Hi guys,

Please check this sentence. "I have some issues with a claim or my car".

Lotus888, it's nice that you want to help out but we really like to give the OP a chance to spot their own mistakes and correct them. Let's see if tufguy can work out what he/she wrote incorrectly first.

I meant, can I say "I have issues with one of my claims" or "I have issues with my car".

Both those sentences are grammatically accurate. They mean different things.

What do they mean?

What do you think they mean? What did you mean when you wrote them? You have to stop expecting us to do your work for you.

You posted you have issues with "claims" and "car". These are obviously different.

I have issues with my friend(means we have some problem with each other). But when we say "I have issues with my claim or car" so, that means, we are facing some problem that needs to be solved.

"Having an issue/having issues" generally means "having a problem/problems with" regardless of the rest of the sentence. The nature of those problems would differ, of course, but the general meaning of "to have an issue" doesn't change.
