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.

Check-engine light: The engine may revert to the limp-in mode accompanied by a check engine light on the 4.0L V-6 due to damaged wiring to the throttle body. (2005-06)

Electrical problem: The front parking aid warning may sound at speeds below 10 mph if something (or someone) is in front of vehicle when coming to a stop and an improved control module is available. (2005-06)

Electrical problem: Air suspension system malfunctions due to corrosion of an electrical connector near the right-front wheel. (2005-06)

Electrical problem: A low coolant message illuminates because the float in the reservoir absorbs coolant and sinks. (2005-06)

Electrical problem: Any or all of the electrical components in the front doors may malfunction because the door harness chafes on the lower edge of the door panel. (2005-06)

Water leak: Water may leak through holes for the trim attachments in the A-pillar(s) and collect in the foot well(s). (2005-06)

Wipers: The rear wiper quits working due to corrosion of the pivot and a revised wiper arm is available. (2005-06)
