sound like transmission oil pump noise if you hear noise when vechicle accelerating moving.

That statement is not trueAny repair shop or dealer hasknowledge or reference material, toresolve the issueEngine Vacuum Hoses have a diagram under the hood onfederal emissions label

The cause is a faulty thermostat, replace it. The part is under the cover that the upper radiator hose attaches to. Drain about 1 quart from the system before the repair.

Sounds like your Interlock switch on the Brake pedal switch or the linkage in the shift cable is out of time. Check brakelights.There was a problem in vehicle lurching when started. There were 2 different ideas to solve this. One system would allow the starter to work and the engine to run, but made shifting out of Park impossible without a foot on the brake. The other system required the foot on the brake and this signal would allow the starter solenoid to get a pulse from the Ignition switch. Some required the Gearshift to be in Park or Neutral before the brake signal could clear the Ignition and provide a pulse.So your brake pedal switch probably is out of position or broken. If it is good, then the Gearshift position must be slightly off.Also check the small wires on the solenoid to see if Voltage is present whenkey is turned to start and foot on brake.

If your ABS light is light it could mean several things. First check to make sure that your parking break is all the way down. Secondly, it could be cause by you not having enough fluid for your breaks.

Check wheel bearings

Could be the rear Emergency brakes are binding. Jack up the rear of the vehicle, put it in neutral and attempt to turn the rear wheels by hand.You do not have to use the Emergency brakes to have problems with them. The linings fall off the metal shoe and bind up on the turning drum within the rear rotor. Then when the direction of rotation changes, the remaining brake linings regroup and jam the other way.Sometimes the loose lining jams into small bits, pulverized, and sometimes form large chunks that jam the brakes.Another potential problem you can check with the rear wheels off the ground and in neutral is the U-joints on the driveshaft. Popping is a symptom of play in the joints. Binding is a possibility but the joint is close to breaking at this point.

the actuator for the rear heat is malfunctioning. it controls the hot/cold position of the blend door

Is there a question there?Have someone listen to your vehicleissuesMaybe a neighbor can help

check your brakes.

i think that would be ur linkage. u gotta get it up on a lift or get under it and it links ur gear shift to ur transmission. it could be on a bind or stuck from inside transmission.

Front brake rotors can warp in heavy use. When it becomes warped it'll cause the steering wheel to shake when brakes are applied.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Tacho Pro 2008

No such thing as a seal transmissionAny slipping & slamming & you using it like that,you may as well pull it & rebuild itTrans & Power Steering fluids you change every 3 yearson all vehicles or get out your check book for the repairs,due to lack of knowledge & abuseNone of what you said was fact based or true
