The vehicle sat for months without being driving but no sight of dampness in the interior, just a musty smell. If cause known, please explain how to correct.

Everyday my keys are stuck in the switch! I can get to my destination, but my keys will not come out for some reason. It only does this when it is cold out. When it is a warm day they come right out. Or if I warm up the car when i get to my point, they will come out. Do I need a new ignition switch or something. This mess is driving me crazy!

The car has a tick in the engine, with only 80k on it. I keep great care of the car, don't even drive it in the winter months. But I do start it and let it warm up. Last time it was super cold outside, I started the car and the engine had this tick. Which is still with it today. So would anyone else have this problem and any idea what it might be? I think the car has an oil leak too, because it has been useing some oil for just sitting all winter in the garage. Thanks...

I have a '93 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0 L and the serpentine belt broke. The auto repair place says $60 to fix it. Should I try to fix it myself or just take it in? If I do it myself, I'll have to look it up online anyway so if anyone thinks that I should try it, instructions would be helpful.

The doorsill of my car is lined with hard, acrylic plastic. I often scrape over it with my shoes, which leaves shoe polish stains behind. I've tried removing them with soap--didn't work. Amonia-based cleaners like Windex--didn't work either. Nailpolish remover worked, but it also damaged the plastic of the doorsill. Any ideas, anyone?

When I push down the turn signal on my Audi for 1 second (not enough to turn it 'ON') it flashes 3 times and then shuts off. It's intended for lane changes, I suppose.

Many '07 Chryslers do it to, but I'd like to retrofit my '06 Durango. Any suggestions?

Ok... so I understand that it's a safety thing... and I anticipate people reminding me so. I'm the only one that drives my Durango, and, no, I never have kids in the car. So...

How to I make my '06 act like my '98, so that I can start the engine and go straight into gear, without applying the brake?

I recently bought a 2000 Buick Regal, it stalls when I turn the blinkers on, right or left, doesn't matter. All the dash lights come on and the car goes dead. Scary when you're in traffic, the power stearing also goes out. Problem is intermitent. Had 5 different mechanics say they can't find it. They've replaced the mullti function switch in the stearing column and swear they have been through all the wiring but my car continues to stall. It also intermitently won't start back up, dash lights blink on and off, sounds almost like the battery is completely dead or the starter isn't getting the job done. Also, without warning, the traction assist will turn off, check engine light and ABS lights will come on. The dealership I bought this car from have basically washed thier hands of it and will not service it again. Wondering if anybody out there has some advice? Knows what the problem is? It would be wonderful if I could pin point it, fix it and not freak everytime I drive my car

Yesterday I got home the car drained the battery engine died in front of my house in a snow storm Lucky Me. Immedietly tried starting and it was dead. Tried again in an hour and it started but everything drained again. I repaced the battery and the alternator, now the car starts fine but battery light is coming on and off and the battery needle gage goes low then high, it keeps happening.
