Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor kicks off this hour talking about solving problems by research with a story from the shop this week. Ron recounts a 2022 Honda CRV Hybrid that needed trans fluid service. But the fluid choice went against conventional wisdom and past experience. A critical decision, use the wrong fluid and you will ruin the transmission. Ron and company keep their heads down, stay calm and research the problem searching for the answer.  He then talks about a 2013 Acura with a random driveability problem. He points out that the Acura has a bad Steering Angle Sensor, which is mounted on the Air Bag Clock Spring; both of which are now 11 yeas old and made of plastic. Its time to research, research, research.  Ron's first call this hour is with Rick from Nebraska. He has some concerns about the transmission on his 2020 Ford F150. The Car Doctor helps all of us to understand some basic transmission service do's and don'ts for longer transmission life and better operation.  The Car Doctor then welcomes first time guest Cherokee Hart of Mahwah Ford to discuss leasing versus buying when it comes to a vehicle purchase. Cherokee is the business manager, the last person in the process and walks us through what we can expect with great tips, guidance and suggestions. Ron closes out the hour talking about the perils of brake parts look up on some typical vehicles in the shop this week. Counting on AutoZone and their website catalog, Ron is able to complete it all.
