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 conditioning system may emit foul odors and is repaired by replacing the A/C amplifier and the cabin air filter with one not containing charcoal. (2006)
Brakes:
When a brake job is completed (brake pads replaced) on a vehicle equipped with the electronically controlled brake system, a trouble code will set that must be cleared using the diagnostic tester. (2006-07)
Brakes:
Original brake pads caused excessive dust and improved pads (with slightly reduced braking performance) are available. (2006-07)
Exhaust system:
Excessive sulfur odors from the exhaust are corrected by replacing the front catalytic converter with a revised unit. (2006)
