It’s constant whenever the car is on, and it changes pitch slightly when I accelerate. I’ve tried turning off the AC, radio, and all the vents, but it doesn’t go away.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My 2017 Civic’s check engine light came on last week, and the code reader says it’s a P0420 for catalyst efficiency below threshold. The weird part is I don’t notice any drop in power or rough idle, and my fuel economy seems normal. I’m just trying to understand if this is something that needs immediate, expensive attention or if I have some time to figure it out.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My 2016 Outback has started making a faint, high-pitched whine that seems to come from the dashboard area when I’m accelerating. It’s not the engine or the belts, and it completely goes away when I let off the gas. I’m worried it could be something with the electronic power steering system, but I can’t pin down where that noise is really coming from.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My 2016 Outback’s check engine light came on last week, and now the cruise control just won’t activate at all. The dash shows a “Cruise” light that blinks a few times when I press the button, then it goes out. I’ve read this can be a failsafe when there’s a stored fault code, but I’m not sure why the system would be completely disabled.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My 2017 Outback’s check engine light came on yesterday, and it’s running perfectly fine. I borrowed a basic scanner and the only code it’s throwing is P0420, which points to the catalytic converter. I’m just wondering if there’s anything else I should check before assuming that expensive part has gone bad.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My 2017 Focus has started making a faint but constant high-pitched whine that seems to come from behind the dashboard. It’s there with the key on, engine running or not, and it doesn’t change with the fan speed. I’m worried it might be a sign of a failing blower motor resistor, but I’ve never heard one make this kind of noise before.]]></description>
