I have a 1989 toyota camry and everytime i release the brakes, i hear this loud squealing noise that is coming outside of my car. I recently got my brake pads and rotor replace, but i still hear this sound everytime i release my brake. I ask the guy who fixed my car why i hear this noise and he told me something i didn't understand so i just said oh i see. Anyway let me emphasize that the noise is cause immediately once i release my brake pedals and not when i stepping on them.

I recently brought a 1999 plymouth voyager 2.4L with 98000 miles. And I discovered to late that the radiator had been drained, and filling th coolant bottle is not enough to fill the water jacket. The results, I'm sure is overheating, and overheating=blown head gasket in short order. Now, that I have gone and done it...how can I fix it.

I have a 98 Pathfinder. And a pretty decent shimmy (you can feel it in the steering column), especially when turning...it is more noticeable then. I hate shimmies, because you can never seem to eradicate them. Anyways, when it is parked, if you turn the steering wheel lightly side to side, you hear a clicking sound (again, through the steering column). I am almost positive this is related to my shimmy problem.

I have had shocks and struts replaced, and tires, to no avail...the bugger won't go away!

I plan on going back to a repair shop with it anyways, but I don't want to be snowed over, so if you guys can give me any approximations as to what this might be, I would be forever grateful!

Thanks for your time!!

I replaced the filter, powerflushed the trans, checked for debris. Nothing noticeable when I look at it. It sounds like a bad rod knock but its coming from the torque converter. There is also a bare metal stripe around the outside edge like something is rubbing it but the noise only appears when the engine is warm and strain is on the trans. I.E. when driving only. I checked the flexplate bolts and everything is torqued properly. No shimmy or shake or vibration, just that damn noise! If I drive it for more than 20 minutes with the knocking then the truck stalls out when I hit the brakes. Fuel pressure good, timing good, injector pump good too. It's an ex military CUCV M1009. No shop wants to look at it because its ex military and totally different from civilian but a trans is a trans. Motor is different but trans is not.

I have a Ford Explorer. My battery is 3 years old and I put a new altenator in last year. Today after picking up dinner I was driving and came to a stop sign, my battery gage began to decline to the L (low) end. My truck did not stall. While I am driving the gage is at its regular spot. However when I stop, not putting it into park, and my Air conditioner is running the battery goes down to very low. It never used to do this. Could it be that my altenator is going? Is my gage not working properly. I know that the AC takes up more power, but it has never done this in the 5 yrs of owning it. I am suppose to drive with my vehicle on vacation, but now need to figure out what is the matter with it. A friend has a valometer and is going to hook it up and see what the alternator and battery is putting out. Please HELP!!!

In addition when I first start it the idle is sometime too high and lowers after running for a few minutes. And sometimes it cuts off while I'm driving either idle or accelerating. I start it back up and it runs. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY BABY?

Ok, so i have a 2003 Kia Rio. When I'm driving I can hear a strange "swishing noise". I was scared it was my rotors making the noise. It does this noise every time the wheel does a full revolution. I took it to a guy I know and he said it was dust cups or something. Said that when they get bent, they scrape against something and thats the noise I hear. Well, he bent them back into shape, but I could still hear the noise. Now, its really loud and making me kinda nervous. Its on both sides. Someone mentioned that it could be bearings.

Can anyone help???

The unit was low on freon so we charged it. It is now at 40 on the guage which is appropriate. But it is still blowing warm air. We have now noticed that the clutch is not turning on the pulley.
The compressor was kicking on and off before we charged it and the clutch pulley was turning.
What should we do next?
