Dear Car Talk:I have a 2000 Honda CR-V with 90,000 miles on it. Out of the blue, the shifter won't slide into "D." When you pull the shift lever toward you and move it out of Park into "D," it stops in "N" and goes no further. However, once it's in "N," if I stop pulling the lever toward myself and just push it down, it will then drop into "D" and drive and shift normally. But no matter what I do, I can't get the shifter to go into the gears lower than "D." The fluid is good and clean. I'm stuck.

Dear Car Talk:My wife and I are driving a couple of well-used cars. One is a 17-year-old Infiniti G35, and the other is a 12-year-old Toyota Camry. We are considering purchasing a new car: a 2025 Camry. After doing some research, we discovered that all Camrys are now hybrids. I guess Toyota is doing that to comply with the EPA mileage and pollution rules. Anyway, we have never driven a hybrid or know anyone who has one, so we don't know what to expect.

Dear Car Talk:I have a 2019 Ford Escape. The engine has a timing chain. I grew up as a backyard mechanic with my dad teaching me, so I understand the basics of how an engine works. My car has just reached 100,000 miles, so I had all the fluids flushed and new plugs installed. The manual also calls for inspecting the timing chain. I looked online for estimates to get the chain inspected, and they ranged from $500 to $1,000.

Dear Car Talk:I have a question that's plagued me for decades. When I was in medical school in Buffalo, New York, I often drove to Long Island to visit my parents during school breaks. One Christmas break, I drove home in a HUGE snowstorm in my dad's Buick Regal (automatic). It took me more than 12 hours to get home. The amount of snow falling down from the sky was unbelievable.
