Overheating can result from a variety of issues, including a coolant leak, a failing water pump, a clogged radiator or a malfunctioning thermostat. It could also be due to low coolant levels or a problem with the cooling fan. If your vehicle overheats frequently, it’s essential to have it checked immediately to avoid severe engine damage. Driving a car that is overheating can cause the engine to seize, leading to expensive repairs or complete engine replacement.

Shaking during acceleration can be caused by several mechanical issues. Common causes include misaligned or unbalanced wheels, worn-out motor mounts or issues with the drivetrain, such as a damaged CV joint or axle. It could also be due to problems with the suspension system. If your car shakes or vibrates when accelerating, it’s a sign that something is not functioning correctly. Promptly having the issue diagnosed by a mechanic can prevent further damage and ensure your vehicle's smooth performance.

A squealing noise when starting your car is often caused by a loose or worn-out belt, such as the serpentine belt or the alternator belt. As these belts age, they can lose tension or develop cracks, causing them to slip when the engine starts, which results in the high-pitched squeal. Another potential cause could be the belt tensioner or pulleys that guide the belt. It’s important to have the belts inspected and replaced if necessary, as worn belts can lead to further mechanical issues like alternator failure or overheating.
