Ok I've seen a few of these on my car...nothing major. I know some of these have been discussed on other threads.

One in particular, when the A/C is turned off, this soft whining/howling noise presents itself. Doesn't matter if I turn the A/C off first before shutting the engine off, or if I shut the engine off with the A/C running. This happens only during the warmer months when running the A/C. Everything works fine, the fan blows cold air, no issues other than the noise, and it does it randomly, not every time. The duration varies, from a few seconds to about 20 seconds or so, when it does occur.


Also, a couple of others:

1. Driver mirror closes and opens slightly later after the passenger side. (Folding mirror option)
2. After parking and shutting the engine off, the auto seat/steering wheel retract doesn't always function when I first open the door to get out. If I close the door and open it again, it'll function. It does this at random, not all the time.
3. When I try to connect my Pixel 3 to play music, the screen will say connecting but it never does. I have to turn the car off and back on again to connect. It does this rarely.

Any others?

I had that whine too...and now I have no AC. Perhaps you are starting to develop a (presumed) leak like me?

Same thing on the mirror.
No issues with the auto seat/steering wheel retract.
Had the same issues with the P2XL I have, but now I have the GromAudio kit so never connect my phone anymore.

Could be, but it's been doing this since I bought the car in Oct 2015. Still blows cold air, no other issues. I will keep an eye on it as the warmer weather progresses.

I've had everything you have but never laying that long.

I've had an ongoing issue with the battery not paying more than 6 months, getting ready for my second one.

Issues with connecting Bluetooth with my iPhone 6s plus until I got the iPhone 8 plus. It never had issues connecting or showing the info of the music being played.
