Can anybody provide tips on how to clean or remove clog from the AC water pan? The symptom is water dripping all over the driver and passenger floor carpet after the AC has ran for a few minutes, or pretty soon on humid or rainy days. I would like to solve this myself without having to take the car to the "stealer". My wife works at a plant that is located on a campus where Cement plants are located too. My theory is that mud and cement has clogged the hose that provides relieve for the water extracted by the AC from the cabin, and accumulated on some secret pan that I have no idea where it may be. The water dripping becomes critical when I turn left or right.
Any advise?
If I send you a free Cabin air Filter would you take pictures of you installing same?
Let me know information requested, we might be able to help each other.
Thanks,
The front ones are a cake walk but for the back ones
you just about have to pull the intake to get to them
Each coil pack is held down with a 10mm bolt
The dealership wants a war-pension to change them

or had one replaced

Hope this helps - let us know how the service goes for you.
For about the past 15-20,000 miles, i feel like whenever I hit a pothole, the car goes into it, makes a very loud "THUMP" noise, and comes back out. The feeling is very hard, Its like the whole car drops right into the pothole and comes out.
I dont know how else to explain this issue, but I have taken it to many car mechanics and none could see anything wrong. Just wondering whether anyone else is experiencing such issues or has any ideas as to what maybe wrong. Thanks.
If this occurrence is always connected to filling the tank, then the evaporative emissions system is the place to look IMO. Purge valve, purge solenoid, loose hoses somewhere, that kind of thing....could even be a bad gas cap.
This car, which I bought new, has only 40K miles on it, mostly from city and suburban driving. I have done all the required maintenance on it. Otherwise the car is in top shape.
Could this be a CV Joint problem? The noise is definitely not a clicking noise, normally given as a sure symptom of bad CV joints. What else could that be?
I sure would appreciate a comment from Forum members.

Also, the rear suspension is not "smooth" and kinda bumpy when I first start the car in the morning, but after warmed up it is fine.
Thanks
The grinding noise did not go away. However, in the past couple of days, the weather warmed up to about 72 F in the afternoons, and that resulted in the noise of getting so low that it became almost non-existent!! I wonder if that is a clue as to the nature of the problem. I hope the problem is not a wheel bearing as suggested by #376, because that is an expensive repair, and the car is not covered
by a warranty.
I would like to say that this is a wonderful forum to have so many helpful members here, I just want to thank you!

I took it to the dealer, but they couldn't duplicate it because it wasn't that cold that day. I am afraid something bad will happen while I am driving on the highway.
I will take it back to the dealer down the road when it is cold. My warranty expires in 2010, so I have sometime...
By the way, does anyone know this car OEM front struts are Tokikos? I replaced them with Kyb-Gr2 ones. The ride is much smoother on highway and less choppy to run over the bumps.
I am wondering if anyone has had this problem...

"Bad bearings will be a low rumbling sound, particularly at lower speeds because at higher speeds, the bearings aren't weighted down by the car as much due to the forward momentum of the car. If they're really bad, you'll also get a high pitched grindy/squealy sound. You'll also feel and hear a bad bearing when cornering hard. "
Personally, the sound is like you run over rumble strips on highway but quite lower and softer pitch. It still masks the engine noise so that you just can't ignore it.
Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks
Let me know if anyone has solutions.
Thanks.
-Grinding noise when making right turn
-noise like running over rumble strips on the highway but with way lower pitch and not as frequent.
Both happens in cold weather - first thing in the morning or park for a long time during the day.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
But you are right, it seems like there is a common prob with suspension/noise with I35...
