Hi,
2000 es 178k on it...when I go in reverse, and slow down/stop, it sounds like I'm running over something or something is rolling around in the trunk. There's nothing back there, it's like a loud bump. I had a kind of similar issue when turning, it made a loud clicking/bumping sound. Took the car in and my mechanic said the rack and pinion was loose and fixed it.
2nd prob: starting issue. When I start up my car, it makes the car starting sound (I'm a girl) but it sounds very weak. It won't start up if I drive around, and stop for a few minutes, like getting gas/going to store, ect. But if I wait a few more minutes, it'll start up. The other day it wouldn't start but I got a jump and it was fine. BTW, all my lights come on/radio, ect. My BF checked the battery with something he has in the garage and said the battery was fine and the alternator was fine...
help me! Thanks! I think it's about time to retire my dear Crystal but I don't want to!!
