It could be that the battery in the key fob is weak. The key fob uses a watch battery and it lasts a long time, but won't go on forever. The batteries are usually standard items that you can buy...
Your car offers a number of different features designed to help make driving safer, including the electronic stability control (ESC) system. The ESC system is automatic, so you don’t need to do anything to activate it. It turns on when...
Greetings and thank you for writing in with this question! Does the Check Engine Light illuminate when the vehicle stalls? If so, a certified mechanic (like those with YourMechanic) can scan the vehicle computer for codes. This type of stalling...
No start conditions are some of my favorite to diagnose. A car needs 3 things to run. Gas, air and spark. If one of those is missing the magic doesn't happen. We know you have fuel in your tank, but...
Hi there: It's common for the traction control module to develop electrical problems after it's been in use for more than 5 years. This is most likely the source of your Honda Accord's driving issues. In most cases, it's an...

The clues to what that was all about are within the trouble code(s) that were stored when the check engine light illuminated. Those codes, which can be downloaded, are not themselves a diagnostic or pinpoint identification of the failed or...
I would recommend having your tires inspected by a qualified professional to determine if any irregularities exist. It is possible that a slipped belt could be causing this issue in one or more of your tires. It is also possible...
Hi There, When the thermostat is stuck open, this can cause problems with the engine never reaching the proper operating temperature as you may know. While the thermostat remains stuck open, this allows coolant to pass through the motor unregulated...
As long as no water has gotten into the car, sight unseen I would suggest checking for loose connections. Positive and negative battery cables, not just at the battery. Check the other ends - where the positive cable connects to...
I would first recommend to have the battery jump started first to see if problem is due to the battery being low on charge or cranking power. If jumping does not help then you most likely have a defective starter....
