If you are under Warranty, then it is the Dealers job to fix it. What you need to check are the water lines coming out of the cabin area called a Firewall. Both heater hoses should be hot after the engine is hot and the heater is on.

If one of the heater hoses is lukewarm or cold, then the problem is the water is not going through the heater core. The core could be plugged or the heater controls which allow the water to flow are not turning on.

If both hoses are hot, then you have a ductwork problem inside the cabin. The heater core is hot because both hoses are hot, but the air is not flowing around the heater core box. This is why the air remains cold.

A mechanic should inspect the dash controls and ductwork flaps. It sounds like you need to go to a different Dealer on this. The first Dealer should have verified the repair before giving the car back to you. If you use the same Dealer, then the mechanics ID# should be on the repair records.

You should ask for a different mechanic.

SOURCE: how do i change brake fluid in my 2004 Hundai Accent

1st check the easy things, that would be the brake fluid level. If it's low, the light will go on. Next check the emergency brake, if it's on slightly, the light can come on. Your fluid should be changed when u have a brake job done, the light wouldn't be on for that, only if there is a problem w/ the system. Check this out asap, as it can be unsafe to drive. If adding fluid to the proper level results in the light going out, make sure to check the level daily to make sure u don't have a leak in the system (and u can look under the car for signs of a leak-drips stains puddles). As your brakes wear down, it is normal to have to add fluid, but only a small amount maybe a couple of times between brake jobs. If u have the brakes done in the future, have them flush out the brake system. This is overlooked most of the time, and can result in problems down the road w/ corrosion of calipers and brake cylinders, which lead to premature wear on the brake pads and shoes. Let me know how u make out.

Where is the egr on 2007 ford edge

What code do you have? The book shows that the 2007 3.5L engine doesn't use any EGR valve, newer engines are designed to run clean without the need for Exhaust Gas Recirculation valves. Also keep in mind the emission control system is covered under a 7 year or 70,000 mile federal warranty, longer in Calif.

Check engine light on and car is shaking

The vehicle may still be under warranty. If you are the original owner and the vehicle has less than 10,000 miles, it's STILL under warranty. If you are the 2nd owner, and has less than 60,000 miles, it's still under warranty. Take it in for warranty repair.

Does the 2007 hyundai accent GS hatchback have a "zero clearance" engine? if the timing belt breaks, will is cause severe damage to the engine?

No it will wipe out the valves.. usually all of the exhaust valves. Here is the interval for changing the timing belt on your Hyundai..
"Normal service replace every 60,000 miles or 48 months. Severe service replace every 40,000 miles or 48 months."

I would say very good possiblity to be the cv shaft or cv shafts but you might try a tune up first change out the spark plugs and spark plug wires if that hasn't been done in 30,000-40,000 miles.If you have the cv axle or axles changed you will have to have it realigned again.

Check engine light, geting screwed by dealer i think

replacing a thermostat cost about 20 bucks or less done yourself and as far as the oil leak check for loose valv cover bolts and manifold bolts. Dealerships are crooks they will sabotage a vehicle in a heart beat. Try this first.
