  • 2003 Cadillac Escalade ESV service ride control light on. what causes that?
  • 1991 Nissan Pickup (D21) Great runner, easy maintenance, just clicked 450,000 kms 3rd owner. Now in the process of customizing
  • 2001 Jaguar S-Type Beautiful looking Car and great looking interior with a really impressive motor - thats where it ends. Cheap bushing that doesn't last and cheap bits such as the expansion tank which is prone to cracking causing the engine to overheat. The transmission (auto) is rubbish and the Achilles heel of the car. The interior plastic cannot take the climate (desert) or UV and cracks easily. Jaguar reeks of style and quality thats why this car does not deserve the badge - it is shameful and I am a Brit who has owned many XJs and XJs. Please walk away from this car at all costs.
  • 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser I bought this pt 2008 new, and never had a problem everithing is workink properly, i changed the brakes pads and rotor after five years of use not bad! my car has 42000 mmilles
  • 1990 Honda Accord Just purchased a 1990 Accord LX coupe with 58k miles. I've had Hondas in the past and find the 1990-93 the best model ever built. Have a small water leak coming from the driver's side automatic seat belt track area. Anyone looking for a GREAT used car, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND a 1990-93 Accord.
  • 2002 Toyota Sequoia We bought our 2002 Sequoia limited and runs great. However, in 2010 we had major issues with the vsc and trac lights and the swervy car light coming on. It came on as I was driving it and it swerved and then stalled- it seemed to be forcing the engine when I tried to at least get it off the road. After several trips and weeks without my car- the toyota dealer said it didn't find anything wrong and the computer system seemed fine. I drove it home and then it happened again. After 2 months, and 4 tries from an independant car shop, they found the main computer system needed to be replaced. I paid well over 1k after paying toyota $200 to do nothing and another $250 to replace something that may have caused the issue- but continued happening- I was out of pocket about $1500. I complained and looked for 2002 recall- and after calling toyota- they said my car was not under the recall. I've been waiting to see if they recall and reported to NHTS, but nothing yet. It's the exact same problem described in 2004-05 year models but for some reason they don't go back to earlier models. A real headache when it comes to dealing with Toyota.
  • 2013 Chevrolet Cruze 2013 Cruze eco auto. love the car . able to get 40 plus mpg on highway all the time even with auto trans. decent pep for a small engine. 6 foot 2 inch driver all legs can fit in car with ease. comfortable to drive. The only complaint is the power steering is very sensitive . great car for the money. I would buy another Cruze
  • 2003 Mercedes-Benz C320 4MATIC I like this car a lot and like to learn things I can do to maintain my own vehicle. I have had my 03 c320 4matic wagon for 4 years now. I bought it with 80k on it and it now has 120k. The radiator has a defect that leaks coolant into the transmission cooler and causes the transmission to buck because of the water and glycol in the tranny fluid. Recommended fix is to get an after market radiator, not the brand originally in the car (Voleo) and flush the system. No problem. Bought online for about $100. Full synthetic Mobile 1 transmission fluid is at Autozone and approved for Mercedes so you don't have to pay for Mercedes brand fluid. I replaced the belt tensioner and belt on the side of the road at a cost of $130. Tensioner bought at Pep Boys and belt bought online as I anticipated needing it from the squealing sound. I also replaced both front control arms and sway bar links as well as the rear links. I love this car but you have to understand that every car has it's issues. I will be getting front strut bearings because of the creaking sound when I turn the wheel. There is a clicking sound from behind the dash that is an actuator arm for the climate control that is plastic and needs replaced. the whole dash has to be removed to replace it and in my case it controls my side of the defrost so the windshield on my side stays foggy for quite a while. The splash guards inside the front fenders have also been replaced as they came lose and got torn up by the tires. Silly problem you wouldn't expect from a high end German car. The SRS light came on and I read that it could be a seat belt or a connector under the seat. I also changed to ceramic EBC brand Red Stuff brake pads which work great and don't leave my front wheels black with break dust. The HID bulbs (H2) can be found online in sets of 2 for $50 - $100for the set. Don't spend a fortune on Mercedes branded bulbs. In the end I still love this car but thank God I'm handy. All of this would have cost a fortune at a garage. I won't buy another Mercedes with more than 50k on it so I can enjoy it more before so much stuff needs replaced. Read forums and learn about your car. That's how you find out the most economical way to fix a problem. I use mbpartswarehouse.com (drivewire) and rockauto.com a lot. Also a great salvage yard in AZ called tristar.com. Got my contol arms there. I hope this review helps someone.
