push. Eventually, I can get the pedal to work, but it is scary. The
pedal can also be hard to push after the car has been setting for a
while....

Oil pan stick-on engine heaters - provide any warm air through the vents? by
bryanska
Is a stick-on oil pad heater going to give me any HVAC heat, or will it
just heat the oil?
I am considering an engine heater, and have read that frost-plug types
are the best. Easier-to-install Oil pan heaters (pads that stick on to
the pan) will heat the oil, which is a good thing. But I'd like...

reliability reputation, will a car with that many miles still be a
reliable car? How many...
