I seem to have a problem with my lovely little T reg Toyota Yaris. The car seems to keep losing a bit of it's power and slightly juddering, then the engine management light flashes for a little while. When the light goes out again, the car seems to function fine.

This has happened a couple of times today, and I'm wondering if anyone has had experience of this before. The light came on about a year or so ago, but when I took it the recommended garage & they plugged her into the reader, no faults were showing. They gave her a quick check over & found nothing obvious wrong & sent me on my way.

I'm hoping I don't need to take her in and it's something simple as last time the solid light was on & stayed on. This time it's just flashing a few times & going off for ages.... ]]> Kia Sara http://www.cardealercheck.com/forum/thread143889.html http://www.cardealercheck.com/forum/thread143887.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:58:07 GMT I live in Wis.Car has 30,000 miles.

We thought it was the plugs and wires and it seemed to improve a little. Now it's sluggish again.

It went into limp mode one day while driving down the road and can't figure out why. If the car is cold, the transmission will shift fine until it hit normal running temp and then it goes back to limp in mode. You can pull over and cut the car off for 3 mins and it will shift fine up to 3rd gear. I have changed the fluid and all of the speed sensors. Is there anything else I could try before I look into a new transmission? Thank you ]]> Kia rst_1401 http://www.cardealercheck.com/forum/thread143878.html http://www.cardealercheck.com/forum/thread143877.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:07:29 GMT the snow and ice? any and all information will be helpful. i currently own a 2004 rav 4 that is AWESOME in the snow. i DO know that the prius wont be as good, but need to know more before i go ahead with this. i have two kids and want to make sure i feel safe while in this car with them. ive heard alot about the TRAC system in the prius cutting power to the car in slippery conditions. need to know about snow tires, do they help...do you feel safe driving your prius in the new england winter weather? thanks :0) the snow and ice? any and all information will be helpful. i currently own a 2004 rav 4 that is AWESOME in the snow. i DO know that the prius wont be as good, but need to know more before i go ahead with this. i have two kids and want to make sure i feel safe while in this car with them. ive heard alot about the TRAC system in the prius cutting power to the car in slippery conditions. need to know about snow tires, do they help...do you feel safe driving your prius in the new england winter weather? thanks :0) ]]> Kia Caitlin http://www.cardealercheck.com/forum/thread143877.html http://www.cardealercheck.com/forum/thread143869.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:02:59 GMT Buick Park? I have a 1999 Buck Park Avenue, 3.8 L, V6, Base Model, the glass mirror has gone " cloudy " and is not clear anymore ( started to happen around 2 months ago ) .
The VIN # is : 1G4CW52K6X4645497
The color name is called Antelope Beige ( it's a Beige Color )
I was wondering if it's possible just to change the actual mirror part ?
I'm laid off from work and I am trying to fix this as cheap as possible, but I would like to keep the mirror the same color to match the car.

What about going to a glass repair place to have them replace the mirror ?

I DO NOT want a black mirror ?
Any suggestions / ideas as to where to go and get this ?
My zipcode is 17876, Shamokin Dam, PA
Any automotive junk-yards in this area ?

Thanks kindly !

When i shifted from 2H towards 4L on 4x4 it slipped and i was stuck in neutral. The lift might have messed up the angle, i was able to slip it back in. Would a suspension lift fix this problem? ]]> Kia dakid12 http://www.cardealercheck.com/forum/thread143866.html http://www.cardealercheck.com/forum/thread143865.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:58:55 GMT I have a 3" body lift on my 1999 4.0L 6 cyl. jeep wrangler automatic trans.

I test drove one earlier this year and loved how it drove and ran on the highway. It was smooth and accelerated perfectly, breaking was smooth also and I know its number 1 safety rated. So I am wondering why I see all these bad reviews about it what the hell am I missing are people just buying used and not making sure it runs right or just not taking care of it the way it should be. Even my manager has an older version and it runs perfectly he has never had any complaints. So what am I missing??
