Common Problems, Issues, Recalls, and Reliability

  • Problem With Idle Air Bypass Valve May Cause Engine Performance Problems

    If you experience difficulty starting the engine when cold, stalling at idle, or hesitations during acceleration, it may be the idle air bypass valve . This valve helps the vehicle idle steady when the accelerator pedal is not pressed.

  • Engine Oil Pan Gasket May Leak

    The engine oil pan gasket can develop a leak. Leaking oil may accumulate on the exhaust system resulting in a burning smell. Replacing the gasket should correct this leak.

  • Blown/Cracked Head Gasket Can Cause White Smoke From Exhaust

    White smoke coming from the exhaust could indicate that a head gasket has blown or there is a cracked cylinder head . Our technicians tell us that removal and inspection of the cylinder heads will be required to confirm a crack is present.

  • Loose/Worn Inner Tire Rod Ends Can Cause Steering/Tire Wear Problems

    While steering, if you hear a clunk or a rattle, or if you experience premature tire wear, this could indicate the inner tie rod ends are loose or worn and will require replacement.

  • Worn Motor Mounts Can Damage AC Hoses

    Worn motor mounts can cause the motor to rise during acceleration, causing a clunking noise and possibly damaging the AC hoses. Damage to the AC hoses can cause a loss refrigerant resulting in no cold air from the AC. The motor mount will need to be replaced prior to repairing the damaged hose or the problem will continue.
