It squeaked a LIL when i bought it but i came to found out people were driving it witht he emergence brake on once i took it off the squeaking STOPPED. YAY but today it started and its so bad now and also today the check engine light came on, im sad cuz i like my car why is it having all these issues what do you think is wrong with it?
One has nothing to do with the other, For the light -have it put on a scanner to get the codes.
The squeak may be a belt or pulley. Try some belt dressing first.
You probably need a brake job, your pads are worn out since they have been driving the vehicle with the emergency brakes on.Regarding the engine light you need to get it diagnosed by a mechanic.
I’d have the yellow check engine light error codes read out and start from there. Your computer knows a lot more about your car than you think! However, the error codes do not tell what’s wrong with the car. They only help the technician diagnose the problem.http://www.samarins.com/diagnose/checken…http://www.troublecodes.net/articles/myt…
too little information. take it to a good mechanic
The engine light does not come on with squeaking brakes! If it is the check engine light it may be a simple as the fan belt (or serpentine belt) If it is squeeling it is not powering the things that need to be spinning. So the things outside the engine are not getting the horsepower to spin the; A/C, power brakes, power steering, water pump, alternator and smog pump.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU GET YOUR VEHICLES COMPUTER SCANNED TO FIND OUT JUST WHAT THE PROBLEM IS FIRST SO THEN YOU WILL HAVE SOME IDEA WHAT IS WRONG AS WELL AS WHAT TO EXPECT.
TRY FINDING AN INDEPENDENT AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP INSTEAD OF THE DEALER OR ANY CHAIN STORE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OVERALL MORE PLEASED WITH THE PERSONAL SERVICE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE.
