We can't do anything to help you diagnosis your car unless you tell us what you're driving. Year, model and engine would get the ball rolling.

I own a Bright Blue with Gray "cloth" interior 2000 Saturn SW2 twin cam manual trans. The engine is a 1.9L dual overhead cam with 124hp, and 122 ft pounds of torque. It has cc, ps, pb, pw, pm, pdl, air, tilt, abs, am/fm/cd, alloy wheels, sunroof, foglamps, intermittent wipers, rear window defrost, front and rear swaybars, rear spoiler, armrest center console, 60/40 folding rear seats, cargo net, cargo tray, carpeted front and rear factory floor mats, remote liftgate, dual front airbags, front and rear side airbags, tachometer, and more.

I bought this SW2 (station wagon) new at Saturn of Tempe in Tempe Arizona near I-10 and Elliot rd from Denny L. Who had been working there for 8 years at that time.

I tinted the windows all around at 20% including a 9 inch 15% tint strip on the windshield by American Pro Tint in Tempe Az. He also installed a clearbra clear paint protection kit on the front of the car including the entire hood, headlights, foglights, entire bumper, a pillers, first thrid of the front fenders, the guys at the dealer installed the custom black and chrome emblems. They also installed a factory roof rack. Oh and I bought a set of 17" MB MeshX wheels at Discount Tire. I still have those wheels and they do not have a mark on them.

The car just clicked 40,000 miles. About 20k city, and 20k hiway. I get an average of 35.8 miles per gallon hwy @75 mph. She does 26.9 mpg city. I change the oil every 5k with 5-30 Mobil-1. Best gas mileage came in at 43.2 miles per gallon on a road trip. I just put on a new set of 205/45X17 Falkin Ziex ZE912 tires, and had a full four wheel alignment. All done by Discount Tire in Tempe. Before Saturn of Tempe soldout, closed down, became a different brand dealer I went in and bought a lot of spare's to have on hand for the future. I bought rotors, pads, shoes, air as well as oil filters, new engine and trans mounts. The top or Torque Axis mount I bought three. I bought a front and rear set of struts with mounts, a spare ignition made up w/two new keys, four power window regulars along with all sorts of odds and ends that may be needed for window operation, I got another full set of floor mats, ac compressor, belts, hoses, I have an extra clutch, pp, throwout bearing set, and more. I bought all these parts because I knew I would keep this car forever.

So anyway I have a problem that I can't seem to figure out. It started about 11 days ago. I have checked every single thing I can think of. Can any of you guys tell me what I should do next, where I should look, what the problem might be, how to fix it, how much it might cost, and where to buy what ever I need.

PS: I've had to replace one top mount so far if that means anything.
