Friday morning the check engine light came on in my 2007 Torrent. I contacted onstar and had them run a diagnostic on the vehicle and they said they saw two sensors that registered failures one was from the transmission sensor, the other from the power train sensor. The light stayed on for the rest of the day however on Saturday after the car had sat all night the light did not come back on. I took it into the dealership today and they said that if the light went off I didn't have a problem. They are dealing with an open recall since I brought the vehicle in but should I have had them pull the codes anyway? They said it would have been 125.00 if they found out it was something like a gas cap code (yes the cap was on tight) Thoughts? Thanks Ellen

Weird one here....got home last night and as i was walking in from my garage i detected a burning smell. I thought it was coming from in my house, or that my garage fridge was burning up, but it was coming from my 2006 Torrent. I looked under the hood and didnt see anything obvious (nothing like a plastic bag or anything else stuck underneath), and the smell got less and less strong as the engine cooled down. Smelled it again tonight as we drove (could really smell it when stopped at a light)....ate dinner in the car and didnt smell anything. Started the car back up and now there's no smell, but now the check engine light was on for the 30 minute drive home. Checked all fluids and everything is fine there....no weird noises or handling problems. I dont think it's a stretch to think that the smell and the light are related....maybe some kind of plastic sensor got too close to the engine block and melted. I'll call the dealer in the morning, but wondered if anyone else had the same problem....thanks.

Update from my previous post. Took it into the dealer and they found an air inlet hose had become disconnected from the rear rocker cover. Apparently there's been enough of these to issue a Tech. Service Bulletin. Problem solved. |

My 2007 makes a clicking noise deep in the steering column area, perhaps into the dash when turning. It makes the noise about 75% of the time. It has been to the shop six times, they have told me everything from dirt betwee the brake pads to it needs a new steering column. Everytime they have said it is fixed, I drive it and the noise is still there. It is a clicking when making hard turns such as pulling into or backing out of parking spaces.

Replying to: gabriel2608 (Jul 21, 2008 11:33 am) Can you drive down to the coast to another dealer, maybe in Manzanillo? It's been a few years - is "La Villa" the little town nearby where everyone goes for drinks and free bar food?
