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.
Electrical problem:
All of the switches (windows, locks, etc.) on the driver's door may quit working due to electrostatic discharge through the door handle. So, the switch module must be reset and handle replaced. (2004-05)
Engine noise:
Ticking noise from 3.5L engine when first started cold. Requires replacement of the swivel pads and retainers on exhaust valves. (2004)
Seat:
The heated seats might not get warm enough and can be corrected by flashing the body computer. (2005)
Starter:
The remote starter may not work because of a failed hood switch. (2004-05)
Steering problems:
The steering wheel (column) has in/out play, which is corrected by installation of a hardware kit. (2004-05)
Steering problems:
Power steering additives containing Teflon that can plug up the filter in the fluid reservoir. (2004-05)
