Go back and get your stuff back from the mechanic. If they refuse, call police. 2. If they don't refuse, mention this new problem + #4, otherwise you're going to have to take care of this on your own. 3. I'm not sure what this means. 4. See #2. | | | 04-18-2007, 04:59 AM | #5 | Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Arlington Texas Posts: 48 | Stereo 4. stereo doesn't work. what should i do next?[/QUOTE] Can you be more specific? The factory stereo has a security setting that requires a code be entered if the power is ever completely disconnected. If you've ever had the battery out, you'd have to reset the code. It should be written in the owner's manual but if you don't have it, most service writers at the local dealership will give you the code for free if you take it in to prove you haven't stolen the stereo. If you have an aftermarket stereo or a problem unrelated to a code issue, I'm without advice on that topic. I hope I helped though | | | 04-18-2007, 05:38 AM | #6 | Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: NY Long Island Posts: 35 | Thank you so much I am sorry that I didn't explain my problem clearly. So I repeat here. 1. I bought the car from seller, then send to mechanics, I didn't check it carefully, but I think the backup tire was missing from the seller. 2. Same as 1, mechanics just fix something on brakes, arms. I found it by myself 3. The thing that spring water to my front window. 4. It is a kenwood stereo, which was installed by some owner before. Many thanks to you again | | | 04-19-2007, 05:10 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Pittsburgh, PA Posts: 1,224 | Quote: Originally Posted by dakefeng Thank you so much I am sorry that I didn't explain my problem clearly.

Many thanks to you again | Have you called the seller to ask about the missing tire and non working stereo? Also, ask about the mirror - was it working before, has it had problems in the past? As for the windshield washer squirter, when you push your stalk, do you hear the impeller running? Does water just leak out of the thing or none squirts at all? It seems like you haven't looked too much at this car, does it even have any washer fluid or water in the reservoir? | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
