Buying a used 2017 Camaro. There are two different side marker lights on each side also one side has an emblem not the other. Is this common for that year or has it been modified / wrecked and not fixed properly?
Anybody know the part number for the brake light on top of the cab?
So my old lady has a Cruze 1.4L. Tonight on her way home it lost all power and became gutless. Also, there’s a loud rattling sound coming from intake manifold. Sounds like something inside rattling around. Yes that solenoid is clicking away too lol but this is different. It’s INSIDE. does it mainly coming back down from a rev. Also threw a bunch of codes. P0016. P0017. P0106. P0299. P1101.
My 2009 Tahoe was doing fine and all of a sudden the ac stopped blowing completely. Any ideas on what it could be or how to fix?
Trying to take my Equinox to the drive in movie and want to sit in the back with hatch open. Override switch will turn off all the interior lights other than the dome light in the hatch. Is there any way to turn this off manually?
is this a good deal?
Hey all! So, I have a relatively new 24 Equinox Premier. The infotainment system worked fine up until yesterday, and since then it has been nothing but trouble for me.
The regular infotainment environment with the apps will boot up sometimes if the car has been off for a while, but usually it has been going to just a blank black screen. The backup camera still works despite this. Additionally, my OnStar light is red when it should be (and usually is) green.
Does anyone have any tips on how to reset the infotainment system? I've tried holding the power button and various other button combinations I looked up online but I haven't had any luck.
I do have a maintenance request to try get this looked at by the nearest dealership, but the appointment is a month out.
Thanks for any tips you can provide!
Heater hose on 2008 Chevy silverado broke, is this a common thing to happen to this truck? (Using my bfs account to post )
Recently while driving my 2008 chevy Silverado 5.3 flex fuel, (200,113miles) I was on my way home and my oil light started flashing. I went to autozone and purchesed oil and added some
The following day while driving home I got off the freeway and was almost home and my truck’s temperature went all the way to the right and white steam started to pour out from under my hood and behind the cab, I thought my truck was on fire for a minute, but it was coolant pouring out. I was one light away and I made it back thankfully.
Later I looked and saw that the heater hose at the quick connect had broken off somehow.
I know I never touched the hose putting oil in. But he swears I broke the hose and am lying about this. And that there is no way this hose broke on its own. It had to have been me.
Is this a common issue on Chevy /gmc trucks for the hose to randomly break ?
I have attached a photo of my hose.
it was a getaway car, thanks!
In short, my friends '08 malibu has been having issues with stalling for a while, and has tried to get it fixed a few times. She just called me because it had stalled in the parking lot of our schools library, and it had stalled and when she tries to start it it turns over fine but revs (she wasn't touching the gas or brakes, and the RPM and speedometer were going up and down on their own) and then stalls out. Also, when we popped the hood and tried to start it, the engine was visibly shaking. She doesn't even know how to check her oil, and all my extent of knowledge about cars is oil changes, jumping, and what the word 'rev' means. I have no idea what it could be, but the shaking engine and haunted speedometer don't look good. Her mechanic thinks it could be the Throttle Position Sensor/Starter, but she's taken it in before and whatever he did didn't fix it then so I'm worried she might take it in to get something fixed that still won't solve the issue. Also, we are in college, and her home mechanic is an hour and a half away. Having to tow her car that whole way would suck, and the mobile mechanics nearby aren't available. She would like to take it somewhere she knows and trusts, and is worried that she might get scammed, so if she knew what the issue might be, she might be able to take it anywhere with a good reputation and avoid unnecessary expenses.
Any ideas on what it could potentially be is great.
We're being gifted a 2012 chevy malibu with a broken ac. It's got the 2.4 in it. I wanna learn to work on cars and potentially fix it but I wanna know if it's a fairly easy engine to work on.
I own a 2005 Chevy Tahoe LT 100k miles. Will be downsizing for gas mileage soon. It has turned up an interesting situation. Out here in the snow where I live in the northeast, there is a premium on later generation vehicles like mine with low mileage and not rusted out. People can buy a comp for my truck out west for $5 or $6k. But, out here my truck is rare. I don't have any disillusions about it's value and don't think it's made of gold or anything. However, there's a twin for my vehicle next town over for $13k in a little better condition. I've got a great truck, but need better gas mileage. My wife went and opened a successful business an hour away. Lady just needs something basically same but smaller. Thanks in advance for any advice
In the market for a used 2014+ year model truck and currently have a 09 1500. Would I be better off getting a 5.3 with sub 100k miles or a duramax with upwards of 150k miles. I want Duramax, but I’ve never owned a diesel so I don’t know a whole lot about them, where as I’ve owned and tinkered with a couple 5.3’s. I also only drive around 5k a year with a work vehicle.
Hey guys I have a dumb question about my Chevy Malibu 2014 , can it take synergy gas?
Not sure how popular the sparks are but my 2020 activ is having some weird cracking noises when opening / closing the driver door.
Noting i did get my oil change recently from an auto shop and this started the day after. Not sure if somehow related, I don’t know the first thing about how oil changes work. A bit hesitant to bring it back there bc they tried upselling me on tons of new items. Anyway any help is appreciated, sorry if this isn’t the right sub to post in
Thank you!
First let me say the equinox battery situation is crazy. But I read the manual to the letter says use the little battery auxiliary charging thing and ground it on the un painted metal rod they put there just for grounding... Sat for like 2 hours.... Car buddy shows and and sees I follow instructions and laughed...
He connects everything like you would on any other car and we immediately have power...
Bought a trax maybe like a month or so ago and I love it so far. It’s noticed something tonight when getting off work that my car is leaking some sort of liquid. It’s coming from whatever this thing is lol. The liquid doesn’t have any smell or anything to it. Do you know what it could possibly be? Thanks in advanced!

I was sitting at a red light and my 2022 trailblazer died. I got it started again but then it died again with the notification on the dash screen saying “2 keys programmed” I only have one key and it was in my back pocket. What the heck does that meannnnn?????

14K miles still under warranty. Has been at the dealership for 2 days and they're saying they "can't recreate the issue" even after playing them the video.
Any ideas?
