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 lights: Water can get into the backup lights through the license plate housing which must then be replaced. (2003-04)

Check-engine light: The check engine light and the wrench icon may light up because of a failure of the throttle position sensor. (2003-04)

Interior trim: The headliner may droop in the rear because the Velcro fastener comes off. (2003-04)

Seat: The climate controlled seats may stop working because the seat cushion crushes or the ducts may come loose. (2003-04)

This table lists costs of likely repairs for comparison with other vehicles. The dollar amount includes the cost of the part(s) and labor (based on $50 per hour) for the typical repair without extras or add-ons. Like the pricing information, replacement costs can vary widely depending on region. Expect charges at a new-car dealership to be slightly higher.

2005: Fuel tank may crack because of localized thin wall section, creating potential for fuel leakage and odor.
