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 misleading or wrong pieces of advice or quotes given to automobile customers. Also on this show:

  • Why parts for certain vehicles can vary greatly in price depending on the country where the car was made.
  • The importance of finding a second opinion when a technician tells you a problem you’re noticing is “normal.”
  • 2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe: While driving in rush hour, I’ve noticed my brakes starting to feel very touchy. Is this an issue with my brake pads?
  • 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe: All 4 wheels on my Tahoe have locked up. Have you seen this issue before? Is this a brake problem?
  • Hyundai: My tech recently replaced my starter but the problem was actually with my fuel pump. How can I avoid spending money for unnecessary repairs in the future?
  • 2002 Chevrolet HHR: I had my brakes done around a year ago. Ever since then I’ve had a problem getting my key out while in park. Is this a problem with my steering column?

Cars talked about on this show are the 2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe, 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe, Hyundai, and the 2002 Chevrolet HHR.
