So there are a number of items that need to be addressed, but I wanted to run them past this board:
1. Brakes squeek/grind upon start up (most noticeably when wet) - Usually, the first one or two times I hit the brakes, there is a horrible squeeking/grinding noise, but then that subsides (I would imagine that the brakes heating up has something to do with it going away). Any experience with this, and what needs to be done?
2. Passenger door lock makes a very loud noise (a "honking" noise) when engaged (automatic locks, btw) - Every time that the lock engages or dis-engages, it makes this amazingly annoying sound that scares the #$%@ out of my passengers. I have been told it is a flaw in the design on the lock, but I just wanted to check if anyone has experience correcting this, and what needs to be done.
3. Grinding noise while turning at slow speeds - When I am attempting to turn at a very slow speed (exiting/entering a parking spot, u-turns, etc), there is a noise from the wheel-well area that goes "shoosh, shoosh, shoosh", and kind of feels like it is "popping", albeit not very dramatically.
4. And my currently most annoying item: very little to no heat - the engine appears to heat up as it should (while a bit slower than I would like), but when I turn on the heat, very little heated air comes out. Seems more like it is just recirculating the air in the cabin. I don't necessarily believe that it is the heater core since I am not getting the build-up on my windshield, but I am open to any experiences.
Seems like a good starting list
Thank you in advance!
