Dear Tom,
I own a 2005 Nissan Altima and I frequently smell burning oil. I check the oil to make sure I always have oil in the engine and add as needed. What could cause this?

Often when something happens to your car, and you don’t have an extended auto warranty so you can just go ahead and have it fixed, you need to check the car’s manual.
Owner’s manuals contain a lot of important information and directions about your particular vehicle.
Problem is, lots of times car owners can’t find the manual – it has either been lost, or didn’t come with a used car purchase.
You can buy a car manual from the dealership or car manufacturer, but you can often find them online for free. Here’s a list of links for most car manuals available online.
If you want to order a paper copy of the manual, you can do so through the site or your dealer. Read more...

Dear Tom,
I own an ‘04 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 warranted for three years. I had the van for three years as of this past April. Is there a recall on this rust problem? I have seen this occur on 2000-03 vans and just noticed it this week on my van.

Dear Tom,
I own a ‘99 Dodge Ram 1500 4×2, 5.9L V8 with 97,000 miles. If the truck sits for more than a week, then the transmission does not engage for a few minutes after I start the vehicle. If I start it and wait a couple of minutes, then it’s fine. There is no problem if I drive the vehicle everyday. What’s wrong?
