| Description of the problem | The front passenger strut failed has now been replaced 4 times. After 500 miles of driving the strut appears to be ok. However, the car failed to start today. Over the past 3 weeks the weather has been changing between single digits to upper 30's. On colder mornings the relays inside the vehicle near the glove box would make a clicking noise while attempting to start the car. The car would crank hard several times before starting. At the same time the relays would make a clicking noise. The vehicle finally didn't want to start today 1/12/05. There is a tsb for the power distribution module. I believe this is the problem. My car was towed to my dealership.*ak |
