I have a 2000 Dodge Durango and the air conditioning was not blowing as cold as it used to so we tried to recharge it using a frion that we bought at the auto parts store. We put the can in and the pressure read normal. Then the car started jerking when we pushed the gas and the air started coming out even hotter than before so we released some pressure and then it was too low so we added another can. Now it is just warm air and the car jerks when the ac is on.....what do I do?

Four cylinder automotive engines are in cars and trucks, what do you feel is the best use of this type of motor design and why? If a company's budget is not a factor, is a four cylinder the best engine a manufacturer can build?

I had a little fender bender and everything seems all right, but when I start my car it sounds like a fan or belt is making a squealing noise. Did I knock something loose or something? Also, should I do any follow up since I had the fender bender on my car's maintainence?

Every so often, when I try to start my car and turn the key, the car does not start. It gently ticks in rythmic sequences. I try again, and again, and it's not until I try about 12-15 times that it works. It always eventually works when I keep trying. It's happened a total of 3 times and has been happening for the past year and a half. What's wrong with my car? Do I need to fix it? How much would it cost total (including labor) if I choose to fix it? Thanks!!!

I own a 1995 Honda Accord at 24o,ooo m. I bought it used (4 yr ago 13o,ooo m) and replaced the wtr pump and tim belt a year ago. Periodically it would run hot and need water in the rad which resolved the problem immediately and for nearly a year. Yet, a few months ago I noticed a hairline crack on the top of the rad which leaked slightly. Ive kept adding 50/50 to it to keep the fluid levels up and keep the engine cool too. Now, it doesnt leak but the reserve tank bubbles and the fan has stopped coming on. As long as I keep fluid in it, it stays about 5-10mm below the midway point and doesnt overheat unless I am sitting still in traffic and turning on the heater makes it go back down. My BF thinks it might be the thermostat and I suspect the fan just couldnt keep up with the leaking radiator and the motor or fuse blew? It already burns oil so we have to keep that checked weekly. Should we just shoot it and put it out of its misery? PLEASE HELP it live another year THANK YOU!

My car (Honda CRV 2001) won't go above 20 miles an hr, even though I acclerate the engines just runs and the check engine light came on. I went to a mechanic and he figured it would be the transmission problem.
I then went to a transmission shop and they asked me to leave the car for check-up and said the estimate can be around $3500-4500.... Can anyone advice ?

My radiator leaks out my coolant. I want to get another radiator before I finish tearing everything down. I just don't know if the radiator has an oil cooler or not. The place where I'm getting the radiator from asked if I needed the radiator with oil cooler or one without. Thanks for any help.

My car, for the last 6 months, has been sluggish while going uphill(any incline at all), pushing 3,000 RPMs just to get past 28 MPH. It is pretty much okay on a flat surface. The Service Engine Light has been on as well. I replaced the spark plugs and wires. What else could it be?

Please help! Whenever I brake there is a terrible rolling sound coming from the back tires/area of my 2001 Grand Prix. It is definately not the brake pads since I just had all four of them replaced by a mechanic who told me that was the problem. Well apparently it was not. Besides, it's not a squealing sound at all. It's really a rolling, almost pumping sound and feeling that only happens when I brake. It almost feels like if I brake too hard something is going to snap. Does anyone know what this could be?
