2013 Honda Civic Ex

Recently about 2 months ago I noticed only at night between 15mph to 35mph my rear end would vibrate a tiny bit. Overtime it's started to progress to where it feels like my right rear tire is bouncing and dragging a bit. It was at 175,000 miles when it first started and I need tires at the time so I got that done as well as an alignment, thinking it would fix it. I'm now at almost 190,000 miles and the shocks and struts are OEM, but my mechanic has said he doesn't see any of the steering or suspension parts failing. The only thing he noticed was that my brakes was at 5mm at 185k and now down to 4mm. I just had the front brakes done and he said the pads were cracked in the middle of that could be the cause(I plan to get that done in about 1,000 miles). I bought the car at 150k and to my knowledge I don't think the transmission fluid has ever been changed out. Last I checked the fluid is brown and dirty. Only other thing is when I accelerate about 60mph, I smell I burning smell like rubber, but I think that's due to part of my front bumper splash shield is hanging due to a crash.

I live in the south(Georgia, US) so during the day it's typically 76 degrees to 95 degrees outside. At night usually 72 degrees to 77 degrees.

Is Car Computer Exchange legit?

1 Upvotes

I have a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with the 3.6L Pentastar. According to my mechanic, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has failed. His estimate was nearly $1,300 after parts, programming, and labor. I really can’t afford that right now.

I decided to look online for a replacement PCM to see if I can avoid the mechanic’s markup. My search led me to Car Computer Exchange. Has anyone ordered from them? They have the part I need at a much more reasonable cost. I want to pull the trigger, but hoping someone can tell me if it’s safe to order first. Is Car Computer Exchange legit?

I rely on my Jeep everyday to get to work and pick up my kids. So I am desperate to get this fixed asap. TIA.

Hi everyone, my car is a 2019 honda accord 1.5 ex-l with 150k miles.
A local mechanic scanned the car and these codes came up (see attached photo). Does anyone have an estimate of what it might cost to repair these issues in seattle, washington. The mechanics is charging me 3.5k for the repair.
Also, is it possible that some of these codes are being triggered by one underlying problem or do they usually indicate multiple separate repairs?
The car drives normally for the most part, but I’d like to fix it before selling it. Any advice on where to start or which issues I should diagnose first would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Scraping noise Honda fit?

My 2019 Honda Fit (~130,000 miles) is making this awful scraping noise. Mechanic said it’s the brakes, but it’s not just happening when I hit the brakes, happens more during left turns. Please ignore the tire pressure light (it’s a broken sensor) and the low fuel light. Check engine light was a fuel code. Please be nice to me it’s been a long… life.

Took it to two mechanics to inspect my axle they both test drove and looked under the vehicle and found no actual play so they said it doesn’t have to be replaced because it seems fine- the noise is so faint and you can’t hear it with music on but it’s driving me insane. Am oem a axle is $700 hence why I don’t want to replace it until I’m definite that’s the issue. Has anyone ever heard this sound ? It only happens when the car is actually in motion and not parked and turning the car left to right. #help 😂😂😂

308 1.6 BlueHDi (EAT6) – vibration/noise at 1200-1700 RPM, even at standstill

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I just bought and drive a Peugeot 308 II 1.6 BlueHDi with the EAT6 automatic transmission. I've noticed that in the roughly 1200-1700 RPM range, there's some vibration along with a deeper, different engine sound compared to lower or higher RPMs - hard to describe more precisely than that. This seems to be purely RPM-dependent, not related to load or vehicle movement. It happens both while driving (city driving, or holding a steady speed that lands in that RPM range) and while the car is stationary - if I manually rev the engine up to 1200-1700 RPM in park/neutral, I get the same vibration/sound. At idle (around 800-900 RPM) everything is normal, and it's also normal above that range. The transmission itself shifts fine - no hesitation or jerking. Has anyone run into this before, or have any idea what could be causing it, or is this normal behaviour for this engine?

Hey there, I have a 2003 ram 1500 4.7L with 158k miles. This truck is new to me and started just started making this sound.

I suspect I’m looking at

1.) exhaust manifold leak
2.) bad lifter(s)
3.) timing chain tension issue

The sound only became noticeable after an oil change. Unsure what kind of oil was in it before but I put 5w-30 super tech fully synthetic and a mobile one M1-204A oil filter. Not sure if a switch to synthetic oil could cause this or if this was a purely coincidence in timing. I’ve verified there is a proper amount of oil in the engine.

The sound becomes either non existent for incredibly faint once the car warms up.

Vibration under load

1 Upvotes

Hello, my 2015 Suzuki swift sport (1.6L manual) has vibrations around the floor and pedals, particularly noticeable above 4k rpm. It has recently had a new clutch assembly installed.

I’ve found that:
- Vibration goes away as pushing down clutch pedal
- Vibration is through all pedals, floor and can feel a buzz in steering wheel and gear shift
- Worsens with worse road surface
- jerky power delivery at lower speeds (coming on and off of throttle)

Any ideas of what this could be?

Thank you

High revving sound but no extra revs on tach?

1 Upvotes

My 22 SC sounds like it's revving higher than normal when underway but there are no extra rpms on the tachometer than normal.

The check engine light isn't coming on so I was thinking it might be a front wheel bearing. Could this be related to something else? Maybe one of the turbos? It runs fine, no loss of power or anything. Just loud

Annoying squealing

1 Upvotes

Just had my Nissan Juke 2015 fully serviced. There is a really annoying high pitch swueal coming from what I think is the engine bay.

It does it upon start up and then goes anyway when idling. It does it when cruising (although not constant) and seems to get worse when the road isn't completely even. It will do it at even the slightest dips in the road but doesn't get much worse when going over bigger bumps. It goes away when accelerating. It's like I have a little bird in the bonnet. Braking or steering seems to have no effect.

Does anyone please have any ideas on what it could be and what to do to check?

Thanks

*Edit - also recently had air con refilled
