  • I have lost between 10-20% of my gas mileage since the repair and the car is making metal on metal noise.?

    So recently my vehicle was in an accident. A pole was hit going about 5 mph in the front left leading to a replaced fender, bumper, headlight, fog light, rim, and control arm. There is also a heat exchanger for my transmission in that area of my car.

    Car Details :

    2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

    58,000 miles,

    2.0 l, with 4 wh

    My car typically got 28-32 on the expressway and now I get roughly 24. Any theories on what the problem is? I want to have an idea or two so I don't get rapped by a repaiar man

  • My 2002 Malibu makes the sounds of the blinkers when the car is just driving. what is wrong?

    I have a 2002 Malibu, and the blinker unit blinks randomly. The door chime noise has just started to make the noise at the exact same time. This is very annoying. My Wipers have recently stopped working completely, and I can remove my key why the car is running (found out because the people at Walmart had my car in the notch before off so the radio was on when I got in my car). Is any of this related?

    Another thing wrong that I thought I could throw in. When my car is in park and I press the brakes, it makes a squeaking noise kinda like opening a door that needs some WD-40. I can't figure out what it is, and I believe it might have something to do with the ABS because the light will sometimes flash on and off when I am driving.

    Wow this car is a piece of crap, no wonder they are going out of buisness. I am buying a Ford next time:)

  • Both front tires are wearing on the outsides. What could cause this?

    I have a 02 Malibu with 99k miles. I replaced the calipers at around 75 thousand and have 2 front end alignments in the past 50,000 miles. I have no Idea why, but the outside of both front tires wearing extremely quickly (~10,000 miles). If you have any ideas on why this is happening please help. My car doesn't pull in either direction, but my breaks make a squeaking sound when you press the pedal.

    thanks

  • What can pick me up without putting my heart down?

    I am an extremely active individual. I am a full time college student, I work 21 hours a week, and I play IM sports. I am awake at 6 every morning, and don't go to bed till past midnight on most nights. I was wondering what type of anything can give me a boost to keep me going. Caffiene is great, but it is bad for my heart. Does anybody know of anything that can keep me going without the side affects of high blood pressure, and addiction?

  • Why Kill babys over Murders?

    The other day I was pondering, and started to wonder. Why do Democrats seem to be pro choice, yet they want to get abolish the death penalty? This doesn't make any sense to me. Kill babys, and let murders live. I know that this isn't all democrats belief, and the situation is a little more comples, but it seems to be a little backwards don't you think?

  • Meg M Here is the link hope you like it?

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19692094/?GT1=10150

    This is the statement the pope made

    He made the following statements

    Orthodox churches were defective and that other Christian denominations were not true churches

    “Dominus Iesus,” which set off a firestorm of criticism among Protestant and other Christian denominations because it said they were not true churches but merely ecclesial communities and therefore did not have the “means of salvation"

    She made a statement that this didn't happen and it did. YOU ARE WRONG AND I HOPE YOU SEE THIS.

  • My car is not accelerating when started on cold days.?

    I have a 2002 Chevy Malibu (I know horrible), and it doesn't accelerate when I start it up in the morning. I got a transmission fluid, and filter change yesterday, and no improvement. My car has a newer catalytic converter, has 77,250 miles (almost all express-way), and has been doing this for ~2 weeks. The car runs perfectly fine after it warms up for about 10 minutes. The engine accelerates, but the car doesn't move. Cold days would be from -10 to 20 Degrees F. I am not sure if it is related, but my Gas mileage has decreased over the past two months from 27-21 mpg, but I just accociate that with the cold weather.

  • Why does my car have no power in the winter.?

    It will idle, but won't move. I have no problems at all starting my car, but it tops out at maybe 15 till it is warmed up. The car will shift into gear, then it will rev up, but with no power, just RPMS. I have no idea what it is, but it runs perfectly fine soon as the temp gague goes into a normal range. I have an 02 Malibu, 77000 miles, and am using 10W30 full sythetic oil.
