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.
Dashboard lights:
A check coolant level warning light may come on if the antifreeze/water mixture is not a 50/50 ratio. Also, if the blue antifreeze is mixed with orange antifreeze, cylinder heads and cooling system components can be damaged. (2003-06)
Engine fan:
Screeching noise from under hood comes from defected cooling fan on engine control module. (2007)
Engine noise:
The plastic idler pulley for the serpentine accessory drive belt may make a chirping noise and an improved pulley is available to replace it. (2003-05)
Fuel gauge:
The fuel gauge may not read full after a fill-up, requiring reprogramming the instrument panel; may show full although the tank is empty due to a faulty fuel sending unit in the tank. (2003)
Fuel gauge:
Intermittent fuel gauge due to faulty fuel level sender in tank. (2005)
Suspension problems:
The air suspension may not maintain the proper height when cold if the battery voltage drops below 11 volts, or the pressure relief valve is frozen open, requiring replacement of the rear springs. The pressure switch may stick intermittently, and the pressure sensor may be faulty causing the warning lamp to glow. Less likely is a faulty electronic control unit. (2003-05)
Water leak:
The navigation system may quit, possibly along with the radio and Blue Tooth, due to water entering the nav unit. (2005-07)
