Dear Motor Medics, I have a 1994 Stealth RT without a turbo-charged engine. I have gone through two new batteries in a short period of time. Is it possible that a failing alternator can ruin a battery? If so I would like to know if there is a way to check if the alternator has failed.

Dear Motor Medics, I heard you guys on a recent show discussing vehicle warm-up times and heard you say it was not necessary to warm up a fuel-injected vehicle. I thought that all vehicles should be warmed up to get the oil flowing at least a little bit.

Dear Motor Medics,  I have what I think to be a very simple question but when I ask others I get as many different answers as the people I ask.

Dear Motor Medics,I’m having trouble listening to your car show. It’s not so much you guys but rather my car. If I listen at home or in my friend’s car, it’s loud and clear but I just can’t seem to get good reception on my vehicle radio.The truck has 160,000 miles and is a 2003 Chevy.

Dear Motor Medics, My Ford Explorer has been acting up ever since it froze to the ground. I parked it in deep slush last year and the next day I couldn’t get it to budge, it’s like it was bolted down.

Automotive advice from The Under the Hood® Show Dear Motor Medics,I have a 2017 Honda Civic that I have let it sit for a month and, when I tried to start it, the engine did start but once it fired every warning light you can think of came on. The message center also is giving error messages.

Dear Motor Medics, I get pulled over often by the police and although a lot of the time I either get no ticket or just a warning, I just don’t understand why they seem to target me. I drive a Honda Accord Sedan that’s silver so it’s not flashy and I rarely speed.
