Tranny recall done and other service
Had my tranny recall done. They also changed my tranny fluid as appeared to be turning brown. The dealer also replaced my whole driver's seatback because there was a slight bulge just below the seatback lever on the side that allows access to the backseat. Dealer said it was warped. Members may want to check. Also replaced the wipers again and did another update because of the streaking under warranty. 4th time. But it saves me from paying for new blades. Replaced power steering reservoir as it was leaking. I noticed residue under the pump when detailing the engine. Air condtioner still has a funny noise that I think is not the fan or or NORMAL compressor noise. They couldn't duplicate it. ONLY happens when car is in drive and car is stopped. Seems like an intermittent grinding.More obvious when fan is on low to eliminate that noise. Maybe paranoia. ANY IDEAS on the air conditioner?

10-4 on the AC noise. I have that as well. I decided not to bring it in to the dealer for that. I'm sure they won't be able to duplicate it and it doesn't seem to cause a loss in cooling the car.

I've also got that tumor growing under the seat latch. I've never met the new service manager since Brian left. Were they receptive about replacing the seat back or did you have to force the issue???

I have a 2001 with 35,000 miles almost 4 years old; there is a service bulletin for wiper streaking which I have done 4 times. It always come back, though. I got a feeling it may just be the blades not the tubing.

Mine does. My 2001 did too.
I think maybe your dealer is fishing for some unnecessary work to be done.

The service rep used the word "warped."

hey artwork, do you have the sound ONLY when the A/C is on?? Because I have a similar type sound that used to be only when the A/C was on, but now it's worse. It pretty happens all the time. It's SO DAMN irritating!

Has anyone had their air conditioner compressor fail? Were there any early warning signs of failure like a strange vibration or noise that seemed strange but didn't seem to affect the cooling effectiveness?

There is a squeaking sound from the pully when i put the a/c on. you can't hear it from inside the car with the windows closed but it is very noticeable from outside. The sound is coming from the crank pully. by the way, i do have UR pullies so I wonder if the aftermarket pully is causing the sound. The sound stops as soon as i turn off the a/c.
