Does anyone have spare parts to a Designer 22 Safety 1st car seat?
We have had one child already, and we took off all the straps and things to clean them, and we misplaced the safety latch hook that hooks the straps into the buckle in between the legs. We are trying to find if someone has a seat they no longer use or knows where I can get one. Our model number and our manufacture date from the side have both been worn off and since we have neither one, we can not order the pieces. Or if you can just e-mail me the model number and manufacture date, we can order the pieces ourselves. Thanks!

Used car safety law!?
Ok so i just bought a 2003 mitsubishi eclipse for a kia dealer ship. They said every thing was good with it and i had a 30 day warranty with the car. So the 3rd day after i bought it i took it to a Friend that has a shop to check it out and see if there was anything wrong with it. So after he got done he said that there was a blown strut and few other things wrong with it .

Used car sale..buyer wants repairs 9 months later??
Sold used car as is…buyer wants repairs
We sold a used car. The buyer did not take it for an inspection and had his attorney draw up an AS IS contract that was signed by all. We told him that all repairs and records were at "xyz" shop and gave him any paperwork that we could gather. It is now nine months later and he called to say that the XYZ shop told him about an issue with the car that occured while the car was ours but that we had decided not to repair it as it did not affect the driveability nor the safety of the car. My husband drove the car approx. 6 months after that and it was fine. He wants over 1,500 from us to repair it and claims he has a case based on fraud. Is this worth getting an attorney for?
Car sold as is.
No inspection
Nine months have passed
thanks for the replies…
he is claiming "fraud" stating that we didn’t tell him that it needed that repair. He only found out about it when after driving the car for 9 months he took it to the mechanic (which we gave him the full name number etc..because we had nothing to hide) and the mechanic said..oh …that was a problem before but the owner didn’t fix it because it wasn’t necessary. We in fact drove the car 6-7 months after that diagnosis with no problems. Case of fraud??????
oh…he was the one who brought the as is contract and claims he had it written up by his lawyer friend. The car was not over 7k dollars .

Does an airbag increase safety when used at the same time than a seat belt?
I always use a seat belt that in case of a collision won’t let me bump against the front of the car. In that case, what is the purpose of a frontal air bag?

I bought a used car, that was deceptively misrepresented? what can i do?
Bought a 2000 mazda millenia on mon that id checked out sat. Exhausted the guys parents who were showing the car to potential sellers with questions.Explained I was on a fixed social security income and single mom& wanted to make sure i wouldnt get stuck with something that needed repair or was unsafe.And assured me over and over it was safe in good working order& the only problem it had was that the used dealer didnt give their son the keyfob that automatically unlocks the doors or shuts off the alarm remotely.On monday before I exchaged the check for the title I grilled the son about the condition of the car and any defects it had, assured again that there were none.Next day i realize the horn wont work & the passenger door wont lock.Horn is a huge safety issue &alarm wont sound,so the door that wont unlock just invites a car jacking.Refused to talk until threatened w/court, then admitted they knew of problems but only will only pay half of 9.00 repairs!Take 1/2 or go to court?

Safety for breaking down on the highway?
My car broke down on the highway the other week. I pulled over to the side and put on my hazards. But what other safety tips can I use? Cars went by so fast and close that it shook my car every time.

What is the better used car?
We are looking at these 3 cars… 2004 Suzuki Forenza, 2001 Hyundai Tiburon, 2005 Kia Rio. What would be the best buy for reliablity and safety? This will be a car that our 18 year old daughter would mainly be driving.
I realize these aren’t the "best" cars, but are what we have found around where we live, with the lowest miles, in the price we can afford.

Car Recommendation? Safety, fuel efficiency for under $22K? (details)?
Thank you for your suggestions- I’m looking to trade in my gas guzzling SUV for something fuel efficient. Safety rating is also important, because we plan to give this car to our daughter in about 3 years. The SUV is paid off and worth about ,000. I’d love to find something that could be a one-for-one swap, but that might not be possible. I would prefer new to used, but am willing to consider used if the fuel and safety ratings are high enough. I am not partial to any particular maker, and I’ve already ruled out the hybrids- each one for different reasons.
This car will be used first for a cross-country trip, and after that, will put 10 hours of highway miles per *week*. Fuel efficiency and safety are very important!
Any suggestions for me to go look at? Thank you!

Can you reuse a car seat that has been used by another child?
My sister is pregnant and my friend wants to give my sister her babies old car seat that she no longer uses. Her daughter just grew out of it within the last 6 months. Just want to know for safety reasons, if it’s safe to use it when another child has already used it.

What tools should I buy for safety for my new (used) car?
I just bought a used Toyota Celica just to put miles on, and it came with no jack or tools, other then a small spare tire.
What tools should I buy that I can’t do without (in the trunk)?
Also, what’s the rule of thumb or how often should I bring it in for servicing, by miles?
Thanks!
