  • Why, oh why is this car STILL leaking oil?

    Back in April I took my car to garage (2005 Kia Sorento) to have an oil leak diagnosed. They changed gaskets and I paid $694.00 for this service. Two weeks later it starting dripping oil again, not a lot, just enough to notice on my driveway.

    Finally I took it again last week and the pvc valve was changed. When I got home my husband drove it one time and I had to have it towed because the radiator gushed liquid out......puddle under my car when I picked up from the pvc change. I believe they pulled the hose away from the radiator (though accidentially), I had to pay for the radiator fix.

    I've spent more than $600 this month and my dang car is still leaking oil. Two ?s

    1 - Shouldn't this be warranted? I've only driven 6,000 miles since April.

    2 - What else could it possibly be causing this car to leak oil? It seems since they changed the pvc valve that it leaks even more.

    PLEASE HELP!

  • Rugby Refs and Coaches what say you?

    Today, in state playoffs a fight broke out and the #1 seeds team had a player that ran onto the field with a taser gun after one of our players. The ref decided once both teams stopped fighting that the play should continue.

    I say the police should've been called and play stopped and forfeited by the offending team. I'm most sure that had roles been reversed that police would've been called, and, the game would've been called. How can that stand? Our team clearly dominated play the entire game, even with a ref hired by the #1 seeds coach that was CLEARLY biased. It seemed like they were playing "the good ole boys league". It was a pathetic display of behavior of the official and the coach.

    What would you do?

  • Who can tell me the answer to this insurance billing question?

    I've had severe stabbingg pains in my side tonight. I think it may be appendicitis. If they need to come out, would it be better to go to emergency room? My insurance pays a flat rate $150 for emergency room. If emergency surgery needed, which is usually the case, would I be billed separately for the surgery? Or, would the 150 cover that?

    Serious answers please. I don't have $5000 for surgery...which is my out of pocket.

  • A pulley that turns all the belts fell off my car this am.?

    I felt like something snapped under my car, then I lost power steering and my brake light and battery light came on. Brakes were'nt good either. Found out that a big bolt or something that holds it on was sheered off.......had my timing belt changed recently and everybody that I've talked to has said that the mechanics didn't "tork" it back on right...that's why it fell off, etc.

    I've taken this back once already because they didn't put the front cover back on right and my cam seal was leaking...they fixed that under warranty but then this just happened. My son said they didn't tork it back right. The pulley was just laying on top of a plate...that's all that kept it from falling out from under my car. It's a Kia Sorento.

    Does this sound like something that they should warrant?

  • Can anybody give me an educated guess to this Jeep/Wrangler 1994 clutch problem?

    I need to know whether this is worth fixing. My son came in today and it sounded like brakes do on metal when they're down to the knub......HOWEVER, the brakes are fine.

    When he presses the clutch in is when this sound is made. Anybody know what this is and how expensive it may be to repair?
