Dash range changes with temperature and driving, so I'm looking for a better way to judge battery health. What data do you trust—usable kWh, charging energy, s…
Inventory looks better but dealer quotes still vary a lot. I'm not looking to name-and-shame anyone—just trying to get a sense of whether people are seeing rea…
Looking for a sanity check. 2023 BMW M340i. About 32,500 miles on it. A former rental is cheaper than privately owned examples and has frequent service records…
Looking for a sanity check. 2024 Polestar 2. On road trips the car used to hold a higher charge rate longer. Now it starts tapering sooner even when the pack i…
Quick one about the CX-5. I just crossed 50k miles and want to log maintenance, unscheduled repairs, tire life, fuel economy, dealer visits, annoyances and whe…
The numbers are technically within limits, but a tall enclosed trailer gets pushed around more than expected. Before buying suspension parts, what would you ve…
Coolant temperature rises while sitting with the A/C on, then drops once the car is moving. It's at 101,000 miles.
I've started checking the dipstick every 500 miles and the level is definitely moving down between oil changes. No obvious puddles and I don't see smoke. At wh…
After sitting overnight, shifting from Park to Drive can take a second or two before the vehicle actually engages. Once warm it behaves normally. Would you sta…
There is a light buzz from the dash at one narrow RPM range. It disappears above and below that speed. Any good method for locating trim resonance without rand…
Coolant temperature rises while sitting with the A/C on, then drops once the car is moving. Coolant level looks correct. Fans run, but I do not know whether th…
I saw a recall announcement that includes my model year, but my VIN currently shows no open recall. Is that usually because only a subset is affected, or can V…
Note: A dealer offers to buy the leased car, but I do not know whether that is permitted. Detail: I am keeping notes so I can compare the result later. Questio…
News says my model year is involved, but the VIN lookup shows no open recall. Is that usually because only certain build ranges are affected, or can the databa…
Shocks were replaced and there are no obvious loose parts, but the rear still feels vague over highway undulations. What alignment, bushing, tire or installati…
Looking for a sanity check. Current car is worth less than the payoff and I need something different. Dealer says they can roll the difference into the new loa…
I was focused on tow rating until I started adding passengers, gear and tongue weight. Now payload looks like the real limit. How much buffer do you personally…
This started as a small annoyance and I finally decided to track it down. More basic vehicle functions now route through software and central displays. I like…
Noticed this on the Model S: the vehicle has relatively few miles but the coolant is several years old. I am trying to prioritize maintenance by actual risk. W…
The higher-mileage car has detailed records and consistent ownership; the lower-mileage example has sparse history. If both inspect well, how much weight do yo…
