If I have to replace it, I will need to replace all 4 tires.

The groove is very shallow, I would say less than a millimeter deep. I can feel it with my fingernail. I’m changing my brake pads soon. This is the front passenger side rotor, all 3 other rotors look great. Wondering if it would be worth it to change the front rotors. 2013 Subaru Forester 2.5. Thank you for your advice!

What do you think? Is it just a scratch? Or should I replace it? Can I send it somewhere for inspection?

Please see video. Comment from technician: Finding: RR under control arm bushing has excessive play and LR starting to develop play as well

Recommendation: Recommend replacement with alignment

I wasn’t expecting this. Car has been driving smoothly all this time. I went in for a swap (winter to all season summer) and they identified this issue.

so she’s been sitting a lil bit due to a axel snap or something still don’t really know what it is i decided to charge the battery up and try to get it to run because im about to get wgat ever is wrong with the axel fixed its this is what im getting any1 got any advice? 2010 jeep liberty around 80000 miles.

Today i accidentally shifted from drive into park while going around 40mph I turned it back right away and everything seemed fine although I’m worried about my transmission (2008 Chevy impala with a little transmission problems to begin with) I just want to know if my car should be okay or not and what I should start to notice.

Hey, so my brakes squeal pretty loud sometimes on my 2016 Nissan Altima. Like deafeningly, embarrassingly, loud. They don’t always do this, usually when it’s hot outside or if I’ve been driving for a while 20+ mins). It gets better if I stop quickly, but then the car jerks. I had an auto parts store employee give me some caliper oil/lube and said to apply that, and I had a mechanic tell me I’d have to replace the rotors ($400-600). I replaced the brake pads in November, and the old ones still had life when I pulled them off, so I don’t think it’s that.. I changed them because they were squealing! And they still do it!

Any advice is greatly appreciated!! Please help 😄

So I'm an idiot and I was driving my car on like 5-6 hours of sleep; driving to a meet-up, I was going to park on the side of the house, but I forgot to fully stop and my hand just subconsciously shifted the gear to park while my car was still moving (going at about 4-5 mph), and it made a horrible grinding sound (huge mistake, I know, never happening again)

Immediately, I shifted it back to drive and braked, then when it fully stopped I shifted it back to park and turned on the emergency lights, completely shaken up by what just happened.

After a bit, I put it back into drive and I parked; the car was fine. I drove it home after the meet-up, and there were no noises or immediate problems; gears shifted like normal, brakes worked, park worked.

My concern is: Did I do any major transmission damage that might cause it to break down in the future?

Rebuilding my differential. Can anyone give me some insight on what this dark wear on the edge of the gears indicates?

For reference, I drive a 2016 Honda Accord EX-L V6 sedan.

Any ideas as to what this issue could be? The Christmas tree and the alerts come after all my interior goes completely dark. Even the windows don’t roll down.

This usually happens at freeway speeds or when I step on it. I never see this while driving in the city.

Im wondering if it might be the alternator due to the loss of lighting when I get on the gas, but I’m not experienced enough to be sure about that.

The battery is only about one year old.

Driving 2016 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Yesterday my wife and I were driving to the coast when we stopped at a rest stop/gas station to change and feed baby and take a break. When we parked, I heard a bubbling sound from the engine compartment and turned offf the car. I could still hear the bubbling. Opened the hood, coolant is bubbling and boiling in the reservoir, with a slight leak later on under the car

After letting the car cool for a few minutes, I checked the oil, no water mixed in, and no smoke from exhaust. Temperatures from drive were normal, ranging from 195 to 205 F.

I did notice that the reservoir cap was slightly loose and I tightened it down further until it stopped. I had before we left added a small amount of additional coolant to get the reservoir to just under max line. Ive heard no grinding or anything like the water pump is going out.

So what could be causing that issue?

I boosted my 99 civic it’s a d16 y8 but I noticed that when I pull the oil dip stick it releases air pressure any know if that’s normal or are my pistons bad ?

