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: The radio may do strange things such as turn off when the remote (steering wheel) control for volume is pressed, may switch stations randomly, or go off without command due to a bad ground connection in the steering column. (2004)

Electrical problem: A false trouble code (and possible check engine light) due to software problem and dealers were flashing computers on all vehicles in for any service. Look for reprogramming label (BNH, 1BNL, 1BNF or 1BNJ) in glove box indicating work done. (2004-05)
