I noticed that sometimes when I take off my seatbelt a little early when I drive into the parking lot at work or drive into my in the parking lot at work, the seatbelt beep. I get it. It's a warning that you should be wearing your seatbelt. No problem with that. I'm just wondering why it's inconsistent. Sometimes it beeps, sometimes it doesn't.
View 4 RepliesCamry :: Restarted Car Three Times To Shift Out Of Park
Two times today I had my shifter stick in park. I hopped in the car to go get my kid and everything was fine. I got to the house to pick him up, turned off the car and went to the door and then came back, hopped in the car and turned it on. Went to shift it out of park and it would start to move to the right a little but wouldn't budge out of park. I checked to make sure everything was OK and couldn't get it out of park. I turned the car off and turned it back on and it came right out of park, no problems at all.
We stopped by Sonic to get some food, leaving the car running, and when it was time to leave the car shifted out of park no problem. Made one more stop by the grocery store, leaving him in the car with the car running like at the previous stop, this time when I got back in the car it wouldn't shift out of park again. I stopped and restarted the car about three time, like what had worked before, and finally after about the third time I got it out of park.

So i was trying to adjust my freinds shift linkage on his o2j and i got a little ahead of myself and forgot to put the shift tower in the home position before making the adjustment. after i realized you can't shift into second ( either that or 2nd and 4th are extremely close together now and feel like the same gear ). I try to get it in home position even with the cables off ( did this for experimentation) and still wouldn't go into home position...meh. still have all the other gears including reverse .

View 2 RepliesPrius (Gen 3) :: Wide Wear And Shallower Bars After Rotating OEM
I just rotated the OEM Ecopia tires at near 40,000 miles. They still have some life left (5000-10,000 miles). I noticed that there are wide wear bars and I'm 1-2 mm from reaching those, but there are also other narrower and shallower bars. Is this wet or snow type of indicator?
There are arrowheads next to the real wear bars and not next to the smaller ones, so they are not really wear bars.
Camry 2012+ :: Range Of Keyless Entry Is Not Wide
Is it just me or is the range of the keyless entry on the Camry really really bad. I almost have to be right on top of the car for it to work. I have a g6 (2009)and a Civic (2000) that also has keyless entry on it and I think both of them have more range than the Camry.

View 14 RepliesPrius (Gen 3) :: Metallic Flakes In Engine Oil After Wide Open Throttle
I've been using full synthetic 0W-20 oil since it was new(2010 Prius. It is an early build). Last time I had an oil change was about a year and a half ago, oil has 8,000 miles on it. I ran the car hard today at wide open throttle around town. Never driven this way for the past 68,000 miles/5 years. All fluid levels are normal. When I went to check the oil dipstick after running the car at WOT a few times, I noticed a few flakes on the dip stick. Nothing big, just a 1-2 flakes very small flakes every time I reinsert the dip stick. Flakes are about the size of a single dust particle. It's 86 degrees out, which supposedly 0W-20 should protect the engine.

I have a 2002 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport. There is a slight rubbing noise when I make wide turns and I suspect it is the wheel bearings. How much should it cost to replace these, and how thin is the ice I am skating on if I put it off?
View 4 RepliesSuzuki - Forenza :: Hissing Sound On Wide / Sharp U Turns
Not quite a U turn but more like 3 point turn without the backing up, for a wide/sharp U turn to go full circle, turning the steering wheel to the max. It's typically a left turn in this case as seldom turn wide & around the other way.
Doesn't happen all the time, might depend on the road surface (level or not, etc.) but when it happens, I hear a faint hissing sound like air leaking or running water in a pipe. What might this indicate? I don't suppose it's normal?

2003 F150 Super Crew 5.4
When I turn off the ignition, the drivers door lock unlocks or pushes the arm through the door for up to 30-60 seconds over and over again. I would say like 10 times and it is annoying as hell.
Is the only part in the door that controls this the actuator or is there something else that can be doing this?
