  • What to do when the washer fluid goes astray?

     Dear Tom and Ray: My aunt called me the other day and said she had trouble trying to find the place where you put more windshield-washer fluid. She told me the only cover she found was one that said "Coolant." You guessed it -- she put the windshield-washer fluid in the coolant reservoir. She then told me that she used a bottle of Windex instead of the diluted blue stuff you buy for car windshields. What should I do to help her, and what possible damage did she do? -- Adam

  • Tom and Ray help Kara with an interesting business proposition.

     Dear Tom and Ray: I am interested in purchasing a vintage/classic ice-cream truck such as the Divco for a new, gourmet-ice-cream truck venture. I have found rusted, inoperable trucks for 2,000 dollars and restored trucks for as much as 25,000 dollars. My first question is, Is this a reasonable truck to actually put back into service, and at what price? My second question is if you have a better recommendation for a "cool" commercial vehicle. Or just tell me I'm crazy, like my mother, brother and husband do, and maybe -- maybe -- I'll let this business idea go back into the file. -- Kara

  • Why do manufacturers still use drum brakes? Find out.

     Dear Tom and Ray: All of the cheapest cars these days seem to have drum brakes on the rear instead of disc brakes. But drum brakes have more parts than disc brakes, and are much harder to assemble (I know from experience). You'd think that would add assembly-line costs and that it would be cheaper to put the better disc brakes on the cheapo econo-cars. What's up with that, guys? What am I not understanding? -- Barnaby

  • Today: why Rachel's dad should be allowed to drive his cars hard.

     Dear Tom and Ray: Could you please settle an ongoing discussion that my family has had for years? On one side is my mother, my six sisters and me (that is not a typo; I really am one of seven girls. The baby is now 19, and we all are licensed drivers). On the other side is my father. You would think that after 40 years of being more and more severely outnumbered, he would've learned to just nod and go along with what we say like a good boy, but on this one point, he has proven himself to be ridiculously stubborn. There are very few things my mother, my sisters and I agree on, but one of them is this: None of us likes Dad to drive our car because, in our collective opinion, he is too rough on a car. He waits until the last possible nanosecond to stop at a red light, but pulls away from a green light like the devil himself is on his tail. He weaves in and out of traffic like he's forever in a hurry. Furthermore, he seems to never hear the little odd noises that any vehicle makes to tell you that something might be amiss, and then wonders why his vehicles are forever breaking down. In fact, he just lost the transmission in his F-150 and swears that it just "went." But I'd swear that it was making weird grinding noises weeks before he had to park it permanently in the driveway. Here's the kicker: My father SWEARS that the way one drives has no bearing whatsoever on how long a car lasts. We, the Female Collective of our family, not only think he's dead wrong, we think he's nuts. Could you please impress upon my dad that he kills cars with the way he drives and that we are justified in being reluctant to let him borrow ours when he, yet again, runs whatever he's driving into the ground? Thanks. -- Rachel

  • Is there any hope for Mark's failing Sienna van?

     Dear Tom and Ray: The transaxle differential bearing on my '98 Toyota Sienna van is growling like a cat in the vet's office. This has been going on for about 5,000 miles now. Lately it has become more intense -- just like the cat does when the vet starts messing with his private parts. So far, we've dealt with it by turning up the volume on the radio. When it finally breaks, what will happen? Are we looking at a crash and burn -- or will I be able to drive it home? Any predictor of how long I have? Money is tight -- the longer I can prolong the repair or replacement, the better. -- Mark

  • Eileen gets a nasty air bag surprise.

     Dear Tom and Ray: I hope you can help me. My rear passenger side air bag deployed, along with the passenger side mid bag and the window shield. There was no impact. I was moving at 35-40 mph on a smooth road with no potholes. I took the car to the dealer to get the problem fixed. They said it was not their problem and that I must have hit something. They saw a mark on the wheel and said I set off the bag when I hit a curb. OK ... so I hit a curb, but it was two weeks before the bag exploded. I don't think air bags have that kind of delayed reaction. So the question is, Where do I go to get the dealer to do the right thing? What federal or state agency should I report this to? My insurance company knows about it, and is trying to help. However, I want to be sure the dealer fixes what it should fix. What do I do to hold their feet to the fire? Please help me. -- Eileen P.S.: It is a Mercedes E350, and I have found another case just like this online.

  • Today: does revving an engine cause damage?

     Dear Tom and Ray: My wife and I live out in Southern California and have some ... well, to be polite, interesting neighbors in our condo complex. One couple in particular is very proud of the Porsche 911 Carrera they're leasing. The car probably is a 2007 (about a year older than the woman's face ... the rest of her is a 1950-something). Whenever they start up this car, or before they turn it off, they make sure that they rev the engine loudly, in case we all forgot that they have a Porsche. My question is this: Can revving the engine while the car is not moving damage anything? -- Chris

  • Does Bill's Subaru really need a new timing belt?

     Dear Tom and Ray: A few months ago, our local Subaru dealership determined that our Impreza needed a new engine, and that it would be covered by the factory warranty. Since the engine was replaced, we've put 7,000 more miles on the car. Now they say we need a timing belt. My question is, When the engine was replaced, wouldn't they have replaced the timing belt then? -- Bill
