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.
None:
The vehicle may seem to lag when the accelerator is pressed if the driver is also pressing the brake (two-footed driving) and computer can be reprogrammed to eliminate this behavior. (2003-06)
None:
There may a thumping noise when decelerating after a brief acceleration due to the transfer case differential lock requiring reprogramming. (2003-06)
Water leak:
Water leaks, including leaving the windows open in the rain can cause corrosion in the wiring running under the foot well. (2003-05)
