I purchased it in 2007 with 46,000 miles. Until 11/10, I drove only city miles; 5-10 miles a day. In 11/10, I moved & I now drive highway miles. There's a clicking sound every time I press my brakes that lasts until I come to a complete stop. The heating blows cold, the ac blows hot; the oil light keeps coming on when I know I have oil in the car; there was a loud, bubbling sound as I was idling at a red light. Any ideas what might be wrong or what it would cost to fix? In august 2010 I got all new brakes, rooters, brake pads, etc. But I feel like they're grinding. Is it possible I need new brakes again?

Love the site :-)

Multiple problems

Clicking: Could be the caliper assy/brake pads/driveaxles/suspension components inspect it, oil light coming on could be the oil pressure switch, oil pump and engine bearings.

Heater blows cold-check thermostat, heater core and air blend door-

AC Hot: No freon-start here

Thank you for your quick reply! Do you think it is worth fixing? Or should I scrap this car?

Dunno if its worth keeping it-I'm sorry-I'm not there to assess the problems. The oil light concerns me-try having the oil pressure check to rule the oil pressure switch, oil pump and engine bearings-The rest of your problem could be just minor stuffs
