Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor, opens the hour with the story of a 2003 GMC Yukon that only acted up when it hit bumps in the road, proving once again that some of the toughest vehicle problems aren't found in a service manual. From there, Ron answers questions on coolant replacement for a 2011 Toyota RAV4, tracks down a troublesome shimmy on a 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser, discusses a Cadillac fuel injection concern from the email bag, and offers advice on bumper paint repairs for a 2003 Pontiac. The hour wraps up with questions about engine oil for a Honda Pilot and an email discussing the pros and cons of winter tires.

Whether it's an intermittent electrical problem, routine maintenance, or preparing your vehicle for changing seasons, Ron explains it all in a way every driver can understand.
