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.
Brake noise:
Clicking from the front brakes, most noticeable when changing directions, requires the installation of revised caliper springs. (2002-03)
Engine noise:
Lifters drain down (collapse) after cold soak causing ticking noise from 2.0L engine briefly after startup and, if running the engine for 20 minutes at 2,000 rpm does not clear up the problem, lifters must be replaced. (2002-03)
Engine noise:
Ticking noise when engine is started may be due to hydraulic lifter bleed-down and may require replacement lifters. (1999-2003)
Keyless entry:
The keyless entry system may quit working. On 2002 models, the transmitter and receiver may need to be replaced. On 2003 models, the system may be reprogrammed without replacing parts. (2002-03)
Tire wear:
Rear tires may wear in the inside shoulders due to incorrect toe setting, but may also be due to problem with viscous clutch. (2004-06)
Windshield washer:
Windshield washers dribble fluid, due to a lack of check valves in the hoses. Countermeasure hoses are available. (2002-03)
