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.
Air conditioner:
The air conditioner may not change modes when requested requiring reprogramming of the HVAC module. (2006)
Automatic transmission:
A shudder or lack of power in second gear could be caused by a malfunctioning piston in the model 4T65E automatic transmission. (2006)
Automatic transmission:
Over time, the wires going to the torque converter clutch can chafe on their clip and short causing rough or late shifts. (2006)
Brakes:
A campaign was conducted to reprogram the electronic brake control module on cars with ABS and fitted with 17 in. or 18 in. wheels. (2006)
Horn:
The horn fails from water getting inside and the replacement horn should have a splash shield. (2006)
Keyless entry:
The remote keyless entry system may not work or may work poorly and/or the tire pressure warning may come on due to a malfunction of the receiver and antenna. (2006-07)
Seat:
The cloth seat covers may appear to be worn thin because the napped material crushes down. (2006)
