Problem #1:
So I’ve noticed a clunking when I go over sharp bumps or uneven road conditions (think roots under the pavement) at low speeds, such as in a parking lot. The noise is only under the front left tire well area, and the car drives smooth and great otherwise. Is it a bad joint? The closest dealership is over an hour away, so I want to make sure I’m driving there with a real reason. Any ideas? The MDX has about 130K, transmission is great, and new timing belt, so I’m scared it’s some sort of axel/joint problem…
Problem #2:
The check emissions light came on about two days ago. I have filled up since, but it hasn’t gone away. There is not a smell from the exhaust, and there is no rattling. Gas mileage hasn’t changed one bit either! What could it be?? The car has been restarted quite a few times, but the light comes on each time. So confused!
