2004 Hyundai Sonata Front Brake Pads Worn Out Prematurely?

My question involves brakes. I have a 2004 Hyundai Sonata that had the brake pedal go to the floor recently while my wife was driving it. Sounds like a broken brake line, had it towed to a dealer, and I was told that it was not a brake line, but the pads on the right front were down to 3 percent no metal to metal yet and it needed a 4 wheel brake job no
rotors needed at a cost of $400 plus.

1999 Saturn Sc2 Coupe Engine Knocking Noise – Ran Out Of Oil

I have a 99 Saturn Sc2 Coupe. Ive had it for about a year and it has been running great but then I accidentally let it run low on oil and it started making a noise. I took it to get an oil change, they did everything, and the next week the engine started making a knocking noise. I took it back to the oil shop and they said it sounded like an internal problem with my engine. It only makes the quick knocking
sounds when I’m giving it gas. and more towards higher rpms.

1993 Ford F150 Idle Surges Too Slow When Engine is Hot

I have a 1993 F150 5.0 2WD Automatic Transmission Ford truck. I am exasperated with this problem and cannot figure out the problem. Idle is fine for awhile and then slows after engine warm.

2003 Honda Civic Used Car Buyers Guide

I am looking to buying a 2003 Honda Civic and the Carfax turns up that the car hasn’t had any reported maintenance at a Honda dealership since the time of purchase. Would you mind giving me a ballpark figure as to how much a 30k and 50k service would run me if I were to go and have them done? I am possibly going to use this as a bargaining tool. I tried looking on the Honda website, but it won’t give me anything but a place to log in.
