What Owners Say
"The climate control system makes a loud clacking noise when I turn on the heat. Began in spring of 2023 when weather was cold and continues to this day. A previous car I had made a similar noise and it turned out a deflector in the system that diverts the air between the various vents would stick and was trying to free itself. I assume my current problem is the same thing. I havent had it fixed as Im afraid of what the cost would run and if they could get the dash back together so that you couldnt tell it had been taken apart. Also, on the old car with maybe the same problem, it never defrosted the windows correctly after it was fixed."

"PERIODICALLY THE CAR WOULD NOT START UNLESS JUMP STARTED. DEALER HAD CAR SEVERAL DAYS, DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ANOTHER REPAIR LOCATION HAD SAME RESULTS. BOTH SAID THE BATTERY WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. WE DECIDED TO GET A NEW BATTERY ANYWAY AND IT HAS STARTED EVER SINCE."
