What's wrong with my car? - 1

I have a 2004 Honda civic 5 speed manual and I noticed on a 2 hour road trip that my steering wheel was shaking, at about 60 mph, and heard something rattling. I pulled over and my lug nuts were loose on the drivers side wheel, i tightened them and it felt fine, for then at least. The same thing happened on a highway near my house (where the lug nuts were loose on the same wheel.) but now the steering wheel is very shaky at 45 mph and up but when I check the lug nuts and they're tight. I'm not sure what the problem is and I'm gonna take it in to a shop soon. I want to know if anyone here can give me an idea of what could be wrong because at first i thought it was a stripped lug nut or even the post or something but I'm not sure anymore.

Added (1). any good places that you recommend i could take it to?

We're all just guessing at this point. Driving with the wheel loose causes excessive wear of the bolt holes. It may be necessary to replace the rim to fix this. Take it to a tire shop and have them repair/replace faulty items.

  • What's wrong with my car's brake pedal? I noticed something a week after I bought this used Honda car (the dealer I trust a lot). It only happens when I'm driving very slow on a side street, when stopping at a stop sign… When I push down on the pedal, the pedal goes down but I hear and feel a slight click before I push it all the way down. So it happens halfway as I'm pressing on the brake. It stops perfect and no break issues. Any ideas what this is?
  • What's wrong with my car? I have an automatic honda accord 92. It just today like maybe 30 minutes ago started making this sound. It's when I change gears from park to reverse. Or park to drive. Or whatever gear. It sounds like the transmission is slapping the engine. It sounds like it is about to break. I've heard it's I need transmission fluid. What could this be?
  • What is wrong with my car? The 'S' light is on? My 91 Honda Accord has the 'S' light on and it is in a constant rev between 3 and 4, I drive the car in D4 gear, if I drive it like a stick and start in gear 1 the rev will go down when i switch to gear 2 but not when i switch to gear 3 or 4
  • What is wrong with my car's brakes? When I was driving my car today, I noticed that I was having trouble stopping. The car doesn't brake at all until the pedal is to the floor. The brakes seemed a little "soft" yesterday, but I didn't think anything of it. They were perfectly fine 2 days ago. I drive a 2000 Honda Accord with 2 disc and 2 drum brakes. I had my tires rotated 3 days ago. Could something have happened then?
