Description of the problem | I started hearing a weird noise from the front end of my car. It's like a grinding noise... Sounds like aluminum cans being crushed. Doesn't matter where i drive it, flat surface or uphill it makes the same noise. This happens between 18 to 21 mph. Also, after i make a full stop it would skid, sometimes shakes even just a little tap on the gas pedal. It's dangerous enough that i almost hit a car in front of me. Driving on the freeway; sometimes it losses power / won't accelerate. The car can't keep 55 mph it goes slower until it reaches 48 mph. I don't feel safe driving the car. |
