    Loud squeak/squeal when turning

    Hey guys, A recent problem I've been dealing with is that after driving the car around a little while (maybe 6-7 miles or so), the suspension makes loud squeaks/squeals when turning or stopping. I also noticed that when I turn the vent on, it smells like power steering fluid. The mechanic...

    check engine light and stalling

    Hey guys, About a month ago my check engine light came on and stayed on. Went to AutoZone and they pulled the code and said that the left bank was running lean. They suggested some premium gas and some fuel injector cleaner, which didn't solve the problem. They then suggested the o2...

    Camshaft position sensor probs

    The check engine light came on the other day and I took it in to AutoZone to pull codes. It came up with 340 - Camshaft position sensor. So, today I replaced just the sensor, but the light is still on. Do I need to have them manually clear the codes (I had the battery off while I did the work...

    Tensioner replacement

    Lately my car has had a really loud whine coming from under the hood, so when it was in for inspection I asked the dealership about it. They said it was the tensioner bearings. They wanted $190 to fix it. Autozone has the part for $16. How hard would it be to replace this myself? Thanx...

    Car unusually loud, power steering pump?

    Hey, the other day I drove into work and all my coworkers were telling me how loud my car sounded. I don't really notice it from the inside unless I listen closely for it, but outside (or with the windows down in a parking deck) it has a whining sound. I can't really pinpoint where its coming...

    Recalls?

    I was checking out http://www.alldata.com/TSB/19/95191711.html and saw that there is a hood seperation recall. Does anyone know what this is about? It doesn't have anything to do with my 2nd hood latch not working does it? Any ideas on what would be messing up my latch or how to fix it? -Dubbs

    What's wrong? My car is falling apart!

    Ok, so a week ago, I'm heading back to college to leave for a trip and get about 25 miles away when the temp gauge goes up to H. I pulledver at the next exit, popped the hood, and saw that the engine did not feel hot and added a bit of water to the coolant reservoir, although I don't feel it...
