Click or Pop Heard From Rear of Vehicle When Clutch Released

Electronic entry system may stop working
The electronic entry system may stop working. Our technicians tell us that the entry module should be replaced to correct this issue.
Revised PCM software available for intermittent hesitation
Our technicians tell us that there is a Powertrain Control Module software update to correct an intermittent hesitation between 4,000 & 5,000 RPM, or engine spark knock when using 91 octane gasoline.
LDP failure due to carbon from vapor canister
Leak detection pump failure can be caused by the internal diaphragm switch sticking, or in some cases, contamination from debris or carbon particles from vapor canister. If black carbon particles are present in the LDP, replace vapor canister in addition to LDP. The purge solenoid should also be checked for debris or carbon contamination and replaced as necessary. All evap system hoses are subject to cracking and splitting causing leaks, Inspect hoses carefully. In cases of contamination from carbon particles or debris, all hoses and tubes must be blown out with compressed air to remove contaminates.
Instrument panel backlighting may flicker when dimmer in 1/2 position
The instrument panel backlighting may flicker most noticeably when the dimmer is set in the 1/2 position. Our technicians tell us that a revised panel dimmer switch module is available to correct this condition.
