What year is your G? They had a big problem with the printed circuit board and caused the a/c to stay on and no climate or radio controls to function.
About the door lock situation it sounds like a weak actuator. I have replaced a few of those in my time and it just seems after a while they get weak but still work to where you can hear it but not enough to lock or unlock the door
When I went to the dealer a couple weeks ago, my service advisor said I should do a carbon / fuel system flush, auto tranny flush, brake fluid, and power steering. I am at 38K miles, do I need to do this stuff asap?
I ordered my stillen sways a couple days ago and they should arrive this wednesday or thursday. Can anyone give me a hand with the install? I don't really have any experience installing them and don't really want to pay a shop to install them. Matthimself said he could get a lift available, but only on some random hours. Let me know if anyone can help and maybe we can work out a schedule to get the lift, and if not maybe some jack stands? Thanks.

I'm going to the dealership tom. to have a clicking sound checked on the right side i think its coming from the brake? i have no clue what it is???? when im on full stop and when i step on the gas there is a clicking sound coming from the front or back on the right side sounds like when you put it on reverse notice there a clicking sound? sounds like that and when im yielding and step on the gas that annoying clicking sound comes on. then my transmission looks like needs service cause if im on tip tronic if i change gears on 2000rpm to 2500rpm on 2nd going 3rd you can hear and feel the engines kicking! and my pick up on 2nd gear going up is poor. I just want to ask some avice guys about my problems i just don't want to be screwed on the dealership. thanks!!!
