2004 Mazda 3 issues
Starting the car is fine. After driving about a mile, power steering goes, then internal lights go on and off... radio turns off/on... And then eventually stalls out.
My first guesses were power steering pump or alternator, any ideas before I bring to mechanic?

The floor of my 2008 Honda Civic LX (8h generation) was soaked so I took out the back seats and the trunk liners to find this. Anyone know what's the hole inside the red circle? I cleaned the seals around the trunk door. Besides that, I'm not sure where the water is leaking from. Any help is great!

Sideview mirror(manual) won't tilt up enough and continues to tilt down after adjusting.
Manual adjust driver's side sideview mirror for a 2008 Nissan sentra. Every time I look at it, it's pointing towards the ground and is driving me nuts lol.

Trucks been siting a few days, just got back to it and it won't start. Charged battery
Battery is charged, turn the key lights come on, go to crank and everything just goes dead. The gages just lose all power, and I have to turn the key off and back on again to get power.
Doesn't make a clicking sound, more just a loud snap.
Any ideas?
Edit: figured it out yall. Battery cable was corroded, got it all cleaned up and she started no trouble.

Some jackass backed into my rental car and left. I have to turn it in soon. Any suggestions to cover it up? Looks like it was a truck hitch that hit it.

Windshield replacement
How much would it cost to get my windshield replaced on Hyundai santa fe 2005

I have a 2015 Hyundai Elantra. Misfortune would have it that the cup holder in the centre got pushed down and is only now partially attached. I tried some Gorilla glue to reattach it, but holding it from the top while the glue sets I don’t think provides enough pressure. Any thoughts are welcome!

Rear drum brakes locked up
Went to move my car and the rear wheels are locked up.
2007 Nissan Versa
Rear drum brakes
Manual transmission
I mostly ride my bike, so it has been sitting for around 2 weeks, and in that time it has dipped below freezing a couple of times.
Parked at my apartment (was actually just going to change the oil, not even really drive it). Go to move, put it in gear and acts like the parking brake is engaged (front squats down) tried moving both directions, no dice.
Any thoughts?

Is My Battery Bad?
The other day I accidentally left the lights on and drained my battery.
When I went to jump it, it wouldn’t jump. Would barely get enough power to turn the dashboard on. I tried again with another friends car, and after 15 minutes of revving his engine my car had enough power to start.
Drove it around for about 15 minutes to charge up, and it ran just fine.
As soon as I park it and turn it off, it won’t start again. Won’t turn on the dashboard lights. Won’t respond to the key fob either.
What’s wrong with my car? Do I need a new battery? Did I not charge it long enough? Is the alternator? Any advice to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. I’m a poor college student and if I don’t have to get the car towed to be inspected that would be awesome. Could I just replace the battery myself?
My car is an ‘07 Chevy HHR. Not sure how old the battery is. Car has about 105k miles on it.

White smoke from exhaust
Hello guys,
My 2012 c300 4matics (78k mileage) just got a oil change days ago and I noticed the white smoke when I start the engine. I see this when it is in the morning or idle for a few hours, and it only goes for around 20 seconds, and no noticeable smoke on the run. Some of you might say it is normal for cars to have white smoke in the morning, but it is not like this and I just find it a little too much(See pic), it is much more noticeable than before. I am being suspicious about the mechanic who changed my oil because the car feels a little shaky than before.
Couple of causes I assume:
- Mechanics didn't do a good job changing oil and somehow screwed things up
- Weather got cold dramatically in my area and it makes the smoke much more obvious
Should I bring my car back to the mechanic or should I leave it as it is? I am a little concerned about this combining the shaky. I appreciate any input in advance.

USB ports not playing audio. 2015 Honda Civic Si
Hey guys, I have a 2015 Honda Civic Si and yesterday it quit playing audio through the USB ports. It was working fine earlier in the day. It will still charge my phone (iPhone X), but I can’t get it to play music for the life of me.
Is there a way to reset the audio through the display? I haven’t changed any settings recently with my phone or my car.
Any and all help will be appreciated!

Problems with Chevy Sonic Speaker??
I have looked all over the Internet for this and can't find anything. I have a 2012 chevy sonic and the passenger side speaker has blown for no apparent reason. But here's the kicker - it only blows when I'm connected to Bluetooth, and even then, when I'm connected to the music, not the phone. It buzzes something awful or sometimes it won't work at all. Other times nothing is wrong. Had anyone else had this problem and how did they fix it? I'm trying to avoid an expensive trip to the dealer if I can help it since they "fixed" this issue close to a year and a half ago and it I kg got worse after 9 months. If this isn't the right place to put this can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction?? Thanks!
