What is wrong with my car? - 1
I drive an automatic 2010 ford focus sedan, a few nights ago, i hit a massive pavement swell, and it scraped the bottom of my car right underneath the drivers side. It seemed like everything was fine but the first time i tried putting it in reverse and applying gas it started making a low rumbling/grinding sound, and it only starts after a fair amount of torque. My friend checked it out for me he said, the transmission fluid is fine, the steering in both reverse and drive works fine, the gears shift smoothly, they don't slip there's nothing wrong with the axle, the clutch doesn't drag, it seems like nothing is wrong at all until you put some torque on the reverse gear and it starts making the sound, its not at all normal. It hasn't been getting any worse either.
Sounds like you bent a axel or messed up a cv joint jack it up a spin tire watch the axel spin it should spin true you'll be able to see if it don't the reason it does it with torque is it under a load
- What can go wrong from a car sitting a few months? My car has been sitting in my grandparent's carport for a few months. I tried to jump start it today, the lights turned on and all the electronic stuff worked but it wouldn't start. Do I just need to try again or could it be the starter or something? It's a 1998 Ford Taurus.

- What's wrong with my car? Whenever I'm on my brakes and I move my foot off my car revs up and try's to speed forward almost like I'm using the gas pedal. I have a 2006 ford fusion.
- I need some opinions on what may be wrong with my car? I have a 2000 Ford Focus ZX3. Anytime I let off of the acceleration, there's sort of a rumbling/growling/humming type of noise. I've had a few people tell me that it might be the cv joints, but from what I've read those are more likely to make clicking sounds, and I haven't encountered that at all. I'm just not sure what the deal is and I'd really appreciate some opinions.