  • 2004 BMW 330Ci I bought a 2004 330ci ZHP COUPE and LOVE this car. It is loaded with "M" stuff,(totally love the ALCANTARA M steering wheel),and it looks just like an "M" and runs like a "BAT"!! As far as repairs go "ZERO". I got it in Dec. 2005,2nd owner with 30K miles on it. In a nut shell it's been a great car and I will own another one and recommend them to others. As the sloagan says "THE ULTIMATE DRIVING EXPERIENCE",I'm a true believer.
  • 2002 Ford Explorer We brought a 02 explorer in Sept of 20012 with 56000 mile on it. It looks and run like it just came off the assembly line. No problems. I am married to motorhead that worked for Car quest parts for 15 years. He didn't say a thing about the prices for parts for this vehicle. Any other SUVs I couldn't get him to shut up..Mind you, we drove 81 chevy blazer that last 15 years so to us this luxury car. Currently the front windshield crack dont how but insurance is covering it. Getting ready to take it on its first road trip to Las Vegas in June. I know we will pleasant trip with car..
  • 2003 BMW 330Ci To many problems has cost me $7000.00 in repairs over last two years now faced with no brake lights,no seat warmers, and no horn or clock display one of the worst cars i ever own.
  • 1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme i need a price for a brand new computer on my car, they r chargeing 1500.00 for a new one, i just want the price on a new one
  • 2007 Volvo V70 Have owned this car for 3 years. It replaced same model V 70, 2001 after being hit by a drunk driver. Car has performed with excellence. Have followed prescribed routine maintenance and have a had very few issues with this particular car. It was a certified used car at the time of purchase from a Volvo dealer. The dealership has done most of the maintenance. It drives well, is comfortable for the average size person and its cargo capacity is very adequate. Sun roof is starting to rattle but works fine otherwise. I only mention that because the first Volvo V 70 2001 the sunroof shattered unexpectedly after I had brought a similar rattle sound to the dealers attention. I had an appointment to have it checked when it shattered after closing a door and tail gate at the same time. I am happy with my current Volvo and purchased it because I believe the 2001 Volvo saved my daughter’s life in the crash with the drunk driver. When I will replace my car it will be with another Volvo!
  • 2001 Mercedes-Benz E320 4MATIC super car 120k
  • 1997 Mercury Mountaineer We have had this vehicle for many years. Inherited it at 70k miles. we had 40 acres and it was the only vehicle that never got stuck. We used it to pull out the other rigs when the ground was to mushy, like a tractor and a big box truck and a f250 high boy. I dont know what they did to make the traction work so well but its absolutely amazing. has 197k miles now and still run great. It has always started, charged, heated, cooled, I would definately buy another one as I am impressed with every mile it works, oh towed our 23' cobalt regularly best thing to have at the boat launch!
  • 2007 Ford Freestyle neat car .want to know if there is an advantage to put on all whele drive shocks on front drive 2007 frstyle?.
  • 2005 Buick Rainier I have had this vehicle for 2 + yrs it had 101,592 miles on it when I first got stuck with it. Since then I had to have the valve cover gasket replaced ($378) (intake manifold also had to be replaced), at 103,692 miles the transmission failed, it had to be rebuilt ($3012.80)it was determined that when assembled by GM they assembled it was not aligned properly at factory, then the thermostst went out (cost $239), when thermostat went the gauge in instrument panel stoped working it had to be sent to location to be fixed. Since I've had this vehicle it has done nothing but fail. Iwill not buy or reommend a Buick to anyone!
