Shocks were replaced and there are no obvious loose parts, but the rear still feels vague over highway undulations. Happening around Central Jersey.
There is early surface rust on brackets, fasteners and seams underneath, but nothing structural. For a salt-belt car, what treatment slows it down without crea…
No vibration cruising, but braking from highway speed makes the steering wheel shake. Pads still have material. Is rotor thickness variation the usual culprit…
Temperature creeps up sitting still and drops once road speed gives it airflow. Fans appear to run, but I haven't checked actual commanded speed. Any good way…
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…
Looking for a sanity check. Car started pulling slightly right after a tire rotation. Alignment printout is technically in spec. Is it worth cross-rotating tir…
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…
The reservoir goes from full to low over several weeks. I'm in Westchester.
Noticed this on the car: there is a single clunk from the front over small potholes and driveway edges. Big smooth bumps don't reproduce it. End links look int…
Car is smooth around town, but on the highway I get a vibration in the steering wheel and seat between about 62 and 70 mph. Above that it actually gets a littl…
Noticed this on the Toyota: wireless CarPlay is reliable almost everywhere but disconnects at the same intersection on my commute. Does consistent location poi…
The vehicle has relatively few miles but the coolant is several years old. I am trying to prioritize maintenance by actual risk. Would you replace based on tim…

Noticed this on the car: a windshield was replaced and now there is a whistle around highway speed that did not exist before. Glass looks seated. Any simple wa…

I can feel a small click through the seat base in corners. Mounting bolts appear tight and power functions work. How do you isolate rail play versus the frame…
Looking for a sanity check. I am paying an independent shop to inspect a used car. Besides a scan and putting it on a lift, what should I ask them to check so…
The vehicle has relatively few miles but the coolant is several years old. I'm in Brooklyn.
There is a low hum that rises with road speed regardless of engine RPM. Happening around Raleigh.
Quick one about the car. I am considering a square wheel/tire setup so I can rotate tires and simplify track spares. Besides clearance, what handling changes s…
