Driving over speed bumps at 60 km/h can indeed have an impact on your car. It might cause stress to the suspension system, tires, and potentially the alignment. It's always best to slow down for speed bumps to avoid any potential damage.

I've had the top-end version of the Venucia Star for a year, and I've driven 4800 kilometers. Now I've noticed that when going over those really low speed bumps on highways, the rear end sways, with noticeable lateral movement at the back. (Speed is under 60, and ESP is automatically on.) Do you guys have the same issue?

Why isn't there a video explaining regenerative braking and single-pedal mode in electric vehicles? Many people are new to these features. Regenerative braking is also found in some petrol cars, like my Audi A6L. I once lost focus while going over a speed bump. My foot was on the accelerator, but the regenerative braking caused the car to slow down noticeably. I saw the bump was too high and wanted to brake, mistakenly thinking the current deceleration was from the pedal under my foot. I pressed down, but it was the accelerator, causing the car to surge forward. Luckily, there were no other vehicles on the road, or I might have panicked and caused an accident. I don't think I'm the only one with this experience. It seems similar to several reported Tesla brake failure incidents.

Has anyone experienced the same issue with the 2016 Jeep Renegade? When driving at speeds of 60-80 km/h over manhole covers or bumpy roads, the rear end feels loose (swaying side to side). The car hasn't been in any accidents, the rubber bushings seem fine, and the wheel alignment data is normal.

Hey car enthusiasts, does your KIA Pegas have the rear end wiggle when going over speed bumps or uneven roads while turning? My car is pretty stable at 120 on the highway, but when taking a turn and encountering such conditions, the rear seems to wiggle a bit. I've done the wheel alignment, but it doesn't seem to help.

How should the 86 handle speed bumps and humps? Is the impact significant? [covering face]

To replace the dust cover on the gear lever of a 2018 manual transmission ZS, follow these general steps: 1. **Remove the Gear Knob:** First, unscrew or pull off the gear knob, depending on its attachment method. 2. **Detach the Dust Cover:** Carefully pry off the trim panel around the gear lever to access the dust cover. This might require a trim removal tool to avoid damaging the panel. 3. **Remove the Old Dust Cover:** Once the trim is removed, you'll see how the dust cover is attached. It might be clipped or screwed in place. Remove any fasteners and take off the old cover. 4. **Install the New Dust Cover:** Position the new dust cover in place, ensuring it's aligned correctly. Secure it with the clips or screws you removed earlier. 5. **Reattach Trim Panel:** Pop or screw the trim panel back into place around the gear lever. 6. **Reattach Gear Knob:** Finally, screw or push the gear knob back onto the lever. Note: These steps are a general guide. It's always best to refer to the vehicle's manual or consult a professional for specific instructions related to your car model.

I have a 2017 automatic model with 50,000 kilometers on it. Recently, I've noticed three particularly obvious issues: 1. When starting at traffic lights, even with light acceleration, I can hear the engine howling. The fuel consumption spikes to 19.9, the engine revs up to 2000 RPM, but the acceleration is very slow. 2. When driving home from work and going up the parking ramp, I often find that even with the gas pedal pressed, there's no power. The RPM goes up to 3000, and the fuel consumption also spikes. 3. Occasionally, when starting the car, it will shake and then stall by itself. Overall, driving at speeds between 0-40 is uncomfortable, but things improve above 60, especially on the highway. Acceleration and overtaking are fine at higher speeds. It's quite frustrating. Is anyone else experiencing the same issues?

I had the chance to try out the new Toyota Corolla, the 1.2T Elite version. Honestly, there aren’t many changes in the design compared to the previous generation, but I thought I’d share my thoughts anyway. The engine performance isn’t particularly strong — 116 horsepower on a car this size is just acceptable. But when you push it and let the RPMs climb, it actually feels better than expected. It’s not slow, and it feels lighter than I thought it would. The CVT gearbox is smooth and decent overall, although at low speeds there are some light vibrations and a bit of drag when you lift off the throttle. When you demand sudden acceleration, it takes a little time to reach the higher revs, but it’s not annoying. The suspension handles big bumps well, but you can feel smaller imperfections in the road, especially at lower speeds. On curves and sharp turns, the car holds itself pretty well and stays composed — that was a nice surprise. The steering is great. It’s light at low speeds and firms up nicely as you go faster. The response is smooth and precise, and the brakes are easy to get used to and feel very natural — no issues there. Noise insulation is average. Wind noise is handled well, and the engine isn’t too loud, even at high RPMs — that’s actually better than the hybrid version. But road noise does come through at higher speeds, and ambient noise isolation is just okay. Inside, the design hasn’t changed much — it still feels quite basic. The materials aren’t great; most of the interior is hard plastic. The screen and instrument panel haven’t been upgraded like in the 1.5 or hybrid versions. The infotainment system is slow and outdated — not what you'd expect in a 2024 model. Front seating is fine — you can adjust the driver’s seat to a comfortable low position and the steering wheel aligns well with it. The back seats, however, aren’t great. The space is average, the seatback is a bit upright, and the cushion isn’t very long. The trunk, on the other hand, is decent and handles luggage well. In terms of safety features, you do get useful tools like radar and driving assist, but there’s no rear parking sensor — which is strange. Overall, the car isn’t lacking in features, but the priorities feel a bit off. In the end, this car doesn’t really surprise you — and that might actually be a good thing for people who prefer something reliable and familiar. It’s not futuristic, but if you’re after dependability and ease of use, it could still be a smart choice — especially with how crowded the market is becoming with hybrids and EVs. Ultimately, it depends on your needs and your budget at the time of buying.

I’ve had my Nissan Sunny for nearly 7 years now, and from personal experience, I can tell you it’s one of the best cars for someone who’s just learned to drive or wants a simple, reliable vehicle. It’s incredibly easy to drive—compact in size but not cramped inside. You can slip it into any tight spot without overthinking, and the interior space is actually comfortable, especially in the back. It’s clearly designed with families in mind. Its exterior design isn’t flashy, and a lot of people criticize how it looks—but I see that as part of the car’s philosophy. It’s meant to be a practical car, not something for show. If you want a car that turns heads, you can look elsewhere. Personally, I wanted something that would last and make life easier—not something to brag about. Over these seven years, aside from regular maintenance, I haven’t had any major issues. Just a few small things that came up with time—like the driver’s side window switch no longer working automatically, so now I just roll it up manually. Also, in 2020, the original battery finally gave out, which was expected—and honestly, it lasted longer than I thought it would. Some people say it’s not safe enough, but honestly, I had a minor accident once—got hit by another car—and the Sunny didn’t suffer serious damage, and no one got hurt. That’s what matters most. Sure, it doesn’t come with loads of safety features, but for its price, you can’t expect top-tier specs. I’m not someone who drives fast—I’ve never gone over 120 km/h—so the car has always been stable for me, with no issues. The cabin gets a bit noisy at higher speeds, but that’s normal for this class and hasn’t impacted my overall experience. The engine isn’t powerful, but it gets the job done and gets me where I need to go without stress.
