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:
As a result of air-conditioner failures, the manufacturer has released a new low-side (suction) refrigerant line with an inline filter. (2001-02)
Blower motor:
The blower motor may make a squealing noise and an improved motor was made available. (2004-05)
Check-engine light:
The check engine light may come on due to a problem with the air injection system which is covered under the federal emissions warranty. (2005-07)
Fuel odors:
The fuel door may not open when the remote release is pulled because the cable comes off the lever. A new lever is available. (2001)
Hard starting:
Vehicle may fail to start because of a blown fuel-injection fuse resulting from a problem with the fuel pump. A revised pump is available. (2000-02)
Rear axle noise:
Noises from the rear axle due to axle bearing failure caused by water entering the bearing and an improved bearing seal has been issued. (2004-06)
Starter:
Occasional no-start of V8 engine after hot soak due to faulty cam position sensor. (2005-06)
Windows:
The rear power window may mysteriously open or close, but the problem lies in the remote transmitter whose button has since been redesigned with a stiffer spring to prevent accidental activation. (2001)
Windows:
The window on the back door may quit working due to malfunction of the motor. (2001-06)
