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:
