Camry :: Shaking While Braking On A Downhill At Highway Speed 60mph?

My 2002 v6 camry is shaking while braking on a downhill at highway speed 60mph. This started yesterday. Afterwards on level surface and lower speed no shaking. Late yesterday, again on highway downhill, more shaking.

I live on a mountain and do not notice the shaking coming down at 30mph, including yesterday.

A couple of months ago the pads were 75% and the rotors were resurfaced approx 4000 miles ago. And the rotors are the third pair if i remember correctly.

I bought the car new and it has 121000 miles on it.

Touareg :: Sounds Like Sand Is Hitting The Windshield When Traveling At Highway Speed

I know this will sound strange, but starting the other day, I notice that it sounds like sand is hitting my Treg windshield when traveling at highway speed. At first I thought it was coming from the truck in front of me, so I passed him, and it didn't stop. It is just about all the time now, and I cannot imagine what is causing this noise.

It is not incredibly annoying, but how will I know when I am being pelted by real sand? Any clues out there? With 48,000 miles on it, there is not much time left to get it under warranty.

Lexus :: Power Loss On Highway When Traveling At 80 MPH

The other night around 11pm my car lost power on the highway. I was traveling 80 MPH. The RPMs would not stay up no matter how much I pumped the gas pedal. The car did not die though. I would hold an idle, but felt like it was missing a little.I had the car towed to my hotel. Two days later I tried to drive the car to a mechanic. The car started up fine. It drove for about300 ft and stopped moving again. The car did not die and would hold the idle.Towed to the mechanic. It sat over a Monday holiday in his lot. On Wednesday I called to see how it was coming on the car. They put it on the computer and the only thing that came up was an engine misfire. They have been driving the car for 2 days with no incident.They have not done anything to the car as they don't want to throw money or parts at it not knowing what the car is doing. Feels like a fuel restriction but it idles. Stalling Lexus IS300...

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Clunk / Vibration When Traveling At Highway Speeds

I'm a mechanic but work only on cars so I'm a little shy on diagnosing trucks. I have a 2001 7.3 f250 4x4 short bed, when I give it gas I can hear a clunk, when I let off of the gas I also hear a clunk. Also when traveling at high way speeds I can feel a strong vibration when I very lightly give it gas but the vibration goes away as I give it more gas.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Losing Power When Traveling At Steady Throttle And Engine Speed

Diagnosing our 2006 Hyundai Sonata.....2.4 L engine....automatic.

While cruising along, about 40mph and up I guess...when traveling at a steady throttle and engine speed... if you ever so slightly give it more gas, sometimes it will act as though it is losing power for a second and then kick back in.....but revs will stay up....

I was thinking either throttle position sensor or (gasp) transmission.....it doesn't really feel like a slipping tranny....but wondering if it is issues with the overdrive...

Dodge - Charger :: Passenger Front Wheel Shaking / Bouncing At Highway Speed

My wife has a 2008 Dodge Charge SXT with the 3.5. The front passenger wheel is "shaking/bouncing" at highway speed, but only when turning that direction on a curve. It doesn't do this when turning left. We had the tires replaced, because that was the suggested fix because the tire was "chopped". They were at end of life anyway, past the ware bar. But it didn't work and it seems to be getting worse. One mechanic said he thought it was the wheel hub, another said tie rod. I replaced both front tie rod ends after the passenger one fell out about 18 months ago.

Camry :: 2006 Toyota Surges At Any Speed / Loss Of Power - Code P0420

Symptoms:
-Car "Surges" at any speed. Loss of power is significant.
-Check engine light is on , DTC code = P0420

Tried:
-Fuel injector cleaner
-Spark plugs replaced around 40k miles ago
-Checked for leaking valve cover gasket (oil in plug wells) None

Can a clogged fuel filter cause this? At idle the car is fine, the symptoms seem to only occur when car is under load (In drive). My son drove this car an it always seemed empty meaning he never put much gas in it.

Toyota - Echo :: AC Fan Does Not Blow Out Adequate Air At Highway Speed

My wife's 2002 Toyota Echo with 205,000 original owner miles on it has a problem where the AC fan does not blow out adequate air at highway speeds. When you put the selector switch to get the maximum airflow and have the fan on high speed, you can HEAR it blowing out but the air coming out of the vents is minimal. It's hot in FL but the car gets excellent mileage so we take it in lieu of our 2008 Tundra.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: ABS And ECS Dash Lights Keep Turning On When Traveling On Highway Speeds

I've been having a problem which i cant seem to find the fix for. My ABS and ECS dash light keep turning on. Its intermittent and does not stay on. Ive noticed that it usually happens if I travel at highway speeds for more than 15miles. I had the brakes x4 changed 1 year ago and all brake pads show good life. Brake fluid is at a good level with no leaks to be seen. I am wondering if its one of the sensors? How can one check for that? I have a 2006 3.3l GLS with 86k.

Toyota - Rav4 :: 2003 - Vibration From Steering Wheel At Highway Speed After New Tires

2003 Toyota RAV4, approx 130K.

A month ago I put a new set of Goodyear tires on my RAV. I drive on the highway 35-40 miles each way to and from work every day. Immediately after the new tires go on, I notice a vibration from the steering wheel at highway speed, above 60 mph. I took the car back to the tire shop (an independent tire shop, not a chain) and asked them to rebalance the tires. They did, and I took the car home. Drive to work the next day, vibration is worse. Next day, my dad and I switch cars so he can take it in. The tire shop says the front end alignment is off, and adjusts it. Small improvement, but vibration is still there.

I took it in for the 3rd time this weekend, and they swap the front and back tires at my request, thinking this might isolate the problem. The shop also checks my struts and says they are ok. (I don't even know what struts are, but apparently they are ok.) Now the vibration has moved out of the steering wheel and is coming from the rear and the floor. It does not happen when I apply the brakes or am on city streets. What this would be? Bad tire or tires? Something else going on altogether? What should I ask them to do?

Jeep - Cherokee :: 2000 Suddenly Jolts With A Loud Bang When Traveling On Highway At 65 - 70 MPH

I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Classic with 214,000 miles on it. Ok......this hasn't happen too often, but scares the CRAP outta me when it does.The other day, it happened twice. Traveling on the highway, 65 - 70 MPH, the car suddenly jolts with a loud BANG!I've had the transmission fluid flushed.Each time I go in for service at my local garage, I have them check ALL the fluids. They never find anything. And are at a loss as to what it could be. They've dropped the pan and found nothing wrong with the transmission. No metal in the fluid. They've check the rear diff. Still nothing. I've gone about a year without the issue until this past Monday when it happened twice. I'm a little paranoid to go faster than 60 - 65 right now.

Camry 2012+ :: ECO Light Come On Mostly On Highway When Reached Certain Speed

How "ECO" mode actually works?

When I first got my new 2012 Camry, I noticed ECO light would come on mostly on the highway when I reached certain speeds, and seemed to come on more when I had air conditioning on.

However, now it seems more often the ECO light is on all the time, even when I come to a complete stops. Just wondering if this is normal or do I need to take it in to be checked out or what?

I know ECO mode works with speeds and air conditioning. I do notice when ECO light comes on, the AC doesn't seem to be as cold.... I want my AC working as cool as possible!!! It's constantly over 100 degrees here in San Antonio in the summer.