  • 2007 Hyundai Elantra This has been the best car that I have ever owned. Other than routine maintenance, a battery, and occasionally bulbs for headlights, I have really had no problems with this car. I have had to replace tires twice, but that could have just been a bad set that I got the second time. I have only recently had to replace the front brake pads, and I have more than 105,000 miles on this car. It has never left me stranded, gets great gas mileage, and has required no more than normal maintenance. I highly recommend this car if you're in the market for a small car.
  • 2005 Jaguar XKR Purchased my used Jag XKR 3 yrs ago with 43k miles and driven it 6k miles.It came with the slightest little rattle in Left Rear.Been told it's in the Strut.Wondering if that could be the sound since nothing up shows with visual inspection.
  • 2010 Ford Escape 2010 Ford Escape...I have had this 2010 Escape back to the dealer 6 times for the same steering problem...Driving down the street and the power steering QUITS WORKING...you never know when it will work or when it will fail..This the most dangerous SUV ever put on the road by Ford!! If you go online you will find that is is not an uncommon problem, yet FORD has done nothing to recall these Escapes..I suppose it will take a dozen accidents or deaths to get the the federal government to step in and demand a recall & a fix!!
  • 2005 Kia Optima th1s car has prerformed well so far. I have about 110.000 miles on it, my wife was driving it the engine cut off and it wouldent start up again. After waiting about an hour I tried to start it again the engine turned as though it was draging and then the starter began to click.I thought that it needed a starter.The deaqler installed a starter it still wouldent start. Now they tell me that the engine is bad and it will cost $4000.00 to repair I cant believe it..
  • 1993 Mercedes-Benz 300CE I'm a proud owner of a 300CE and I love it! I recently purchased the car and the more I drive it, the more I become attached to it. For a 1993 it's in excellent condition and its still running great 19 years latter. When I drive this car I feel noticed by everyone with its black exterior and stunning looks it really is intimidating. Overall, The 1993 Mercedes-Benz 300CE is a very solid car that seeks to impress.
  • 2005 Toyota Prius Transmission Issues at 150K
  • 1998 Mercedes-Benz C230 I am enjoying this car as second owner. First owner drove 180000 miles than I took over few years ago. It has more than 260000 miles now but surprisingly it doesn't burn oil at all in between oil changes. I keep every 5000 miles use synthetic oil. I changed transmission fluid at 200000. Water Pump at 224000. Very recently Speedometer stock so I bought used one cost $ 80.00 so it shows only 115000 miles make me feeling good. Many people worry about maintenance but in my case. I was able to find these part from website source so most of time I could get parts less than other Import cars like Toyota, Honda.. I don't know how long I will keep this but engine, trans..main part remain strong, I probably try to go for at least 500000 miles. Mileage is also surprisingly accurate (23-30) I drove mostly highway so everage I could get 28-32 miles. I am loving this car
  • 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee i just got mine, its the best truck in the world...BUY one u willl love it!!!!!!!!
  • 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500SL have problem with transmission do not shift ,stay in fist
  • 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Bought my 2009 Jetta TDI used. 1 month afterward, the engine light came on (but it still ran). It was under warranty, so they systematically replaced just about everything that had to do with the fuel injection and filtration. I thought they finally got it fixed after $6,000 of repairwork and 4 visits in a year, but it only lasted 6 months. engine light came back on again! replaced exhaust pressure sensor and it was fine ($385). one month later engine light was back on and the muffler light. diagnostics says it is the exhaust temperature sensor now. Also, just got a letter from VW this week saying the exhaust flap on these cars are no good and if you need it rrepaired, they will cover it, Obviously, these cars have a problem with the entire exhaust system and should be recalled! Oh yeah, also had to have the air fixed. My car now has 85,000 miles. as a diesal, it should just be getting broken in. VW 's looked good, but buy another brand if you don't want to always be repairing!
