Does My Subaru Have a Blown Head Gasket?
I have a 2000 Subaru, in July 2008 I had the head gaskets redone, now less then one year later my car overheated and the mechanic put in a new radiator but it is still over heating, so he now says I need to pay another $2,000 and get the head gaskets done again, Can this be right?

Should I Flush Out The Automatic Transmission Fluid In My Car?
My question is whether I should change the transmission filter/fluid. I've read your post on warning others of changing tranny fluid in high mileage vehicles that have not been maintained, but perhaps you can tell me if my case is different.

Toyota Camry Overheating - Do I Have a Blown Head Gasket?
I have a 1994 Toyota Camry that started overheating about a week after I bought it. It only does this at idle speeds. I had a pressure system check done, a new thermostat put in, and a new cooling fan installed. It stopped overheating for a couple of weeks, but then started doing it again.

Help - I Need To Buy a New Car
According to my records, every year I have taken the car into the shop for repair work everything from a broken cassette deck, twice actually, to a broken water pump, new muffler and resonator, new heater core, new struts, shocks, new wheel bearing, new tie rod and CV joint, new timing belt, new spark plugs and wires, two new ignition coils, master cylinder work, etc. etc. etc. Is this normal maintenance on a car or does this sound a bit excessive to you? This is my question.

1996 Chevy Camaro - Blown Head Gasket or EGR Problem?
About two months ago the check engine light on my 1996 3.8L V6 Chevy Camaro came on. I went to an auto parts store where they read the code and told me I needed a new EGR valve because mine was only function at 10% of what it should be. Well, my mechanic disagreed, saying the EGR valve should not go bad after only 90,000 miles.

1997 Lexus SC400 Electrical Problems
My question concerns the 97 Lexus SC400 listed below. The functions, controls and display lights stopped working on the climate control unit in the dash above the stereo. It looks like it is simply a blown fuse, but I have checked them as far and as much as I could figure out how and which ones to check.

Blown Head Gasket Symptoms
I usually get my oil changed at Jiffy Lube because they are convenient and I can't crawl under my car and change my oil like I used to. I got it changed there a few months ago and shortly thereafter my car started to overheat and the heater stopped working. If I revved the engine really high it would cool off and if I was idling the engine would get really hot but the heater still blew cold air this was in February in Utah.

Noise In The Front of My Car When Braking
I am a relatively new driver and I recently had a new power steering rack put into my car. Since then, I have noticed a clunking sound on the front left hand side of the car when I brake. It doesn't happen all the time, mostly when I have to brake suddenly or when I am braking & turning or going in/out of driveways and over speed bumps.
