Dear Tom,
I own a 2005 Toyota Corolla with 42,000 miles and the trouble light keeps coming on. I have taken the vehicle to my shop several times. Each time I am told to ignore the light because the car is running fine. Should I take the car elsewhere to be evaluated?

Dear Tom,
My ’06 Dodge Grand Caravan calls for a tire size of P22560R16. I got a deal on four tires with a size of P22570R16 and the van rides great on these new tires. Can you tell me how the change in tire size affects the speedometer? How do I figure out the actual speed I am traveling?

Dear Tom,
I own a 2004 Mini Cooper and the driver’s side window doesn’t work. When the window switch is depressed, I hear a mild humming/winding sound that still keeps going even after I release the switch. It will only stop if I turn the ignition key off. I have banged on the door and depressed the switch, but the window will not move. Does it need another window motor?

Dear Tom,
I own a 2005 Chevy Tahoe. When I shut the engine off the coolant runs out of the truck. I have to replace the engine coolant regularly (3 to 4 times/week)! This doesn’t happen all the time. I took the vehicle to be tested and they put about 15 pounds of air pressure in it and found no leaks. What could be causing this problem?
