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.

Alarm system: The antitheft system may not arm (lights don't flash when lock is pressed on remote) and the problem may be the main power window switch. (2004-05)

Cold-starting problems: Stumble and/or hesitation when accelerating with cold engine requires reprogramming the powertrain control module. (2005-06)

Dashboard lights: The "distance to empty" display may not always reset after refueling requiring the system to be reset by holding the reset button for five seconds or briefly removing the fuse. (2005-06)

Engine noise: Whistling or hissing noises from the engine compartment have been blamed on some aftermarket oil filters. (2004-06)

Suspension noise: Knocking noise from front suspension may be due to upper strut mounting nuts working loose. (2004-06)

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.
