Maintenance & Repairs - August 2007

I need some SERIOUS help here !!!
I bought an 05 durango in Sept. of 06. They had a huge recall on the wipers in March. I had the vehicle serviced for this recall in April. The wipers jammed up in June. They will not work at all now !!! I took it back to the dealership and they said that they didn't mess with the "transmission" in the wipers, just the motor. So they want to charge us $500 to fix it. We've done some research with that dealership, other dealerships, the customer service center for Dodge and online and there is no such thing as a transmission for the wipers. They are saying that's what they call all the wires and such attached to the motor. If they had to replace the motor in the wipers, then doesn't that mean that they had to touch the wires attached to the motor, which in turn makes them responsible for the problem ??? I don't know what to do now... we didn't even have a problem to begin with and since we were being cautious, now we have to pay for it....please help

The tires kinda spin for a second and the whole front end of the car seems to slide to one side or the other. It feels like the car is hydroplaning, only the road is dry--or at least that's the best way I can explain it. The steering is also kind of loose and jerky, and I'm pretty sure the two problems are related. Any ideas?

Recently my 2000 Kia Sportage has started to experience power surges in the Lights and AC. At random times both get either brighter or the AC comes out a lot stronger. I am wondering what the problem here is. The Battery is only about 6 months old and the Alternator was replaced 2 years ago. There are no problems turning over the Car. The Lights and the Ac are the only things that are havng the surges nothing else seems effect and no check engine lights are coming on.

I just had my front brakes done. I had to take my car back because the brakes were spongy. They told me they bled the system, and now the pedal is stiffer. But, now my car is extremely bouncy when I drive. It is a SUV so I know it is not the smoothest, but now I feel like I am bouncy up and down.

My Kia Sedona's temp gauge goes to almost H when at Idle. I checked the coolant and it is low. I can't see any leaks on the driveway. Should I just add coolant and check it, or do I have a bigger problem?

I brought my car in for an oil change because the change engine oil light was on. After getting it "fixed" by the mechanic the light remained on. When I asked them why this was they said they simply forgot to turn the light back off. Are they lying to my face? Wouldn't the light go off once the oil got changed? Anybody else have this problem.

S My car has a coolant problem!?
i have a 1994 olds cutlass. For the past 2 months it will say coolant level low, but i go fill it and it only adds a little if needed. The light for low collant level comes and goes as i am driving it, everyday. Today driving home, my check engine light came on and notice my car was overheating and the low coolant light was on. Then when i drove on , the temp dropped fast and went back to normal. Could it be the thermostat is bad, or maybe something is in the radiator blocking some flow? .........................................

now i am flushing the radiator now, while it was running noticed fan did not come on? but temp was normal while running? Is it supose to be running?

The Bone colored paint on my steering wheel is badly fading and I would like some advice on maybe some touchup paint or high quality steering wheel cover. Does anyone know of a website or brick & mortar with high quality steering wheel covers? Can I spray paint the steering wheel? In regards to a steering wheel cover, does anyone know if there are silicone steering wheels available anywhere (sort of like the silicone used for Ipod cases)? I'm willing to pay a high price to keep my car interior looking pristine! Also, my gearshift knob is experiencing this same fading so any help would be great, thanks.

I have a 98 Intrepid that has less than 40k miles. sinve I've had the car, I've had 7 new batteris put in. The radio is urned off, no interior or trunk light is on. Two different mechanics tested the alternator and that is fine. The stater is also good.

The battery is locaed in the passenger side wheel well, so there are 2 cable that are attached to the battery comin up and case it needs to be jumped. I have no idea where the battery losin power or what could be drawing from it. I also HIGHLY doubt, I could have gotten 7 bad batteries in a row.

Can anyone help?

my car runs good had it up to 139 km with power to spare. In the mornings though it will lose power sometimes, where I can't get it up to 90 km per hour. it will just kick down and rev high but not accelerate and even slows down. So I will pull over and wait for a bit , start it up and it will run fine or do the same thing later on. Its not hesitating or stalling but I can feel the power lose in the gas pedal. 1.6 liter carburated engine, 3 speed automatic, oil and coolant are fine.No clue why

Does mustard seal leaks around your water pump? A lady I work with is having water pump problems with a van she bought from a guy we both work with. He told her to put mustard in it. I think he's full of sh*t. What do you guys think
