Dear Tom,
I own a ‘07 Honda Accord, Hybrid. I’m very pleased with the overall performance of the car, but I am disappointed with poor gas mileage in colder weather. I’m maintaining proper tire pressure. I assume it has something to do with dense air. Can you give me some guidance?

Dear Tom,
I own a ‘01 Dodge Stratus. It’s difficult to turn the steering wheel when it’s cold outside until the engine is fully warmed up. It squeaks as the wheel turns and it feels like the belt is resisting my efforts. The power steering fluid was completely drained and replaced to no avail. What should I do?

Dear Tom,
I own a 2004 Chevy Silverado extended cab pickup and the battery won’t keep a charge. I had it checked and charged twice this week and it did not start the following day. The shop said there was nothing wrong with the battery. I am selling the truck so I don’t want to spend a lot of money. I’m wondering if it would be all right to put in a rebuilt battery and let the person that buys it deal with the underlying problem.
