Has anyone had any terrible recent experiences with a Jeep Grand Cherokee
and/or Chrysler quality?  I had a transmission problem at 8K miles and
basically was told by Chrysler that "it was covered by warranty. . .so what
are you complaining about."

Clearly, from my experience, Chrysler doesn’t seem to give a poop about the
customer.  Has anyone had any similar (or opposing) experiences?  I have a
friend who has a Eagle Vision TSi, and his rear-view mirror fell off (4K
miles).

Funny you should say that.  I had an 87 Excell 4door hatchback (yes, I admit
it, I owned a Hyundai – used even – poor college students do strange things)
that was in an accident.  I hit a telephone pole at ~40 mph after being forced
off the road by a clueless driver in a Buick (she didn’t even realize that
what she had done – another driver chased her down and stopped her).  The car
hit the pole with a glancing blow near the drivers side headlight and slid
along the pole  on the drivers side. The drivers side front wheel was
sheared off because it  was turned out at the time.   The strange part is
that this accident caused the car’s roof to buckle on the PASSENGERS side.
I’ve often wondered why.  Anybody else had a similar experience with
a Hyundai?

To the original poster:  Run away!! Run far far far away.  These cars are
some of the worst built cars on the planet.  Almost as bad as my 84 Chevy
Cavalier.   You would be better off buying a 1981-1984 Civic/Sentra/Tercel/
Mazda GLC (10-13years old) than *any* Hyundai that is not still under
warrantee

Heard over the weekend on CNN Headline News that all 94 RX-7′s are going to be
recalled. The problem is a defect in the cooling system which has resulted in
numerous engine fires.

        Not a flame, but is this acceleration you speak of a "subjective" type
of thing?  Do you not feel that you are coming off the line quickly.  The
reason I’m asking this, besides the fact that when I test drove the car, I
was happy with the power, is that most reviews I have read have listed 0-60
times of around 8 seconds with the 5spd.  I assume this is w/o the AC on.

I was wondering if fixing up your car hurts your engine?  Like getting a
different muffler which increases your horsepower, increasing your
exhaust pipes to make it quicker, taking off your catalytic converter,
getting a microchip (does that make your car faster?), getting headers,
and all that other stuff that makes your car faster…

All I know is that Nitris messes up your car’s engine.

Hi netters,

I would like to install a tachometer in my civic. There are many of
them in the market today. I saw one with LED display that I really
liked, however there are few questions in my mind :

  1) It is an Inductive Tach. (which doesn’t require any direct
     connection to the Ignition Coil, you only attach to any of the
     spark plugs wires). Is this type of connection accurate ? If
     not, then how much inaccuracy it is ?

  2) Is it hard to read LED display when the RPM constantly changes ?
     (Ex : from 2000 RPM to 4000 RPM)

Thanks in advance for any respond.

Regards,
