Trouble Spots
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.
Air conditioner:
The A/C compressor may fail, causing a squealing or missing drive belt. Using only the front A/C controls and not the rear controls can cause the compressor to fail. After the A/C parts are replaced, the body-control computer requires reprogramming. (2001)
Doors:
Loose weather strip tricks the power sliding door into thinking there is an obstruction making it misbehave during opening or closing. The weather strip must be replaced.
Engine noise:
Engine tapping noise on startup of V6 engines requires updated exhaust valve swivel pads. (1998-04)
Engine stalling:
The engine may lose power or stall, especially when the temperature drops below freezing, requiring replacement of the throttle-position sensor. (2001-02)
Fuel gauge:
The fuel gauge may drop below the actual level while driving, but may return to the correct reading after sitting for about 10 minutes due to a kinked hose at the leak detection pump filter. (2001-02)
Suspension noise:
Knocking or squawking sounds from the front suspension are corrected by replacing the sway-bar links. (2001)
Water leak:
Some early-production (prior to April 2001) vehicles may have a serpentine belt that squeals or jumps off (in cold weather) the pulley because of water leaking from the wiper-module drain tube. In cold weather, ice forms on the pulley. (2001)
Water leak:
A wet passenger side carpet is often due to condensation from the A/C drain tube blowing back into the passenger compartment and replacing the tube with a longer one corrects the problem. (2001-02)
