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.
Automatic transmission:
The transmission may not shift back up into fourth gear after a kick-down requiring reprogramming of the powertrain control module. (2006-07)
Engine noise:
Noise or roughness during turning is usually caused by the VTM fluid being contaminated by clutch wear or condensation requiring drain and refill. (2006-07)
Odometer:
Due to a class action suit claiming that the odometers were reading high, the company extended the mileage warranty by 5 percent. (2006)
Sunroof/moonroof:
Moonroof may leak and the gasket and/or glass may have to be replaced. (2006-07)
Suspension noise:
Noise from the front when going over bumps could be due to the bolts that mount the steering gear become loose. (2006)
Windows:
The rear window may not go up or down because the glue attaching it to the regulator fails. (2006)
