If it is not a remote problem, you might check and see if it is a chip in the key. Some models have them and you need a new key if the remote is not the problem. Dealer item only...

Not a good idea to get the wrong one, even worse to use the wrong one. Are you referring to the thread on part connected to the engine or to the oil filter itself ?...

When in doubt....google it.....

Hi mahmood,

The correct capacity is 8qts. 5w30 synthetic oil.

Sounds like its missing on one cylinder. Could be a failed plug or a blocked injector, or something more serious.

Call your dealer, who will likely suggest that you bring or more likely tow the car to them.

The dealer can scan the ECU for a fault code which will point to an accurate diagnosis.

simple, but you will need to reset the vehicles computer! if you have to insert a code to reprogram your radio, make sure you have the code handy, look for code in glove box panel, if needed, or if not, just disconnect the positive cable of your battery for 10mins. this will reset the computer and make the light go off.if your light comes back on, you have further issues. before you do this!!please just check your oil level to make sure the computer is telling you that your oil level is low!!thank you for choosing fixya.com!!

That is what it is supposed to do the car goes faster? Well thats the kick down working, in other words the gearbox is shifting down so you can over take traffic.

ethenol is an issue but these cars are known to shake a little when started, also make sure your battery is fully charged, if so there is software that can be updated to the car

you could try one of those aligator sockets that sears sells they are suppose to be a universal fit and have a bunch of spring loaded pins inside to fit to the shape of what you need, it might be able to grip in your keyed slot.

?????.......is this a complaint post ?????

possible the starter solenoid is faulty. may have to replace the starter motor.

Hello Rob.

Is the check engine light on?
There must be a sensor not reading correctly.
You will likely need to have it hooked up to a scanner capable of reading the data from the various sensors to find out which one is causing the hesitation.
Mass airflow, throttle position and accelerator pedal position are the first ones I would be suspicious of. While there could be other sensors involved these affect fuel/air ratio control more than others.

Cars have become essentially computer controlled with inputs from the driver and difficult to diagnose without the proper equipment.
This situation will be very difficult to assist you without this information.
I would like to have had a more definitive answer for you.
Thank you for using FixYa.

Wow, this is an unusual problem. What year? Factory wheels or aftermarket? Tire size? Are the tires losing air pressure so that the rims are 'slashing the tires?' Are the rims cutting through the side walls of the tires? How many or the tires did this happen to and how many times??
