Dodge - Ram :: 2000 - Slight Hesitation At Freeway Speeds Every Few Seconds
I have a 2000 5.2 ltr. Dodge Ram Van. Only in overdrive, only with the cruise on, there is a slight hesitation at freeway speeds every few seconds. The Chrysler dealer said it was the overdrive clutches going bad, to the tune of trans rebuild. Guess what? It didn't fix it.

My speedometer is off by around 5mph. When I'm going about 65mph it only reads about 60mph.
How is this corrected? Programming or speedometer cable gear?
Ford Excursion :: 2000 - Trans Dies And Bogs Down With Any Shift Change After Long Freeway Run
Tranny died 12000 miles ago and shop rebuilt tranny with new torque converter.
Problem then and now is after long freeway run 60+miles it dies and bogs down with any shift change. If it is placed in 2nd it will bogg down and die. If the tranny auto shifts it also dies. If it cools or just sits it will run again for a while. This does not happen always so it is hard to duplicate it.
Truck is not towing or even loaded most of the time and only once was it loaded when it died, the first rebuild. Truck has 249000 miles, ex v10.
So any clues as to what the shop missed last time and is it worth rebuilding again. Truck is only worth a bit more than the cost of shop time.
Ford Excursion :: 2000 V10 - Fuse 19 Keep Blowing - All Gauges And Speedometer Die?
I have a 2000 Excursion V10, I keep blowing the #19 10A miniature fuse while I am going down the road. All gauges and speedometer all of sudden die but the vehicle keeps running until I turn it off. When I try to restart she won't fire until I put a new fuse in.

OK, Got this 2000 Excursion with 6.8. Recently, it just won't hardly idle, the code says MAF, but it ain't cause I bought a new one.
The Idle is like this: with MAF plugged in It starts and the rpms shoot up to appx 1200 for about 3 or 4 seconds, then it goes down to a point where you think it is going to stall, BUT at the last second it goes back up to 1200 rpm. It will usually do this for 5 or 6 times, but eventually it does stall.
If MAF is NOT Plugged IN it will start and idle perfectly, but the moment you push the Gas it will barely run at all.
Lexus SC430 :: Speedometer Went To 0 / Warning Lights On When Driving On Freeway At 75 Mph
I bought a 2002 SC430 about 6 months ago. The car has been flawless, until today. Twenty minutes into the drive while on the freeway at 75 mph the speedometer went to 0 and the ABS and Brake warning lights came on. The car and brakes seemed fine, I returned home. In the driveway I turned the car off and then restarted, all was good. No warning lights, and the speedometer worked on a drive down the street.

I have a 2001 F150 4x4 supercrew XLT 4.6 with 150,000 miles. I have a few things happening in the truck, and although it is still running for now, I would like to get ahead of this before something catastrophic happens, and I don't know if everything is related, or everything is falling apart separately.
1. I have been noticing a burning smell coming from under the hood after driving, every time I drive, but no noticeable leaks, and oil level is fine. I have seen light smoke coming from the exhaust but inconsistently. A mechanic said it was probably the valve cover seals leaking to the manifold, but I would think there would eventually be less oil on the dipstick?
2. When on the gas, over 2200 RPMish, the air and AC switches to defrost. It seems like a vacuum line leak somewhere, but can't find it.
3. Generally, the truck seems sluggish, sometimes unwilling to shift gears or accelerate at freeway speeds. Not sure if its the transmission going out again (had it replaced at 125000), or spark plugs?
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Suspension Is Too Stiff To Push Down / Shudder At Freeway Speeds
I have a 2006 F250 Lariat CC FX4. I bought the truck with 68,000 miles about 3 months ago. This is my first 4WD and I'm wondering if I need shocks.
I know how to check on a car but this suspension is too stiff to push down a corner so how do you test? Or do you just go by the age? At freeway speeds when I hit a bump I get a bit of a shudder that makes me wonder if the axle is hopping.
If I were to replace them are the Rancho shocks OK for a replacement? I will spend very little time off road and mostly use this truck for boat towing and hope to buy a travel trailer down the road.
Ford - Explorer :: 1999 - Speedometer Way Off At Low Speeds / Correct At 70 MPH
1999 Explorer Sport 4L 6 cyl SOHC ... Don't know if this is strange or not. My speedometer reads about 5 mph high at 20, 4 mph high at 30, 3 mph high at 40, 2 mph high at 50, 1 mph high at 60 and is finally correct at 70. It's a perfect linear relationship. I've verified this with a handheld field GPS as well as several phone apps. The tires have always been the stock size of 275/35R15.

