I made a deposit of $500 in 97/98 with Smythe Mercedes, which is the San Jose area on Steven's Creek Boulevard. (I had thought of getting an ML, but decided against it later.) I started calling them around 2001/2002 about getting back my deposit, but got no action. The fellow I dealt with, Rich...

I have an 04 Mini Van with wireless locks and electric doors. I need to replace one of the keys and am getting all sorts of confusing info and prices. Where can I find reasonable prices and reliable equipment. One vendor will sell me OEM keys but I have to take to someone to have them...

I have a 2001 2.7L Dodge Intrepid SE (base model w/69K miles) that has been very reliable and served me well, but I am experiencing a "problem" and would appreciate others thoughts. When the outside temperature is cold (and I will define cold here to mean somewhere below 10-15 degrees F), if I...

Hello all, I just purchased a '73 Plymouth Valiant in faded root-beer brown with the 225 slant six from a co-worker for the grand sum of $0. While I'm a car buff, I've never really worked on cars before, and I figure this is a good basic car to learn how to tinker on and dream about fixing up into...

My 5th ave has 80 thousand miles on it, I love this car. A few days ago it started bucking badly once it warmed up. I brought it to be looked at and was told I needed to replace the carburetor. I don't know if I trust this guy to know what is wrong and am afraid he's just taking a guess. I really...

'93 Grand Voyager, 3.0L, 3 speed auto (Dad used to say it was the four speed O/D, but it doesn't have O/D on the shifter, cruising at 100kph is at around 3k revs, and I only feel three shifts so...). I know some trannies in these vans is known to drop at 180k kms on the dot, I'm sitting at 178k...

Ok, as per my previous posting, I had the clutch cable snap on my yesturday. Shouldn't be a big deal changing it, right? After calling around about a a few Dodge dealers, (cable is considered a dealer part by everyone I taked to) I managed to locate on within 100miles. Now, after some fun getting...

Does any know, FOR SURE if the 300C convertible is going to be built, and when? Please advise. . .

Anyone have an aftermarket remote starter? I'd really like one of these things on my 99 T&C. Can I get some input from others who have them? Any makes of starters I should avoid? Any you would recommend? Thanks, Brigitte

Just today my '00 300M started running rough. Most noticable at idle - like a cylinder not firing. Engine light came on. After parking it for a while, and starting it, it idles rough, but no engine light. Engine light only comes on if I drive it a little. Codes displayed on odometer are P1684...

Recently when I put the RIGHT turn signal on, the foglight comes on. I assume it comes on, because the instrument panel foglight indicator comes on. Doesn't do it on a LEFT turn signal. Any ideas? I know how to turn the foglights on and off. The handle is pushed in to the OFF position, but signal...

We have just replaced the distributor in my wife's 1996 Sebring Convertible. Now when we start it up, it goes to 4500 RPM on the idle. I am not sure what our mph speed is at idle, as we have no Speedometer (it's dead), but I would estimate it at around 40mph or so. Any assistance would be most...

Hello, My sisters '96 LHS with a 3.5l and 133000 mi. was running fine until a fill up. She says she was going down the interstate and the car began coughing, and missing, until it finally coughed big and died; no more than 10 miles down the road from the fill-up. It would not re-start. I suspected...

A friend of mine was just given (yes, GIVEN) a new 300C Hemi. I haven't paid much attention to Chrysler since I sold my 300M, but he's asked me if anyone produces a "chip" for the '05 hemi. If anyone has a lead on non-vaporware companies with performance-tuned chips for this car/engine, I'd...

Just picked up a 92 Caravan for a hauler. Looks and drives pretty good. Then discovered the brake booster runs almost constantly and is blowing back through the reservoir. The dreaded Bendix ABS-10. 115k miles. Google search not much help... 1. self-replacement - any tips, sources for new...
