It'll start most time. Sometimes after running I will go to start it back up and it sounds like a dead battery. Let it sit for awhile and will start back up and run fine.

My front passenger floor is wet, my windows and windshield are fogged up even with the car is just sitting in the driveway. I am pretty sure the heater core is leaking due to the symptoms here, so does anyone know step by step how to replace it? Do you have to go near the airbags or is it safe to do this yourself?

I have a truck and I am making monthly payments. It'll be mine in about 3 years -- title and all. I was looking into getting it repainted. Do I have to own the truck (with the title) before I can paint it a different color? Or can I have it painted even though I am still making payments on it.

My 4x4 in my 1988 S-10 suddenly stopped working. It had been working fine and when I went to put it in 4 wheel drive yesterday, I had no 4x4 [high or low]. The 5 speed seems fine otherwise.Any ideas ? It seems that I had to replace some `switch' a few years ago maybe on the transfer case, but I can't remember.

The temperature control switch broke right behind the face plate during the summer heat.

I have a new switch, but I'm not quite sure how to get the dash apart.

Should the entire dash pad come off or can the instrument cluster face pop out?

Also, where is the second fuse block?

I was hoping they would start on it and have it done soon, but its been there for a week and one day and they still never got an estimate on it. Should I pull it out and take it to another body shop?

I am talking about base models around 70k miles. I usually steer away from american cars but the 300 has just a bit better mpg, better saftey tests, and a longer standard warranty(not to mention the looks). The maxima has a little more powerful engine (not major deal for me) and a moonroof(which I love) and looks good. Is the maxima more reliable in the long run or the 300? (not concerned about resale value since I plan to have either car for about 4-5 years(around 20k miles a year) )

I just recently bought a 2003 ford mustang gt and the dealer said it took premium. However i read on the internet that it took regular unleaded. That would greatly help my wallet if it did. Anyone know? Thanks.

I can pick up from pretty much anywhere. The head gasket has blown on mine. I don't have any money to fix it, I'm pretty screwed without one.

In a nutshell, I "bumped" into the car ahead of me going at idle speed. The driver of the other vehicle freaked out, and appeared to be drunk. He kept refusing a police report, because he was "in a hurry". As it was my fault, I let it slide by. (keep in mind there really was just minor paint damage). He has since filed a claim with my insurrance company for more than what originally happend. I should have forced him to stay, but he conned me out of it, as it was truly my fault. Looking back at it, this guy was clearly trying to avoid the police.
