#12 of 21 same dead car issue everyone else is having by redshoe9 Jan 23, 2008 (11:00 am)
My 07 entourage limited has been dead on cold mornings at least 6 times. Previously I thought it was just due to super chicago cold winters but finally I had it towed and looked at. They replaced some connector to the battery and it ran great for about three weeks.   Again this morning on the way out the door---another dead start. Barely a bit of juice left in the car and it won't start. I'm so frustrated at this and really getting mad. I'm taking a long road trip in Feb and I can't have this vehicle acting up since it will be me and small child alone. Ughh..   Did anyone get any firm resolutions to this continual problem?

That is the only TSB on the van about battery drain that I know of. Do you notice the drain only on very cold weather?

In my post I said ignition but meant door lock.

Replying to: davethecarnut (Nov 21, 2007 10:58 pm) Dave,   I have been watching when I hear the whirling sound. It is not only when the car is in idle, but while driving as well. If in idle and I press the gas, the sound speeds up. The same thing happens while driving. I have not notice the increased RPMs that others on this site have been mentioning. I guess I need to get it to the dealer. I might go back and test drive another one before I complain to see if a new one does the same thing.   PJ Replies to this message: davethecarnut (Jan 26, 2008 4:01 pm)

The car just can't start without any noise or crank. yesterday I had it towed into the dealer, and I had the call from the dealer this morning at 8:00 Am, they said they can start the car without any problem. it was -14C at the morning of Toronto. It really kill me!

Replying to: hburg (Jan 05, 2008 8:37 am) I have an 07Entourage (Sept 07) and an 04 Sonata...both idle high upon startup, but then soon slow down...I think that is normal.   I'm also having the 'tapping' issue that I've seen in other threads. I didn't bring it up to the dealer, but when it was in for service, they called me and said that they were replacing the timing chain tensioners...which did nothing to fix the sound. I assumed it was normal b/c it only occurs for about 2-3 seconds ( thought it just took a moment for the oil to circulate).   What I am dealing with now is that the power sliding doors have opened 2"-3" by themselves after closing over 20 times (currently in the shop for the fourth time). Also, the airbag light has come on 2 times, the front glass defrost started smoking the first time I turned it on, and the fog light dash indicator has started flashing while merging onto the highway after using the turn signal (in the daytime when the lights are off).   So, even though I havent been on the dealership to fix the tapping, it has spent a month (of the six months I've had the van) in the shop. I've already started the Lemon Law process...It's a shame because I really like the van, but I can't risk the doors opening by themselves as I'm driving down the highway (I've seen that reported in other threads as well).   Let me know if anyone is having similar issues, and how the problem was resolved. Thanks!

Replying to: plolzynka (Nov 13, 2007 7:01 pm) I have a 2007 Entourage Limited with this whining problem as well. Can be heard at idle and low speeds. Quite loud from inside and outside of the vehicle. Developed the noise at about 28K. It makes no difference if the AC is on or off...it's a different noise than that of a loose belt. Kind of a very loud whirring or hum. Sounds to me like a bad bearing, but they think it's in the power steering mechanism. They replaced the PS reservoir, but the noise remained. They think they've fixed it by replacing the PS fluid with synthetic, but I feel like this will be a short-term solution. I've seen one or two others with this problem, but haven't seen a solution. My van's been at the dealer's garage for a week, but they gave me a great loaner (Veracruz Limited), so no complaints there! Anybody have insight into this problem??

Replying to: minivanmom1 (Sep 25, 2008 5:51 am) I have the exact same whining noise, and I also have 28K miles on my van. I've had the noise for 2 to 3K miles so far. They said it was the A/C pulley and replaced it. It came home with the same noise. Don't ask me how the dealer actually spent time on it, replace parts, and sent it home with the same noise. I've brought it in about 4 times so far and no luck. Replies to this message: ktgann (Jan 31, 2009 5:23 am)

Replying to: ktgann (Dec 30, 2008 1:29 pm) Here's an update - after replacing the a/c pulley (and the whine did not go away), the dealership the replaced the idler pulley and the whining problem was fixed. Hope this helps anyone with a whining Hyundai Entourage or Kia Sedona.
