![]() ![]() Engine bucking is usually related to an engine misfire. I’m hoping the car doesn’t finally conk out at an intersection. When the car starts to buck, I have to play with the clutch and very slowly ease the car faster – not great when cars are coming at you. They said they can’t fix it if they don’t see it happen. I took it to the garage and drove it with them, but of course the car didn’t act up. This happens when trying to move from a stop or trying to go faster in first gear. My 2011 Hyundai Accent has recently started to randomly buck and make a banging noise. If the engine is running normally but the light comes on, perhaps drive it for a bit, then change the oil again. I have seen the valve train stick due to old or wrong grade oil and have misfire codes. It is important to use only 5W-20 weight and change it often. Also, these engines are very fussy when it comes to oil type. He wants to check the car out and change the solenoid which he said would cost about $500. According to him, four out of the eight cylinders shut down when the eco light comes on, but cylinder seven does not. I took it right back and he said the cylinder seven is still coming up as a misfire. I picked the car up and within a few miles the light came back on. He said the first thing he would do is change the oil, which was due anyway. A mechanic identified bad/dirty oil and a misfire on cylinder seven. According to the manual if it is not blinking it may reset after a few cycles of driving. The malfunction indicator light recently came on. I have a 2012 Chrysler 300C with 24,000 miles on it. Tesla also has stated that they will open up their Superstation to non-Tesla vehicles by year’s end, which will certainly help. I would also download all of the popular apps such as EVgo, ChargePoint, AAA, PlugShare and Electrify America. Most electric vehicles with navigation systems allow for easy searching of EV charging. Last year I drove back and forth to Florida and spotted many electric vehicles that were hundreds of miles from home, so it is certainly possible. We’re considering taking our new Hyundai IONIQ 5 to Florida this coming January, and I know we have to consider the location and availability of EV chargers along the way. You can find the podcast at or other popular podcast directories. Like the radio program these will include interesting guests, car reviews, and listener-submitted questions. I’m still continuing to add podcasts each week. Every week when I finished the program I would take the entire program and turn it into a podcast. The last station I was on, WBOQ, was sold to a large broadcaster. ![]() Where did you go and how can I get my Car Doctor fix? I’m a long-time listener who has won several cool prizes including a AAA membership.Ī. I tuned into your radio program and didn’t find the Car Doctor. ![]()
