Bumper to Bumper Radio, the car guys on KTAR, 92.3 FM in Phoenix, AZ, broadcast every Saturday from 11:00 am to noon. On this show, Dave Riccio of Tri-City Transmission in Tempe, AZ talks about intermittent or small glitches with your car that can be easily corrected or put off for certain amounts of time.

• Different types of noises and glitches that may be happening in your vehicle.
• How to decide whether or not a small costly repair is necessary.
• What causes the creaking noises in your car during the colder weather?
• 2008 Ford Mustang GT: My car will stop accelerating after certain amounts of time. My shop says only the dealer can reset the issue since it’s a computer issue. Is this true?
• 1990 Hummer H1: Whenever I try to start this vehicle I notice white smoke coming from the exhaust, but it will not run. Is there water in the line?
• 2012 Ford Transit Connect: I’ve been noticing a grinding sound while braking. After replacing the pads and rotors, the problem came back after a week or so. Is there something else causing this?
• 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis: While trying to start this car, I only hear clicks. We’ve replaced the started and the battery but the problem keeps coming back. What else may be causing this issue?
• 1998 Acura 3.2: Within the last 2 weeks my check engine light came on. I was quoted 1k for a new EGR valve. The light came back on almost immediately after the repair. What do you think this might be?
• 2015 Jeep Wrangler: My tire pressure light stays on consistently. After completely replacing the wheels the light is still on. Is this a sensor issue?
• 1997 Thunderbird: My car is eating oil at an increasing rate. What should I look into having fixed first?