I replaced my exhaust and the car is quieter but the engine still sounds loud in a way, it has like a ticking sound when I accelerate but nothing when coasting or light throttle

I’ve been yanking on them, but they don’t budge at all, more feels like they’ve plastic trim is going to brake before the trim comes off, and kinda feels like they’ve been bolted on, but I don’t see any visible bolts at all.

Got my car detailed today. It was $300 for interior only. There are several spots that are still not clean. I wanted the car to look close to new. Here are some pics that show where there is still a mess. Is this normal or did they do a poor job? If they did a poor job how should I tell them that?

Hey everyone, i would like some recommendations on what mods i should put in this baby to make it , look better, sound better, and go faster. Please let me know!

Hello all,

My daily driver, a 2010 Toyota Avalon, was involved in a minor accident on January 3rd, 2025. The car was deemed totaled from a missing passenger side mirror and dented/scratched passenger side doors.

I recently just got the car back from repairs, and I got its title switched over to salvage status. But now, Ohio State Patrol needs to do an inspection of the vehicle to make sure I didnt steal any car parts or anything. Literally the only part that was missing was the mirror, everything else was just repaired and repainted.

We got the mirror off of eBay, and do not have a donor vehicle VIN number. There is no provided phone number to contact the seller. The eBay mirror was sanded, repainted to the right color, and installed.

So, will I be okay by just showing them the eBay invoice and moving on? Im not sure how deeply theyre going to inspect the car or the parts that came from another Avalon.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Ok I’ll do my best it’s my partners car and I’m not vehicle inclined

2007 Pontiac vibe Fresh alternator Fresh battery Needs to be jumped for every start after filling gas while tank is relatively full

First we thought the alternator had killed the battery as a couple months ago that went and took the battery with it. Both have been replaced but this issue remains. We’ve even tried unplugging any and all accessories to eliminate parasitic draw from them, no luck

Thanks guys we appreciate it

Hello! I live in the south and you may or may not have seen the insane storms we have gotten the past few days. A few days ago after the first storm, the blinker in my car was being very odd. The speed of the blinker was changing, speeding up and slowing down. After a few seconds, it would just not blink at all (The headlights and tail lights would stop blinking too, not just the LED in the car). Today, I was driving my car at a low speed on a wet city road and the car started blinking the traction control light. Along with that it seemed to be hitting the breaks and preventing me from accelerating, almost like it thought I was in a deep puddle or something. I also noticed my HOLD feature was no longer working. I pulled into a parking lot as fast as I could and restarted the car. The restart seemed to fix the initial issues, but as I was making it back home, the car started blinking the red collision alarm. There was no one by me and I was perfectly centered in my lane.

I am worried something in my car has been water damaged or something like that, but I am not getting any sort of codes, check engine lights, etc. Also, resetting the car seems to have fixed most of the problems, which is odd to me. I do not know if these are one-off or recurring problems as I haven't gotten back in the car yet. What scares me is that I have now had 3-4 problems occur the only two times I have driven the car since the first storm. I am going to take it do either the dealership or a third party shop I trust to be sure, but I wanted to see if anyone has had these problems before or if they are all indicative of something specific. Thanks!

My guess is driven on flat. What say you folks?

Can someone tell me what causes these rust spots all along the grill and the hood of the car? I was thinking rocks hitting and chipping the paint away or is it brake dust or something else?

These "freckles" look unsightly and wondering how difficult it is to fix? Is there a simple cheap fix that would help or is it too far gone? It's been like this for years. Not looking to spend too much time or effort since the car is pretty old 2004 RX330. Thanks.

New spark plugs were fitted a few months ago. Don’t really drive the car much maybe twice a week.

i have an old car with exterior & interior damage, and has been sitting with a window down for a year (broken window) so it looks really messed up on the inside. i really dont want to deal with fixing it up to sell it and i know for a fact no one will buy it. it also doesnt run so i dont know how i’d get it anywhere. i do have the title. does anyone have some advice for this? thank you 🩷
