SUVs are a crowded market, but Jeep has long been a name to remember. SUVs are generally built on the chassis of a truck and provide the overall handling of a truck instead of feeling more like a car that...
If you have the 2.0L engine, and are changing both the filter and the oil, add 6.3 quarts of oil. All other engines on this model, that is the 2.4L and the 2.5L, require 5.0 quarts if you are changing...
If these two malfunctions did not start the instant you installed a new battery, they are probably not related to the battery. The camera is activated in reverse which means the circuit goes through the neutral start switch. That switch...
If you remove the catalytic converter, the check engine light will turn on and it will turn on even if you retain the downstream oxygen sensor that is on your car. Under almost all circumstances, Federal EPA requirements do not...
As far as deactivating the built-in immobilizer, there is no user accessible option to do that. A Hyundai dealer might have access to a control interface to modify the immobilizer but then anything the dealer does will have to be...
If the EPS light is on, trouble codes have been stored, therefore the first step is to use a Honda scan tool to download the trouble codes that have set. Those codes are then resolved as appropriate depending on exactly...
Hi there. I would definitely start with having the wheels and tires checked (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-to-know-if-you-need-a-wheel-alignment-by-robert-tomashek) for balance and wobble. If they are fine, it is usually caused by a bad engine mount (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-engine-mount) or CV axle (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-axle-cv-shaft-assembly). Both of these are...
Hi Sean, I believe you are correct in that you may have a faulty wheel speed sensor at one of your wheels that may be dirty or not working properly. The traction control system monitors the steering and stability of...
The new transmission rebuild should not be slipping and for the amount of money it cost to get done i would recommend having the rebuilder test the computer for codes to the transmission shift solenoids and check fluid levels and...
What you are describing sounds like a dirty or failing idle air control valve. The idle air control valve (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/idle-control-valve-replacement) monitors the air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the engine at low speeds...
Inasmuch as the check engine light is on, the first thing to do is resolve all the reported malfunctions. Once that is accomplished, the engine will be re-evaluated and any remaining issue, in your case hesitation or loss of power,...
Hi David. Thanks for sending your question to us tonight. Unfortunately, when a vehicle in involved in an accident and multiple replacements have been completed, it's nearly impossible to determine the source of a vibration as you are describing without...
The oxygen sensor trouble codes that you are referring to will set due to trouble not only in the oxygen sensor itself but the oxygen sensor circuit too, which includes wiring, terminals, grounds, etc. Therefore, unless the O2 code(s) you...
Hello. I'll be glad to help you with this. On a straightaway, at speed, with no significant crown on the road, if the car is properly aligned, you should be able to remove your hands from the wheel and the...
When you disconnected the battery all of the computers for the engine and transmission reset back to the factory settings. When you drove for about 20 minutes, the computers relearned there drive conditions and the way you drive. The vibration...
Hi there. I think the information the dealership is telling you is a bit misleading. An automatic transmission works by maintaining hydraulic pressure created inside the case, and allowing the transmission to smoothly shift gears. If there is debris inside...
It seems as if the transmission rebuild did not go as planned. I would recommend taking the vehicle to the place that rebuild the transmission initially, and then ask them to see if anything they did may have caused the...
The first thing to check is to see if the shifter cable end broke loose from the transmission shifting lever on the transmission. If the cable end came off then it may need to have transmission shift cable replaced. If...
Since the check engine light came on you will want to have a computer scan for stored codes. This may indicate the cylinder that is misfiring or having issues and then further diagnosis on that cylinder can be done to...
