Need serious help....car problems
really need some help on the diagnosis part, ill list the problems 1 by 1
i have a 2k SE Auto
1. On the highway, there seems to be some sort of howling sound coming from the engine, like a wailing, but when i let off the throttle it stays for a but then goes away.
2. Theres a sound coming from my rear left wheel, while in the car sounds sorta like a helicopter is chasing me, if u listen for it its noticeable, wheel bearing maybe? The rear left wheel, the wheel well on that part is lower than on the right side, looks like its dropped.
3. When braking, it feels like the car is pulsating to a stop, ive been told it might be warped rotors.
4. The tranny doesnt downshift properly, if left in D, when i let off the throttle at highway speeds, the engine rpm just slows down instead of dropping kinda like its staying in gear.
5. At highway speeds when driving, the steering wheel vibrates, also when braking.
6. At idle, the engine vibrates more than usual, and when brake torquing, the engine moves more than usual, also in 1st gear when i hit the throttle, it pulls normally but also hear a loud banging noise.
i have hypotheses on the problems but i thought i would get some more opinions cuz most people on the forum know a LOT more about this stuff than i do. thanks for all your help in advance.
