Q: Trouble changing gears from park to drive

Your car is equipped with cruise control – a system that allows you to set a specific speed for the car. Once it’s set, you can take your foot off the gas and the car will maintain that speed. This...

Hello, if the car is only overheating when it is not moving then it is usually caused by an air flow issue through the radiator. Most of the time, this is caused by an issue with the radiator fan not...

The cruise control computer requires inputs from many different systems to function properly. The throttle body sensors, fuel injectors, and throttle plate are all contributors to the cruise control computer readings. If a fault is present in any of these...

You may be having clutch slippage that is causing the RPM to flare up until it grabs. I recommend having a mechanic road test the vehicle to diagnose the slipping (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/gears-slipping-when-accelerating-inspection) and verify whether you are in need of a...

This problem is likely caused by a failing thermostat (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/thermostat-replacement). The thermostat is designed to restrict coolant flow to the radiator until the engine reaches designed working temperature (something close to 210 degrees Fahrenheit). Getting to working temperature faster is...

What you are describing sounds like a dirty or faulty mass air flow sensor. The mass air flow sensor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/mass-airflow-sensor-replacement) monitors air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the motor. This sensor relays vital...

There are no Technical Service Bulletins (NHTSA) covering this particular issue for your year, make and model and I do not see comparable complaints (http://www.safercar.gov) filed from other consumers. Consequently, the underlying fault will have to be diagnosed as an...

The circuit has to be restored to its original configuration particularly as you mention that a relay might have been removed. If you request an electrical circuit/component diagnostic (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/electrical-components-are-not-working-inspection) the responding certified mechanic will compare the wiring diagram in the...

There is a brake light switch on or near the pedal assembly. That switch could have been jarred in such a way that the switch contacts are stuck in the closed (lights always on) position. If that is what has...
