The vehicle (where a record says)

A record is under an engine, a drive or a series only where it says so: the characters of the vehicle identification number filed with a complaint, its text, or what its document says it applies to. A record that does not say is kept as "not stated". The filed numbers and the documents do not tell 4WD from AWD.

Common on this vehicle:NoiseVibration or shudderLeakGauge or instrument faultSteering effort changeLoss of engine power, no accelerationReduced brakingAir conditioning or heater

Record by record

26 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.

Symptom

Component named as the cause

Work done

How it is said to have ended

  • says it was fixed1
  • says it did not fix it2
  • result not stated17

A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

    Power Steering Pump Whine Noise

    1. 1Fault

      • Owners may report a whine noise that normal diagnostics trace to the power steering pump, most commonly heard between idle and 2000 rpm.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes
