Check the roundness on the rear tires look for a hump in the tire.
Or check your rear suspension for a worn strut or loose connection. If you can put the cars rear frame on jack stands with the wheels off the ground normally laying on your back to slid under and check it out will tell the story. The rear just floats back there and is not connected to any thing from the engine or transmission. Turn the wheels the tire could have shifted a belt. You will see a high spot.

I hear and feel a thump when accelerating too fast from a stop. No thump if starting slowly. No problems accelerating once car is going. What could be causing this? Thump seems to be in the rear.

Transmission mounts are worn out and most likely your motor mounts too. Pretty straight forward job to replace but sometimes the bolts holding the motor mounts will be stuck requiring an impact wrench. Problem is that there is no room to get the impact near these bolts making a lift necessary.

2005 ford escape 4x4... when i take off there is a thumping in rear passenger side tire. only at 15 miles per hour then stops and when breaks are applied and have to go from stop to start.

Jack up rear end and spin the wheel with your hand. Check for any types of distortions in the tyre and replace if necessary.

Check tightness of wheel nuts.

Check operation of rear brake.

Check for free play in rear wheel bearing.

Check condition of drive shaft and coupling.

The Check Engine light, VSC light, and Trac light on my 2005 Scion XB came on after a journey of appoximately 200 miles. Should I be concerned about this, as I have a 500 mile drive to make in 3 days.

On these cars and Toyotas also, if the engine computer sees an emissions problem, it will illuminate all of these lights. As long as the check engine light isn't flashing and it's not running funny, you should be ok to finish your trip. Keep in mind the traction control may not work if you were to get into a situation where it could be helpful. Recommend checking the gas cap to be sure it is tight, it should click 3 times minimum.

Check engine light came on today honda accord v6 2003 at 97k miles. car makes a thump sound when put into reverse hot or cold. sometimes when i turn and accelerate i can reproduce this feeling moving...

Take your car to a mechanic or your local auto parts superstore and have them read/scan the codes for the reason for the check engine light. A good place to start.
