If your car squeals when you first start it, the noise may be coming from the serpentine belt or one of the parts that keeps the belt moving. The sound may last only a few seconds or continue until the engine warms up.
If your heater blows warm air on one side and cold air on the other, the HVAC system may not be directing air the right way. This is common on vehicles with dual-zone climate control, where the driver and passenger can choose different temperatures.

If your car smells like gas, take the odor seriously. A fuel smell can come from a fuel leak, EVAP system problem, loose gas cap, or another issue that lets fuel or fuel vapor escape.
If your headlights dim when you stop at a red light, the charging system may need attention. You may notice the lights get brighter again when you press the gas or start moving.
A soft or spongy brake pedal can mean there is a problem in the brake system. The pedal may feel like it sinks too far, feels weak, or does not give you the firm feel you expect when stopping.
If you hear a clicking sound when you turn, a worn CV joint is one of the most common causes. The noise may be louder during a sharp turn, such as when you pull into a parking space or make a U-turn.
If your car vibrates or shakes while idling , something may not be working the way it should.
If your tires keep losing air, there is usually a reason. A small puncture, leaking valve stem, wheel problem, or change in weather can all cause tire pressure to drop.
If your car AC smells musty when you turn it on, moisture may be trapped inside the AC system. That moisture can lead to mold, mildew, or other buildup that causes a bad smell from the vents.
