With my engine I have taken my car in for an oil change on time since I've got the car. Than right before one oil change I hear a knock in the engine. So I get an oil change again and it was still making this noise. Following that my air circulation for the fan would stop working at times. My radio electric line seems damaged. Works sometimes.

For several months, the indicator lights in the vehicle have been randomly coming on for one ting or another. The air bag light comes on as well as the engine light. At one point, the gas gauge indicates that the tank in about empty when we have just filled the tank half of the way. Being senior citizens, it is difficult to get a diagnosis on the car without paying beyond your budget, or getting the repairs done. Also the power steering freezes up while driving sometimes.
