Consumer Guide's® Auto Editors have scoured repair bulletins and questioned mechanics to search for commonly occurring problems for a particular vehicle. In some cases we also give possible manufacturer-suggested solutions. In many instances these trouble spots are Technical Service Bulletins posted by the manufacturer, however, we have our own expert looking at additional vehicle problems.

Blower motor: Humming and/or ticking noises from the blower are corrected with a revised insulator cover. (1996-2001)

Headlights: The headlights may quit working because of a problem with the connector plug. (2002)

This table lists costs of likely repairs for comparison with other vehicles.

Like the pricing information, replacement costs can vary widely depending on region. Expect charges at a new-car dealership to be slightly higher.
