I found a video about the starter switch on a 2009 Hyundai Sonata that had similar issues. So I replaced the switch, and the new part feels much firmer than that last. I will see if it causes issues from here on.

The auto start has been happening for about a month. The shift noise is from a week ago. I don't see how this would work. Does the neutral safety switch disengage the starter?

I had a starter replaced on my 2009 Hyundai Sonata last year. Lately, a few things have been happening. 1. The car has been starting with the key in the ON position. Meaning I switch the key to ACC, then On, but don't turn the key to start it, and the car starts by itself. Either immediately...

I have no way of charging an EV at home or work currently. The nearest chargers per Google are at least 3 miles away. My apartment parking lot has a drive through it, so the cable would have to go across the parking lot, and out a 3rd story window. It would be easier to push for it at work, as...

2.1 miles each way 5 days a week. 0-150 miles on weekends, depending on plans and weather. In the winter it might be very little. Current vehicle will need brakes, front suspension, and tires soon. So I am looking for a replacement vehicle. $16K on an Impala or 300 or Volt wouldn't be much...

I have to cross under an interstate with two stop lights, and then about a half mile with 3 ft. of shoulder with a 10 ft. rock wall on the other side. Only about 1/4 of a mile has anything resembling a safe walking or biking lane. If I were to commute via a bike, it would have at least 75 hp. I...

I currently have a commute that is not compatible with a hybrid that starts the engine every time I want to drive and doesn't shut off until it warns up. It's a 2.1 mile drive with a max of 50 mph. Are there any hybrids or plugin hybrids that can be run in EV only mode for 5 days a week? I...

About $3K under "normal" pricing now. Drive would be about 1.5 hours.

This has been my thought. It would probably be worth the asking price at least as a trade in. One of the reasons I haven't gone to look at it.

Car will be bought outright. Text in the ad is "We can meet and see a notary saying that the title will be sent to you"

I'm in Kentucky found a vehicle about 90 miles away, but it's in Indiana, and the owner still owes money on it. I've dealt with bringing an out of state vehicle into Kentucky, but I've not dealt with a vehicle with money owed. How does this work? The current owner says a notary will signs...

I'm starting to shop for a used vehicle, and most of the ones I am looking for are at dealerships. I've heard that saying you are paying cash for a new vehicle is a bad thing, but not sure how it goes for used vehicles. Should I keep it quiet, or come out with it?

I have been looking at the LaCrosse, but it’s another $2k in my area.

No, I'm talking aftermarket 22-26s, some with a lift to make them fit.

I"m looking at 300s, but few and far between that aren't on dubs.
