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.
Audio system:
Double-sided CDs may not play or may jam in the changer and should not be used. (2002-03)
Doors:
One or more doors may not open because the linkage comes apart and a revised clip will prevent recurrence. (2002-03)
