I have spent over $2000 trying to get my engine light to turn off. nothing works. now i am being fined for not passing inspection. what is going on? i have been having this problem for 2 years. after various repairs the light would finally go off. now it will not and has been on for over 6 months. i have had o2 sensor and cat sensor replaced, since that is supposedly what the code was. still nothing and noone seems to care.*ak | |||

I purchased a car in april 2001 (a used car) and have an extended warranty for it. car started giving me problems in 2002 so i decided to use my extended warranty to get the car fixed once it broke down on me on the highway; i found out that the warranty company never heard of me and that my warranty never existed. the place that i brought the car from went out of business because of fraudulent activities, but they did have one other car place that was still operating, so i called that place and explain the problem to them. they assured me that they would take care of me. they tried twice too fix the problem and supposedly fixed the problem, the car is still the same way it was when i brought it to them. they are giving me the run around. my extended warranty is suppose to last 60 months or 100,000 meters which ever comes first. i used my car daily because i have small children and it seems like the company still wont honor the fake warranty that i have that was given by them. my transmission on the car is worse than before. the company is dick gidron ford/cadillac. they were all over the news for fraud. please help. *la | |||

1998 mazda 626 lx 2.0l 4cylinder engine. returning back to the guest house after dropping a friend off at the airport that evening, after getting off the interstate, i heard a crack (followed by a grinding noise) from the passenger's side of the engine. within moments as i slowed the car to a safe spot, i heard a whipping noise from the same region. that later happened to be the serpentine and alternator belts both broke just after exiting the interstate, the engine and battery lights came on at once.., and then, immediately after that, the engine stopped working. i called my insurance and had my car towed to the guest house. the car was looked at and the diagnoses were the gears in the water pump were broken which froze the alternator belt, the alternator belt-now stiffened- shredded and mangled the serpentine belt. then the serpentine belt tore along the grooved lines. plus, the engine is now leaking coolant. repairs???? i am waiting for the estimate to come in. i have been warned that it would not be cheap to fix. $500-$700 i asked? nope! he said, after letting out a chuckle..., much higher he replied. at least $1000 or more. *tr | |||
