Default Car Problems and Issues (Front Right Tire)

Hey guys,

Been having a problem with my RX '03. Sometimes in either cold weather or rainy weather, when I am in drive and stopped completely, and then I go to accelerate, there is a vibration in the front right tire. It feels like it is slipping or something like that... It also makes a noise, like a groan/growl. Loud enough to hear. Any ideas what this could be?? Trying google i saw differential leak, but im not sure....


also while i was driving, the led came up on my speedometer, the one where the car has been hit? It's a yellow led. nothing happened, it just turned on, how do i turn it off?

Last question, when i had my car in for a state inspection, they told me my battery needed to be changed, because i guess there is some discharge from the battery leaking on the outside???? should i change the battery?? (98000 miles)...

Thanks for the help guys!

AWD or FWD? How are your tires condition? Check for a loose tie rod or wheel bearing

Burnt out tailight or brake bulb(s)

If it's original then replace it. I usually replace them at 4-5yrs.
