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: An offensive odor from the A/C vents requires cleaning then coating the evaporator coils with a special product. (2006-07)

Airbags: The airbag warning light may come on because of high resistance in a connector under the driver and/or passenger seat which must be replaced. (2006-07)

Audio system: If the sound quality from the premium Panasonic radio is poor, the radio module must be reflashed (reprogrammed). (2006-07)

Windows: Window may separate from its regulator requiring the glass to be glued in place. (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.
