Key Takeaways:

1. When choosing a crossover vehicle, consider models with full frames, such as the Tahoe, Expedition, or Durango, for better protection in deer collisions.
2. Perform regular tune-ups and clean the throttle body to address fuel economy and hesitation issues in older vehicles.
3. Resetting the vehicle's computer by disconnecting and reconnecting the battery cables can often resolve navigation system problems.
4. Replacing the plastic oil cooler/filter with an aluminum version can fix common oil leaks in Chrysler minivans.
5. Ethanol-blended fuels up to 15% (E15) are generally safe to use in newer vehicles, though they may result in slightly reduced fuel economy.
