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.

Airbags: The airbag warning light may come on if a device with a memory card (e.g. laptop computer, PDA, etc.) is placed on the passenger seat which causes interference with the Baby Smart system. (2006-07)

Battery: There was a service recall to replace the voltage regulator in the alternator which, if not replaced, allows the battery to go dead. (2006)

Brake noise: Noises from the front brakes due to weak brake pad pressure retaining springs. (2006)

Check-engine light: The check engine light may come on because of a malfunction in the secondary air injection system due to a bad air pump relay. (2006-07)

Steering problems: The speed sensitive steering may malfunction due to a broken connector or other electrical connector fault at the valve on the rack-and-pinion assembly. (2006)

Sunroof/moonroof: The sunroof may leak or rattle due to an inadequate seal in the frame. (2006)

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.
