When I was driving my Toyota Yizhi with the CVT in D gear and stepped on the gas to 4000 RPM for overtaking, I suddenly felt a lack of power and then it sped up. They say this is the steel belt slipping, and driving like this can damage the transmission. I'm frustrated. What happens when the steel belt slips? Can any experts explain this?

If the slip indicator light and the 4WD light are constantly on, it usually indicates a potential issue with your vehicle's traction control or four-wheel-drive system. To turn them off, you can try the following steps: 1. **Check the vehicle's manual:** Refer to the owner's manual for specific guidance related to your vehicle model. 2. **Inspect the 4WD system:** Ensure the four-wheel-drive system is properly engaged or disengaged as required. 3. **Restart the vehicle:** Turn off the engine, wait a few minutes, and then restart to see if the lights reset. 4. **Check for error codes:** Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any error codes that might indicate the problem. 5. **Consult a professional:** If the lights remain on, it's advisable to visit a mechanic or authorized service center for further diagnosis and repair. Please note that these are general guidelines and the exact steps may vary depending on your vehicle make and model.

Complaint about the Volkswagen Lavida new energy vehicle. Major negative review: The battery lacks a cooling function. While charging at around 100A, the Lavida only charges at 28A to 30A at a fast-charging station, making highway driving really frustrating.

I parked my Territory in the mall's underground parking. After paying the parking fee and stepping on the gas to go up, it suddenly couldn't move. The car started shaking like "tut tut tut," and it felt like something was stuck in the front. The engine seemed to lack power.

Today, while driving, the engine warning light suddenly came on. No other lights were on, but I felt the engine trembling and it lacked power. After driving for about 150 meters, during idling at a red light, the engine vibration was quite noticeable. When the light turned green and I accelerated, the trembling became more pronounced and it lacked acceleration. I pulled over immediately, waited for about 10 minutes, and after restarting, everything was back to normal. I restarted a few times afterward and everything was fine. The last time I started the car, I drove a few kilometers home and it was normal too. Has anyone experienced this issue? Does anyone know what might be going on?

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?

Is the CVT in the Setus a steel chain or steel belt? The 7.99 version only lacks those two LED lights, right? It still uses halogen lights. I was initially considering the new TuYue 799 version, but when I saw that even the spare tire was downgraded, I was immediately discouraged. Now I'm looking at the Honda Binzhi and Setus. The Binzhi is 10,000 more expensive, so I'm considering the Setus. The only concern is why the headlights are still halogen.

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 the car for about a month now, and honestly, I feel like it's a great fit for younger drivers. The design is sporty, and the interior space turned out to be better than I expected, so I didn’t hesitate to go ahead and place the order. At first glance, the look is pretty standard — nothing too flashy — and the car sits lower than most other SUVs. So far, I’ve driven around 600 km. Fuel consumption is currently between 8.8 to 9 L/100 km, mostly city driving. I haven’t taken it on the highway much yet, but I believe the fuel economy will improve over time. Acceleration is quite strong — it uses the same engine as the Civic — though I don't push it hard often; I only tried flooring it once just to see how it feels. The rearview camera is clear, and I didn’t install a 360° system since I’m used to using the mirrors, but I might add it later — blind spots are always a risk. Friends and coworkers who sat in the back all said the space felt pretty good. What annoyed me the most is the infotainment system. Wireless CarPlay has a 1–2 second delay, which isn’t terrible but still noticeable. I’ve seen people online claim some versions have zero delay — not sure how true that is. The voice assistant is also a bit frustrating; it sometimes activates randomly in the middle of a conversation and starts talking out of nowhere! The horn also sounds cheap — one guy compared it to an electric scooter and honestly, I couldn’t agree more. Another weird thing: there’s no one-touch window up/down feature, which feels like a missed basic feature. And the sound insulation is weak — you can clearly hear wind and tire noise, especially at higher speeds. I usually end up turning up the music just to drown it out — maybe that's just typical for Japanese cars? Overall though, as my first car, I’m pretty satisfied. I don’t have much experience with other cars yet, so this is just my perspective. Hope it helps anyone considering this car — no offense intended to anyone!
