Air conditioner wasn't blowing at full force even though I had it turned up high. My daughter kicked under the passenger side where the blower motor is. In the past, this would help the AC to kick on. I had the car set on cruise control at 70 mph. When the check engine light came on, the RPM's went up and down really fast. I couldn't really hear what the noise sounded like that the car made because of loud children in the car. I pulled the car over and shut it off. The car would turn over but wouldn't restart.

Whatever happened, the engine computer sensed it and turned on the light. You will have to have the computer scanned for the trouble codes- a tech or mechanic could then follow the codes to find the problem.

SOURCE: Car kicks/bucks over 70mph

Roll up rear windows. Also, you may have a bad tire. I had the same problem with a different car and the problem was a bad tire that was worn funny. Couldn't tell until the tire was off. The check engine light is programmed to come on every so often so you'll take your car to the dealer and get it looked at, which is how the car companies make their dealers money. Ignore it, mine has been going on and off for years, no problems.

SOURCE: 2002 Suzuki xl7 Mysterious Overheating Issue

Most Suzukis A/C systems will cut out when the engine tempurature is too high (to reduce the load on the engine). Also, in this condition, when the A/C compressor cuts out, the A/C thermo fan (electric - in front of the condensor) may come on ( to try and cool the engine). Combined with the fact that your temp gage says the engine is hot, I would be checking your cooling system very closely. It could be as simple as leaves blocking the air flow through the radiator (between the condensor and radiator), or as serious as the internal cores of the radiator being blocked (different sorts of coolant being used can sometimes produce solid matter that can do this).

Testimonial: "Great explanation and advice to check the cooling system, specifically the radiator. Unfortunately the internal core of the radiator was blocked."

SOURCE: Envoy 2005 XL Cruise control not working

Your dealership should have seen any underlying codes. Most Cruise controls I've worked on are used on the vehicles vacuum. that is where i would start, because on a grade your engine uses more vacuum pressure thus taking from some where else.

Testimonial: "Thanks, will check the vacuum lines to the cruise control to see if they are ok."

2002 dodge intrepid se 2.7 engine light on got

Anytime a Chrysler product of this year has a check engine light, get it to a dealer immediately. The 2.7 liter engine is notorious for oil sludging. This can be a dangerous problem that can destroy the engine.

Your problem may have nothing to do with oil sludging, and I hope it doesn't; but don't take a chance.

Google "Chrysler engine oil sludging."

The oil light comes on at low rpms but goes off when engine reaches 1500 rpm on a 2002 Dodge intrepid

I would get to a Dodge dealer as quickly as possible.

As I recall, these years in the Chrysler products were very prone to a condition called "oil sludging." This can lead to a seized engine, which can lead to a $3,000-4,000 engine replacement. The oil light might indicate low oil pressure, which could be related to plugged oil passages as a consequence of the sludging.

Dodge has paid for replacement engines for a lot of cars from the early 2000's; however, the car owner has to be persistent.

Check Google for "Chrysler engine oil sludging." You will get a real education on the subject.
