Car won't start but lights and radio still work

Has anyone else had their car refuse to start even though the headlights, dashboard lights and radio are still working normally?

When turning the key or pressing the start button, the engine may click, struggle to turn over, or do nothing at all.

Can the battery still be the problem even when the lights work, or is this more likely to be the starter, battery terminals, ignition system, or another electrical issue? What turned out to be the problem with yours?

Car AC blowing warm air instead of cold

Has anyone else had their car air conditioner suddenly start blowing warm air instead of cold?

The fan still works and air comes through the vents normally, but it doesn't get cold like it used to. Sometimes the AC may cool slightly while driving but becomes warm again when stopped or idling.

What usually causes this low refrigerant, a leak, compressor problem, condenser fan, or an electrical issue? What turned out to be the problem with yours?

Car shakes when braking at highway speeds

Has anyone else experienced their car shaking or vibrating when braking at higher speeds?

The vibration is most noticeable through the steering wheel when slowing down from highway speeds, while normal driving feels fine. What are the most common causes brake rotors, tires, suspension components, or something else?
