Problem Reports

One or more heater & AC (HVAC) temperature and/or air delivery mode door actuator may fail, resulting in improper temperature or air delivery. If this occurs, fault code(s) should be stored in the HVAC control module which should assist in diagnoses.

The trunk pull down switch may fail causing the trunk lid not to close completely. Our technicians tell us that the failed switch can be replaced without changing the complete pull down motor assembly.

Problems with anti-theft systems using the raised-chip key can prevent the car from starting. The wires in the steering column to the ignition lock cylinder tend to break. The key and ignition lock cylinder should be replaced to correct this condition.

The air conditioning compressor may become noisy or develop a refrigeration leak, requiring replacement.

It is common for the fuel level sensor in the fuel tank read the fuel level incorrectly. The sensor must be replaced to correct the condition. Our technicians recommend having the complete fuel pump module replaced on high mileage vehicles.

The EGR control solenoid or EGR valve may fail causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate.

Fuel injectors can short-circuit electrically causing a rougher than normal idle and reduced performance.

This powertrain control module (PCM) may develop a fault with its electrical ground location at the front of the engine block near the starter motor.
