#70 of 78 Re: Odor from the vents [jcu_grad_97] by scottaudio Dec 29, 2008 (8:38 pm)
Replying to: jcu_grad_97 (Dec 15, 2008 12:28 pm) Our '06 Torrent suffered from a very musty smell from the vents after starting the A/C unit. We live in Las Vegas, NV where our humidity stays around 6% to 9%, so rust or excessive humidity is never a problem!   Consulted with our dealer, and since our car has 33k on the odometer, he checked our hepa cabin air filter and it was quite dusty. We replaced it (very expensive!), but that cured the problem.   He did tell me that in the future (since our car will be out of warranty in a couple of weeks at 36k miles), that I should get a can of Lysol, and then turn on the A/C with outside air selected, fan on high, and then spray the Lysol between the windshield wipers on the air intake vent. This will draw the Lysol through the air vent system and take care of any mold, mildew, etc that might have accumulated during rain or car washes.   Maybe this might help.......

Replying to: scottaudio (Dec 29, 2008 8:38 pm) Another thing that will help is to turn off the air conditioning for at least a minute or two before turning the engine off. That gives some time for the condensation to evaporate.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
#72 of 78 Couple things I've noticed by vice86 Jan 15, 2009 (10:26 am)
Well I was commuting to work for a while...got the Torrent in August '07 with 14K...but driving from PA to NY during the week..I'm up to 88K now. Had to get the front right hub assy replaced...started making a winding sound as you drove..was getting louder and louder...around 40MPH was really loud...its good now but I still hear it ever so slightly...may be the left side starting to go.   There's a weird sound I hear from the back when just sitting there sometimes...almost like a click-clack that happens 2-3 times really quick and then nothing anymore.   Overall I like the truck...the turning radius does stink though. I kinda tinted mine out and looks pretty cool...but I think come spring I'm gonna have to trade it in...i'm not liking the AWD at all...after driving 4WD, AWD pretty much stinks.   Here's a pic of my Torrent...or as friends call "The Tourettes" cuz they think they're funny...i photochopped the wheels though. Actually bought an extra set of rims to get powdercoated but never got it done...so now I have an extra set of rims sitting in my garage...waste.
#73 of 78 Re: pontiac torrent headlight [timothy1313] by aksid Jan 31, 2009 (7:59 pm)
Replying to: timothy1313 (Dec 28, 2008 5:45 pm) You should unscrew 2 top screws and one bottom (it is between headlight and front grill and has access from top). Headlight body has flange which goes to fender screw. That flange needs to be pulled up a little and whole headlight needs to be pulled to the front. The headlight body has plastic latch at the back which give you filling that it is connected to something. Do not be afraid to pull headlight out. Apply moderate force and get headlight unlatched. After that just try to turn headlight body and out move from its place. I have changed light bulbs and it definitely works. It does not take a lot of time. I may take pictures for each step and send it to you if you want.

hi: i just got my torrent 2006 on december 2008. Everything is good with the car except that every time i get off the car it gives me an electrical shock and it is pretty strong one. It is happening all the time with the passagers also. Does somebody have the same problem? can somebody help me. Thanks Replies to this message: rlt2 (Mar 10, 2009 12:10 pm)

Replying to: moony1 (Feb 08, 2009 9:54 pm) Same problem here. Everytime I get out of car I get a shock when I touch the door. I have to close the door with my foot to avoid the shock! I think it's the material on the seats.
#76 of 78 Spark plugs - 2007 Torrent by bg3075 Mar 13, 2009 (7:01 pm)
Where in the heck are the other three spark plugs located? If they are behind the engine, in front of the firewall, they would be impossible to get to in my opinion. Anyone ever changed their plugs themselves in the 2007 Torrent?
