Obviously decreasing of power
●
Strange engine noises
●
A leak under the vehicle (however,
water dripping from the air conditioning
after use is normal.)

indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide
leak. Drive with the windows opened
and have the exhaust system checked
immediately.)
●
Flat-looking tire; excessive tire squeal
when cornering; uneven
tire wear
●
Vehicle pulls to one side when driving
straight on a level road
●
Strange noises related to suspension

Loss of brake effectiveness; spongy
feeling upon brake or clutch petal; pedal
