Toyota dealership says the wiper motor needs replacing. Anyone have this problem or know anything about it? Where is the wiper motor located and do you think I could replace it myself?

Just bought this car a couple days ago. I didn't notice until the next day, but when weight is added or removed from the car (like getting in or out) there is a noticeable creaking noise coming from the rear end of the car. I don't hear it while driving, only when I or passengers get in and out...

After weighing the pros and cons and battling against the worries of buying a Kia, I went through with it and bought a 2006.5 Kia Optima LX 4cyl. 5-speed. I LOVE the car. It's fun to drive, feels safe and comfy, and has already gotten lots of compliments. I'm still nervous about owning a Kia...

So the TPMS light is on. I just bought the car a couple days ago. It's been on the whole time. The salesman told me it means one of the tires has low pressure. BUT I noticed there is actually another low tire warning light that comes on when I first start the car along with all the other...

I just bought this car yesterday. The "TPMS" light was and still is on at all times while driving. I asked the salesman about it and he said it stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. He said at least one of the tires was low on air, which is why the light was on. However, when I started...

I'm looking at buying a 2006.5 Kia Optima LX. It's got the 4cyl. and 5-speed manual. I really like the way it drives, but I'm concerned with the reliability, particularly with the transmission/clutch. I've heard a lot that the Hyundai Elantra 5-speed manual is a major failure defect. Is that...

I'm looking to hear from people who actually own an Elantra. What kind of problems have you had and at what mileage? Does it make a good travel car? I want something comfortable and reasonably quiet. I have a bad back and do mostly highway travel 60 miles each way.

I'm a Volvo guy. I have a '92 940 Turbo that I'm selling and I'm thinking about replacing it with either a '96-'97 850 or '96-'98 960/S90. I like both cars a lot, but I've also read that they have a lot more problems (some major) than the 940 models I'm familiar with being excellent cars. I...

When I first start the car, the orange arrow indicator is on and the whole electrical system feels bogged down (dim lights, low rpm, low fan speed, etc) like it's weak. This is what the car does: Stepping on the gas causes the orange indicator to go off, which also eliminates the bogged down...

I removed the instrument cluster on my Mom's '95 Volvo 940 to attempt to fix the inoperable temp. gauge. When I reinstalled the cluster, one of the bulbs was burned out. So I removed it, replaced the bulb, and immediately another bulb was blown out. So I replace that bulb, check to make sure...

I was considering buying a Mercury Grand Marquis 98-02. I found several nice ones for very good prices. I started reading around the internet and there are MANY complaints about the plastic intake manifolds cracking and costing around $1,000 to fix on Ford/Lincoln/Mercury 4.6L V8 sedans. I...

I was excited when I saw advertising for the Flex. Then I went and looked at one and was pretty disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it's a very nice vehicle, but the exterior makes such a design statement and the interior is SO bland and anonymous. I would rather drive the new Taurus than the...

I've always liked Saabs and am looking for my next used car. I was interested in the 94-98 900, but did research and saw the horrible safety on youtube. Then I came across the newer 9-5 on Ebay and have seen several for a really low price. I looked at two different 9-5's with the turbo 2.3L...

My Mom's '95 940 engine detonates badly (pinging and rattling). There is also a pretty strong gas smell sometimes. We notice it when sitting still with the engine running. Her trusty Volvo mechanic can't figure out what the problem is. He told her the timing is set properly and can't be...

My Mom's '07 GMC Canyon makes a noise that sounds like whining gears between 20 and 30mph. Above or below this range, it doesn't make the noise. It has the 4-speed automatic. The fluid has already been changed. Is this normal for this truck? Since new it has always made this noise when...

I'm interested in buying an 850, but every one that I look at has warped dashboard padding. They're always warped at the passenger airbag and sometimes in the center above the vents. It looks really horrible. I don't want to buy any 850 that looks like this. If I buy an 850 that looks good...