I have a weird vibration only at freeway speeds. It's a vibration that lasts 3 seconds but are consistently 2-3 seconds apart.

The key thing about the vibration it's starts and goes away the starts and goes away?
View 14 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: 2009 - Subtle Stammer On Freeway At Speeds Between 50 And 80 Mph
Just bought certified preowned 2009 Prius from dealer. Never had one before. I did test drive it for 20 minutes before purchase. But on the way home from buying it today I noticed a constant and subtle "stammer," on the freeway at speeds between 50 and 80 mph, like as if the car was very slightly and frequently shifting in speed even though the accelerator was in a constant spot and the road was flat. I watched as the display constantly shifted, like many many times per minute, where and how power was being generated/used.

View 1 RepliesFord Excursion :: Odd Sound On Freeway While Pulling A Cargo Trailer
2000 7.3 180,000 miles. It sounded like I was in passing gear from the turbo but not as loud or strong. The tach never moved like it would if it was in passing gear. We kicked it in and out of overdrive, pushed the O/D, no change. Then while driving it would just go quite/back to normal. Oh forgot, this was while pulling a cargo trailer with a total weight of about 4,500 lbs...

I have a 2010 Prius no frills model with 5500 miles on it. I've started hearing a noise that sounds like loud burst of radio static. I hear it with the radio off or on. It's very intermittent, but seems to occur only at freeway speeds. Seems to be coming from underneath the shifter or underneath the dash in the same area.
View 2 RepliesFord Excursion :: Gear Grinding Type Sound When Driving Down The Freeway
I got new tires a few months ago and when the shop was putting them on they said the driver's side ball joints had a little wiggle in them. I've noticed it has gotten worse and I am going to change them prob next week. I am just going got do both sides while I have it torn apart. I have found some great info on how to do that. I also have noticed some ratcheting sounds from the drivers side hub when I start the truck and accelerate, and then it feels like there's a pop and the sounds goes away. Also if I flip on the 4x4 switch while there is the ratcheting sound it goes away. Is that just from a vacuum leak in the system? I don't know a whole lot about that, or what hoses are vacuum hoses etc.
I haven't really looked in the manual that much yet. My big question is this, I was driving down the freeway going about 70 when all of a sudden there was a gear grinding type sound, kinda like when you try to start a car that has already been started and the starter teeth make that grinding sound. Could it be that the axle has started to get some play from the ball joints getting worse and then it just reached the right RPM to cause a crazy vibration? Or could the 4x4 have a possible malfunction to where it tried to engage but the truck was going too fast? It hasn't happened again, but I have not gone 70 again either.
Toyota - 4runner :: 2002 Vehicle Developing Vibration At Freeway Speeds
I have a 2002 4Runner that has recently developed a vibration at freeway speeds. I purchased new tires about two months before the vibration started. I have been back to the place where I bought my tires and the assure me that they are balanced.
I have been dealing with this problem for the past couple of months and have been getting nowhere. When I took my 4Runner into the dealership to get the lower ball joint replaced I spoke with the service folks about the vibration problem and all I got in response was "we've never heard of that before".

View 2 RepliesCamry :: 2011 LE - Sloppy Feel To Steering Most Noticeable At Freeway Speeds
2011 Camry LE with what I would call a mushy or sloppy feel to the steering. It is most noticeable at freeway speeds and requires an almost constant driver input to maintain the car in my lane with slight corrections back and forth right and left. This is fatiguing on long drives. It feels like there is too much power steering assist at higher speeds, although an independent mechanic said he didn't think it has variable assist power steering. There is no pulling in one direction. Alignment has been checked and it's ok, and tires are balanced and properly inflated.
Strong wind or large trucks passing me cause me to struggle to maintain the car in it's lane. Toyota dealer mechanics and the Toyota rep checked it and gave me the "drives as designed" answer and that there is nothing wrong with it. I had an independent mechanic look it over and he said there is nothing wrong and that there is nothing that can be done to change the feel of the steering. It is hydraulic steering and not the electronic power steering. I have test driven other Camrys as well as Corollas and other makes of cars and they all drive with a more sure feel to the steering and I just want my Camry to drive like that.
