Hi, about two days ago my car started having issues turning over. The dashboard would light up, and two different ding sounds in different pitches would start playing. I couldn’t turn the lights immediately off so I would have to wait a moment for the car to calm down. I jump started it that night, and it worked. No issues the next morning. Tried starting it again the following night and same problem, only this time jump starting 2 times wouldn’t work. I left it alone for 40 minutes and tried again and it worked. Went to Autozone to get it tested and the battery changed. They told me everything was working fine, and said to get a battery corrosion cleaning kit to try and fix it. Later that night I used the kit and everything worked fine (other than getting some small sparks reattaching the negative terminal). I tried to start it again last night and it wouldn’t start. This video is what u saw it doing last night.

Is this a battery or starter issue, or something else?

Collision happened at roughly 30-40mph. All airbags deployed.

For context:
Recently, I was driving my 2022 392 charger Daytona when my aftermarket front splitter made of ABS plastic broke off on the highway forcing me to drive over it.
I had gotten off the highway and pulled into a close parking lot, a few things I noticed was the ac started blowing hotter air than normal and the air intake temperatures during idling sat at around 165’F. The interior temp was close to 100’ itself. I also hear a slight pssssssst noise coming from the center of the engine bay. I had driven it home and the temps fell to around 100 but then increased back to 165 when idling. I didn’t notice any major issues during the drive. However, I feel the front left tire feels a little more rough when driving but the PSI remained the same. That was the main area the front splitter passed under. Furthermore, I ran the diagnostic codes on the chargers system and nothing appeared.

Basically, my question is does anyone know what the pssst is and what the roughness on the tire would indicate? Any help is appreciated. Just over stressing trying to figure this out.

My cars been whirling/rumbling and then letting off steam with a buzz whenever I start it and let it idle or try running it. Has been doing this since last night. No errors on OB sensor, nothing on the dash, Ive replaced the battery(original problem was it wouldnt even start, started doing this after I jumped it) and refilled the antifreeze coolant(Peak Blue for hondas, it was very low before).

Update: It ran perfectly on the way home. Left it for a couple of hours and now it wont start again, dash lights turned on once but now its acting like it drained the completely new battery. Looks like the coolant is critically low again. A friend told me that it looks like the upper condensation hose got out of its housing. TLDR: Refilled coolant, its low again.

I have a 2024 Mazda cx30 7k miles. I hear a rattling sound while sitting idle. Gets louder when I shift from park to drive and vise versa. And when I press the gas pedal I hear it. It sounds like it’s coming from under the driver side in the middle of the car?

It does not make this noise every time I start it up. Its usually with a cold a start and the noise sounds slightly different each time, like different rhythm or duration.

2014 Honda CR-V​

so basically it was 101° today and this message popped up after someone cut me off and I had to brake really hard, not saying that has anything to do with this, but should I go in and get this looked at or will it resolve when the temperature goes down? Also, I have only had this car for two weeks, it’s brand new so I’m a little worried lol, what do yall think?

2019 honda civic, These just popped up when i turned the car on. We are going through a heatwave right now. It looks like it runs fine just almost every light turned on on the dashboard

Bought car recently for gf an im currently trying to fix the small issues like the glove box and so on unfortunately I dont know what the part exactly is if someone has a 3d printable file of the part that would make it easier for me to repair it over buying a new one unless I can find it decently cheap

Idk anything about cars but why is there a plug inside the engine? Is that supposed to be there? Bought this car from a questionable dealership lol. Just want to know what this thing is.

Just started running a little sluggish the last couple of days. Started making this noise today and shut off randomly. No warning lights.

There's this weird metallic pinging sound that keeps happening. It's the exact same sound every time and seems to happen every 10-15 seconds or so. It happens when the engine is on and off. Anyone know what it could be?

I lost the key. What is the most easy way to open it. It doesn't has a brand on it.

Thank you in advance!

The sound correlates to the speed of the wheels

Last time I had my oil changed was at jiffy lube. Went to change it today and saw this. Is this too stripped for my oil drain plug?

1/2” socket doesn’t fit right and 13mm seems too loose. Worried I’ll strip the last couple edges that aren’t already rounded.
