tell you how to construct your own car. Is this actually possible?

My 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee vibrates when I am at a stop light. If I put it in neutral, it's fine. After driving it for awhile it will not do it any more, unless car sits for a couple of hours. This doesn't occur during the summer.

I have 93 Corolla. When ever the engine is not running, the engine light and the oil light are on. When I do start the engine, it goes off until I stop it. again. I hope this is normal. I'm not having any problems with this car.

When I went to have my brakes replaced last time the mechanic told me my caliper was a tearing, which I blame myself for, (whole other story). Anyway, he said that when it comes time to replace my brakes again I am going to have to probably get my caliper replaced, too. He said that was going to cost me about $500 dollars. I was thinking of just buying the caliper and getting a friend to put it in, what do you think? What is a good price for a caliper? Is it that difficult to install? Thanks a head of time!

I have a 2001 chevy impala with only 26,000 miles. Not driven a whole lot and sat while my husband was deployed to Iraq all of 2004 with the exception of small drives to run. We live in Hawaii since 2002, so cold weather hasn't been a problem. I have wondering when we should flush or change the antifreeze with such low miles?

After it has been sitting for a long period and I pull out, I step on the gas, but it doesn't go into gear. It is like it is in neutral, then all of a sudden it starts going forward. After it is warmed up, it doesn't do it anymore. You can stop at a gas station, turn it off, than start and go again and it doesn't do it, but the first couple times step on the gas, it does it. If I stop at a stop sign a little while after I have started it, it will do it a little bit. It seems to be just after start up. I recently replaced the fuel pump, but the engine is running fine. Could it be low Transmission fluid? How do you typically check for this. I drive a 2000 Dodge Caravan AWD 3.8 L 6 Cylinder. It has had transmission work done on it in the past. I think it was replaced. Please advise.
