Fiat Chief Shuffles Chrysler Exec Lineup http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/oct2009/db2009105_270203.htm The heads of the Chrysler and Dodge brands are pushed aside as CEO Sergio Marchionne moves quickly to put his stamp on the troubled company By David Kiley Just as Chrysler...

How do I rent a 300C, Magnum or Charger? Want to test drive... and, yes, I know, fleet vehicles are anemically powered, but it's the rest of the vehicle I'm interested in. Want to know which agencies rent them, and how to maximize my chances of getting one of those three instead of a...

I'm thinking about buying a Dodge Charger SE. Anyone here own one or heard anything about it? Most reviews I've found are one the Hemi-powered Charger, so there's not much info out there on the V6.

I haven't picked up my car yet but the Dodge dealer who accepted the challenge called me up and was all excited and declared the car fixed. Apparently, with the very warm weather today (70 degrees here in NC) the car did it consistently. 3 technicians (one in the car turning the wheel) worked it...

I have a 97 Intripid, 3.5Litre (well 2 of them actually, and the other is working good other than the check engine light) that is overheating. This past winter it overheated one day and limped into an out of town garage. They replaced the t'Stat and said I should not drive it as it appears to...

I was out trying to look at a new car, and my wife took a liking to the Jeep Crossover, with the two-pulley transmission. I am not new to this design, as I have been using this type of transmission/clutching in the snow machines. My concern is that I like simple. This system, unlike the...

When I start out, the gauge will be consistent in the "normal range." When stopping for a red light, it will swing almost to the far-right of the normal range. After getting up to a normal speed, it will move back into the middle of the normal range. I have changed the thermostat, but it did not...

Hi, I am the poster of the original Dumb Gease Question. I wanted to know why I can't fit my 25 year old grease fitting on my 2002 Caravan zirc fittings, because the zirc is smaller than the grease nozzle, and even pushing with a lot of strength, the greases oozes out all over the zirc fitting...

What Is an American Car? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123265601944607285.html These Days Its Hard to Tell, and That Could Snag the Push to Save Detroit Auto Makers By JOSEPH B. WHITE Could there be a more American vehicle than a "Jeep Patriot?" Nothing on

I have a '99 Intrepid that is serving me well but I have one nagging problem. I can't get the remote trunk release to work from inside the car, nor from the remote switch on the key fob. I have checked the power on both sides of the switch on the dash - OK. I've disconnected the plug going to the...

(Sorry if this is been hashed over many times in the past...) Is there a recommended interval for the timing belt replacement on a '99 3.0 Mitsubishi Voyager? The owner's manual doesn't appear to make a concrete statement about it, and searches of the 'net have not yielded a definitive answer.

I have a 1996 neon highline and have noticed that while driving the speedo needle will drop down to "0" and stay there for awhile. The next day it will work fine again. Then a day or so latter it will stop working. When it has stopped working the odometer also doesn't advance. My mechanic...

I'm convinced that the knocking sound is coming from these things, but the auto parts store wants $45 each side for an assembly. Does anyone make just the bushings for $4-5 ? Are the connecting rods rebuildable at all? Hard to believe a van with only 45,000 miles needs a bushing rebuild...

Anybody know of a list of what rebates Chrysler will be offering after the Jan 3 cut off? thanks

I have suddenly developed a problem with the windshield wipers on my '92 Dodge Dynasty. I can't turn them off! Intermittent settings also no longer function. When the switch is in the off position, the wipers are working as if they are at the "low" setting. I can switch it to the "HI" setting,...

I know there has been previous comment here on the unavailability of a straight version of the XtraVision 9005 (or is it 9006? -- the low-beam one) for use on the 300M, but I was surprised to see the 9005XV (9006XV?) listed in the Sylvania book as an upgrade for the 300M. Does this mean that the...

My wife was in the hospital, and I guess that I was preoccupied. I had gotten so used to using the ATF +3 in my 95 Caravan that I accidentally used it for a fluid and filter change in her 99 Concorde instead of the synthetic ATF +4. I feel that I need to get as much of this ATF +3 out of her car...

Hi all, My neon was leaking oil so I took it to the mechanics and they fixed it to a certain degree but it's still leaking a few drops a day. They said that to fix the problem completely I'd have to change the head gasket which would cost me a lot of money (>$1000). My question is what sort of...

1996 Chysler Concorde 3.5l Friends daughter is coming home from school this weekend, and wants help with her car. Check engine light is on... Runs great at any driving speed, but at idle - in park or neutral, it runs extremely rough. Car has 60k miles, and is MINT!
