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.
Blower motor:
The radio and/or blower may quit working intermittently in hot, humid weather because the ignition key may not fully return to the run position. (2004)
Check-engine light:
The check engine light may come on if there is a lean fuel condition caused by a vacuum leak or a manifold gasket leak from gasoline containing ethanol. (2004-06)
Seat:
The driver's seat may be difficult or impossible to adjust due to a broken cable. (2004-06)
Seat:
The driver's clothes may snag on the seat side cover and break it. (2004-05)
Transmission problems:
A flare when the transmission shifts from 2-3 may be due to damage in the rear housing requiring replacement of the housing as well as the reverse clutch assembly, seals, and bearings. (2004-05)
Turn signal:
Noise from the upper steering column caused by loose turn signal cancel cam. (2004-05)
Water leak:
Water on the passenger floor can be caused by foam or debris blocking the drain opening in the A/C unit. Debris can be kept out by replacing the air inlet grille on the cowl. (2004)
