Maintenance & Repairs - August 2007

I was pulling out of a drive thru window and didn't even see the darn curb. Felt like we were crossing the dang Grand Canyon!
We were coming home from the beach and the car did fine all the way home. Looked underneath and didn't see any damage, but what do I know? Should I take it in to get it checked? It's a 2007 Toyota Camry.

I own the above truck and cannot locate my owners manual. I blew the fuse connecting the 12 volt power outlet that is located at the rear of the front seat (down low, right above the cupholder). What fuse number is it so I can replace...Thanks.

I just got my truck back from the dealer and had new brakes and all four tires replaced plus axle seals. Now I have vibration. Could it be the tires must wear down some? Also had a front end alignment and that did not help.

I have a 95 sunfire. Somethimes I get a loud vibrating noise when driving. but not always. the best way I can describe it, kinda sounds like a big fan. But if I turn the wheel slightly right it stops completely. Of course my car beings to drifting right so I can't hold it in that position. The sound, sounds like it is coming from the engine area. I had the tires replaced and balanced, but I still have the same problem. Plz help I'm getting tired of this noise.

I have a 1991 Lexus LS 400. I am wanting to change my brakes out. Unfortunately, all of my lug nuts are the usual ones you see except for one. This lug nut is rounded on the outside and has what appears to be a place to put some sort of attachment on middle of the nut to help remove it. Does anyone know the specific peice or name of the part that I am going to need to remove this nut. Thanks.

Less than a year ago we replaced the battery in our 96 Chevy Lumina Minivan. My husband left the door open one night and we had to have the battery jumped. Yesterday the battery was dead again, we jumped it again. This morning it is dead again. Doors were all shut, lights were off. What is going on?

Or how hard it could be to fix? Thanks!!!!

Recently I attempted to remove the rust from my Nissan Sentra Classic 1993 vehicle with the following process:

x 120 Grit Sander
x RustCheck Rust Converter
x Mineral Spirits
x Rubbing Alcohol to clean away remaining dust
x Tremclad Primer 1L (Grey - Inhibits rust for Iron & Steel)
x Duplicolor Auto Spray

After the above process, i now see scaling on the overall job, as if the paint is being lifted. What did i do wrong?

Your recomendation on redoing this job would be appreciated.

Thanks

I recently got my 1995 pontiac bonneville back from pep boys after they fixed certain problems with my breaks locking up. After reading over some of the things they did to the car, I noticed that they had listed under "other procedures to maintain or improve vehicle" that my transaxle had internal and external leakage. I want to get this fixed I just want to know if this will be expensive or not to fix since I know that most things regarding a transmission tend to be expensive.

You don't even need to tell me how to do it, i'll find out, just need some diagnostics here!

When i change gear, i need the power of hercules to put it into drive and it sounds like the bottom just fell out. When I put it in park on a hill downwards it will knock out of gear rapidly and slowly slide down, even if the gear is tightly in park, which is hard to do already.

When i idle, my engine shakes so bad you can hear it shaking. Sometimes in certain intersections, you can hear something spinning violently fast and awkwardly, making a hell of a noise, and wobbling the whole vehicle terribly.

It smells like antifreeze really bad all the time, but it doesn't leak and my coolant/radiator works fine.

I bought new brake cylinders and pads 3 months ago. I bled them all last month. My tires are a year old and still have great treads. I squeal slamming my brakes at 10mph and it still stops crappy.
