Tom,
I own a 2007 Chrysler Town & Country and the corners of the hood just above the headlamps are rusting through the paint. The dealer says there is nothing they can do because the paint is under warranty for only 3 years. I have had the van for 3 years and 5 months and I just noticed it this week on my van. Is there a recall on this rust problem?

Dear Tom,
I own a ‘98 Honda Accord V6. Every time I get the oil changed, I’m told that an oversized drain plug is needed which is okay because it’s relatively inexpensive. But I’m also told that I should buy a new oil pan, but that costs about $350. Seems to me that there ought to be an easier fix than a new oil plan. Got any ideas?
