    2013 Grand Touring throating sound

    Unsure when it started but recently I've noticed the motor giving a throating sound, I remember as a kid flipping a GM air filter cover to get that same sound. No codes and seems to be running OK The sound blends during normal road conditions. Just off the cuff, ideas to look for?

    Changing Brake Booster insights

    Originally, the dealer gave us a free 20 point check. Everything was good, fluids OK. That's how the cap was loose, nothing to do with the Power booster.

Looks like a reflective LED strip inside the headlight. The problem is, our passenger side comes on the goes out. I have the...
