
A fluid leak under the vehicle (However, water dripping from the air
conditioning system after use is normal.)

Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monox-
ide leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system
checked immediately.)

Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire
wear

Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road
