I notice that my a/c has begun to cycle between on and off. I have the automatic heating and cooling. Hitting the a/c button does not override the a/c being in the Off position. I started noticing that it's now more in the OFF position than the ON position.

Is there a leak of refrigerant and the ...

Re: intermittent-Possiblle power sterring-Squeak Squeak

Well the mounts and rotors were stock. I've had the car for almost 2 years and put about 20k miles in NYC which is probably the US capital for potholes. Besides oil changes and tranny fluid change I have not really put any $ into it otherwise except GAS.

It broke down to 750 parts (2 pads rotors ...

Re: intermittent-Possiblle power sterring-Squeak Squeak

Thanks for the feedback...

Noise turned out to be the brake sensor....

Was time for new rotors and pads... Oh and motor mounts- car is tight and quiet now but my wallet is $1400 lighter

intermittent-Possiblle power sterring-Squeak Squeak

This is a weird one...

When I'm driving only (not standing still) I hear a slight squeak squak when i turn the wheel slightly to the left. Doesn't happen all the time maybe 30%. Only when car is in motion,

Checked power steering fluid it is fine.

Anybody hear of this one???
