Confirmed the customer's complaint and found the engine did not start intermittently. Used a multi-meter to measure the voltage across the battery terminals and found the measured voltage was below the specified range. Used a battery conductance tester to test the battery and found the battery was able to conduct the specified amount of current, which verified it operated properly. Used an alternator load tester to test the alternator by placing the battery under a load, raised the engine speed to 2,000 RPM and found the measured alternator output was below the specified minimum amperage. Off idle, used a lab scope to measure the alternating current ripple in the charging system and observed the measured alternating current ripple was above specifications. These test results verified the alternator was faulty.
REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND PERFORMED A SYSTEM CHECK TO VERIFY PROPER CHARGING OUTPUT AND ELECTRICAL OPERATION. AFTER INSTALLATION, THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND TESTED TO CONFIRM NORMAL FUNCTION. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ABNORMAL CONDITIONS WERE OBSERVED, AND THE CUSTOMER’S ORIGINAL CONCERN DID NOT RETURN.

Confirmed the customer's complaint and found the engine did not start. Performed a visual inspection of the battery and battery terminals, but found no obvious faults. Used a multi-meter to measure the voltage across the battery terminals and found the measured voltage was within the specified range of 12.4-12.6 Volts. Used a battery conductance tester to test the battery and found the battery was able to conduct the specified amount of current, which verified it operated properly. Used the multi-meter to test for battery voltage and ground at the starter motor and found both the specified 12 Volts and ground were present. Used the multi-meter to test for voltage at the starter motor solenoid terminal while switching the ignition to the start position, and found 12 Volts was present. These test results verified the starter motor was faulty.
REMOVE ALL NECESSARY COMPONENTS TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE STARTER MOTOR. DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND MOUNTING HARDWARE, THEN REMOVE THE FAULTY STARTER MOTOR FROM THE VEHICLE. INSTALL THE NEW STARTER MOTOR, ENSURING ALL CONNECTIONS AND MOUNTING BOLTS ARE SECURE AND TORQUED TO SPECIFICATIONS. REASSEMBLE ALL REMOVED COMPONENTS, RECONNECT THE BATTERY, AND TEST VEHICLE START-UP TO VERIFY PROPER FUNCTION AND OPERATION.

REMOVED AND REPLACED THE ENGINE AIR FILTER. THE OLD FILTER WAS DIRTY AND CLOGGED, WHICH CAN RESTRICT AIRFLOW TO THE ENGINE AND AFFECT PERFORMANCE, FUEL EFFICIENCY, AND EMISSIONS. INSTALLED A NEW FILTER TO HELP ENSURE OPTIMAL AIRFLOW, IMPROVE ENGINE EFFICIENCY, AND MAINTAIN PROPER COMBUSTION.
REMOVED AND REPLACED THE CABIN AIR FILTER. THE OLD FILTER WAS DIRTY AND RESTRICTED, WHICH CAN REDUCE AIRFLOW AND AFFECT THE EFFICIENCY OF THE HVAC SYSTEM. INSTALLED A NEW FILTER TO HELP MAINTAIN CLEAN AIR INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND ENSURE PROPER VENTILATION PERFORMANCE.
PERFORM A TIRE ROTATION BY REPOSITIONING EACH TIRE ACCORDING TO THE RECOMMENDED ROTATION PATTERN TO ENSURE EVEN TREAD WEAR. INSPECT TIRES FOR SIGNS OF UNEVEN WEAR, DAMAGE, OR ABNORMAL WEAR PATTERNS. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AND ADJUST TO MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS. VERIFY WHEEL TORQUE TO ENSURE PROPER INSTALLATION. CONDUCT A FINAL INSPECTION TO CONFIRM SAFE AND OPTIMAL TIRE PERFORMANCE.

DURING A THOROUGH SUSPENSION AND VEHICLE DYNAMICS INSPECTION, ROAD TESTING REVEALED CLUNKING AND UNUSUAL MOVEMENT IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. UPON LIFT INSPECTION, THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS WERE FOUND TO HAVE EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE BALL JOINTS AND BUSHINGS, INDICATING THEY ARE WORN AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE FRONT STRUT ASSEMBLIES, INCLUDING STRUT MOUNTS, SHOWED SIGNS OF WEAR AND DETERIORATION, CONTRIBUTING TO THE CLUNKING AND REDUCED RIDE QUALITY; THESE COMPONENTS WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. ADDITIONALLY, ROAD TESTING AND VIBRATION ANALYSIS REVEALED VIBRATIONS ISOLATED TO THE RIGHT ENGINE MOUNT. INSPECTION CONFIRMED THAT THE RIGHT ENGINE MOUNT IS WORN AND DEFORMED, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT TO RESTORE PROPER ENGINE STABILITY AND REDUCE VIBRATION TRANSMISSION INTO THE CABIN.
REMOVE AND REPLACE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS. INSPECTED EXISTING CONTROL ARMS AND FOUND EXCESSIVE WEAR IN BALL JOINTS AND BUSHINGS, CONTRIBUTING TO CLUNKING AND REDUCED SUSPENSION PERFORMANCE. INSTALLED NEW CONTROL ARMS, ENSURING PROPER TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS AND ALIGNMENT. ROAD TESTED VEHICLE TO CONFIRM RESTORED SUSPENSION FUNCTION AND ELIMINATION OF NOISE.
REMOVE AND REPLACE FRONT STRUTS AND STRUT MOUNTS. INSPECTED EXISTING STRUT ASSEMBLIES AND STRUT MOUNTS AND FOUND SIGNS OF WEAR AND DETERIORATION, CONTRIBUTING TO CLUNKING, REDUCED RIDE QUALITY, AND IMPAIRED SUSPENSION PERFORMANCE. REMOVED OLD STRUT ASSEMBLIES AND MOUNTS, INSTALLED NEW STRUTS AND STRUT MOUNTS TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS, ENSURING PROPER TORQUE AND ALIGNMENT. ROAD TESTED VEHICLE AFTER INSTALLATION TO VERIFY IMPROVED RIDE QUALITY, HANDLING, AND ELIMINATION OF NOISE.
REMOVE AND REPLACE FRONT SIDE ENGINE MOUNT. INSPECTED EXISTING ENGINE MOUNT AND FOUND SIGNS OF WEAR AND DETERIORATION, RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE ENGINE VIBRATION TRANSMITTED TO THE CABIN. REMOVED THE OLD ENGINE MOUNT AND INSTALLED A NEW ONE, ENSURING PROPER ALIGNMENT AND TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. ROAD TESTED VEHICLE AFTER INSTALLATION TO CONFIRM ELIMINATION OF VIBRATIONS AND RESTORED ENGINE STABILITY.
PERFORM WHEEL ALIGNMENT TO ADJUST CAMBER, CASTER, AND TOE ANGLES TO MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS. ENSURE PROPER STEERING WHEEL POSITION AND VEHICLE HANDLING. COMPLETE FINAL INSPECTION AND ROAD TEST TO VERIFY ALIGNMENT ACCURACY.
