Hello everyone, ive got few issues with my car, one of them is fuel economy, i constantly get 10mpg city and 16mpg highway, so who knows please tell me what can i possibly change to increase mpg,
The second issue is a big one, all started about a month ago, i drove in a city stopped on a red light and my car (seats, main console, steering wheel and etc) started vibrate, seats were shaking, i put my car on P position released brakes and all gone, put it on the D again and applied the brakes and car started to vibrate again, RELEASED the brakes and let it go without acceleration it was vibrating a bit (not as much as with brakes), WHEN CAR IS COLD (morning) IT WONT VIBRATE! i have this issue for the whole month and i couldnt find out what has happened and what causes this,
Two weeks ago my ABS light starts coming off on a dash, sometimes it stays there for a few seconds sometimes for few hours but its always gone if u turn off the car and turn it back on,
Yesterday, was driving back from work and ABS light was on, applied brakes on the intersection brake pedal got really tight and i could press it down for only like a half inch, and it stuck, released it next second and push it again., car stopped! And ABS light dissapered the same second i stopped, the same thing happend for like 3 times for only 10 mins of driving,
Today i drove about 50 miles and ABS was off and brakes were good,
So my question is: How do u think is it one problem (brakes and vibrating) or two separate issues?
I would aprecciate any advice, it really pisses me off to drive in a city when my car is shaking like crazy, i drive for few hours and then step out of the car im shaking like a zombie
