#16 of 23 Re: Entourage - Engine Noise When Idling [plolzynka] by davethecarnut Jan 26, 2008 (4:01 pm)

Replying to: redshoe9 (Jan 23, 2008 11:00 am) My 07 entourage had the same problem 3 times now when the weather is cold. 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!
#18 of 23 Re: Excessive Fast idle on start up [hburg] by marsar4171 Mar 24, 2008 (5:34 pm)
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.
#22 of 23 FAST IDLE STUMBLE ON COLD MORNINGS 08 SANTA FE LTD by omar6575 Nov 19, 2009 (5:20 pm)
Has any one experience during cold starts (car park for over 6 hours) during fast idle the rpm stumbles for a couple of seconds follow by a strange smell (black smoke smell ) then goes back to normal fast idle. once the engine reaches proper operating temp. it seems to idle about 600 rpm and just runs normal and just once in a while it drops rpm to 500, but the most strange thing is the check engine light does not light up for either event. I only have about 13,000 miles on the clock. i want to take it back but with out eh check engine light on, i dont know if they would be able to figure it out. any sugestions are welcome.
#23 of 23 Re: Major engine problem with new 2007 Entourage........ [hjc1] by cobrazera Dec 06, 2009 (3:08 am)
Replying to: hjc1 (Dec 13, 2007 11:30 am) I'm new to the Entourage boards: I'm in the market for a minivan and doing some research. Anyway, I own an '06 Azera with the 3.8 and it does the same rattle for a minute or two after a cold start. The rattle gets worse the colder it is. It's not too noticeable in the summer, but it is now that winter is coming. My wife doesn't notice it ( the Azera is very quiet ), but I'm an old engine guy and I notice those sort of sounds. I owned an '01 Tahoe which was notorious for piston slap and the Azera rattle is the same. It's due to increased piston to cylinder clearance when the engine is cold, and until the piston expands with heat it rattles a bit in the cylinder. It is not a longevity or reliability problem, and is pretty much unfixable. BTW, I love my Azera, I've had it for 3 years and it's been back to the dealer only for oil changes - that's why I'm looking at Entourage.
