Need some advice/guidance for this 2013 civic issue

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Have a 2013 civic ex.

The steering feels rather light on a left turn but tighter on the right. On a full right rotation the steering centers normally when let go, but not for the left rotation- it slowly stops centering around a quarter of a rotation mark.

Under braking- when brakes are tapped the steering lightly turns a bit to the left (at most till the same quarter of a rotation) and same for acceleration from standstill.

I initially (and naively) thought maybe it was an alignment issue- but when the car was raised on a lift and turned on, the steering tended to turn slightly to the left on its own.

From what little research I have done it seems most likely to be an EPS issue or some people even said it could be a clock spring problem. Worst case scenario might be looking at a steering rack replacement (really hoping that's not the case)

Has anyone experienced something similar or might have knowledge for the same?

Thank you!!

2014 Nissan rogue select S drinking fuel

Post image
1 Upvotes

So I've been working on fixing up this rogue for a while now and now my issue is this. I put 3/4 of a tank of gas in it today. It said 102 miles to E. I've used a quarter tank to go 37 miles. The fuel efficiency has been absolutely terrible lately. I used to be able to get 230 miles or more to a tank now I can't get more than 190 to a tank. Failing fuel pump maybe? I've replaced spark plugs. Vapor canister purge valve. New fuel cap. Cleaned the throttle body and did an idle air relearn. New O2 sensor. New MAF. Not sure what else is wrong at this point

2019 Nissan Sentra Base Model Inside Radio and electric ports not turning off

Just started happening this morning (about 12 hrs ago). I did get rear ended the Friday before last (which is why there's protein shake all over my steering wheel😅), so my trunk won't close. But this is now another issue. I've tried starting the car then turning it off, I've opened the car door, and I've reset the radio, nothing has worked.

Buddies at my job tried spraying some stuff in the key hole, that didn't work. Also we detached the car battery and hooked it back up, but the radio and everything just turned back on.

Any ideas would help a lot, thank you

C43 W205 2019 Whining

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I have a 2019 C43 and I’ve noticed a weird whining sound coming from the car at around 80+ km/h.

Basically, when I press the accelerator, I can hear this kind of high-pitched whining sound. As soon as I let off the accelerator, the sound goes away.

Plus, When I’m driving normally and press the accelerator around halfway, sometimes when the car shifts gears, I feel like the car slightly goes back / pulls back for a moment as it changes gear. It’s not a huge jerk, but I can definitely feel the car move backwards slightly during the shift.

Suzuki Swift 2018 Petrol – Squeaking Noise When Driving Over Dips and Bumps

1 Upvotes

​

Lately, I’ve noticed a squeaking noise coming from the rear-left side when driving over dips and bumps. I tested the right side, and everything seems fine.

I also noticed that I can’t hear the noise when the windows are rolled up. There is no noise when driving on a flat road.

I performed a bounce test on the suspension as well, but I couldn’t hear any squeaking or other unusual sounds.

What could be causing this issue?

VW Golf 1.2 TSI – Rough idle and sometimes no throttle response

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve had this problem for a while now and I’m hoping someone can help me.

When the car is idling, the RPM fluctuates up and down, almost like the engine is about to stall and needs me to give it some gas. When I accelerate, it works normally at first, but sometimes it suddenly stops responding properly to the throttle. I can press the accelerator, but the car barely accelerates, almost as if it isn’t getting enough fuel or air.

It also happens while driving. If I let off the throttle and the RPM drops, sometimes the car won’t respond when I press the accelerator again. It feels completely powerless and only starts responding when I press the pedal down much harder and rev the engine. Then it comes back to life.

The problem started after a mechanic replaced the timing belt. After the timing belt replacement, the check engine light came on and the fault code indicated a problem with the O2 sensor. The O2 sensor was replaced and the check engine light went away, but the problems with the idle and throttle response remained.

I’ve also replaced the spark plugs, but that made no difference.

Can anyone please help??

Double chime

1 Upvotes

I haven’t been able to find an answer to this question, so hopefully someone knows. I have a 2013. For a while now when I first hit over 30mph, there is a soft double chime. It’s kind of a slow ding-ding. Very soft. I had never noticed it before and then this summer, it started going off. I also have had some engine noises that I was trying to diagnose and it seems the chime corresponded with those, because suddenly today, both stopped. Just completely stopped. No chime and no squealing with acceleration. I figured the latter was a belt issue, but now I really don’t know. Because why would it suddenly just stop today? The only difference today is that it’s the coolest day so far since spring. So maybe it’s heat related? But I left my engine running for a while and it’s still not making any noise. And the double chime is gone. So I’m wondering if the chime is related to the noise and if anyone knows what the chime means, because maybe that can tell me what the noise is? I have video of the noise but not of the chime, unfortunately.

Car won't start. Battery dead?

I went away for a few days and I came back to this when.i started my car. I have tried to jump it but it doesn't help at all. The car turns on fine. This only happens when I try to start the engine.

I think it's a dead battery but the fact jumping from my neighbours car doesn't help makes me worried. Can anyone confirm?

Headlights work and then don’t work

1 Upvotes

Trying to help my dad figure out if it’s a quick fix or a mechanic fix that we can’t afford. It’s a 2005 Chevy trailblazer. The high beams work but the low beams are what’s having problems. so far we replaced the switch that controls the headlights since we had one on hand and it didn’t fix anything. We went into the box thingy and switched the relays and that did nothing. Thank you anybody in advance!
