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.

Poor transmission shift: Some vehicles with the 5.4L engine may hesitate between 3-4 downshifts requiring reprogramming of the powertrain control module. (2006)

Rear axle noise: Shudder and/or vibrations during aggressive acceleration due to rear axle's pinion angle requiring shims to correct. (2006-07)

Steering problems: A clunk or rattle while turning the steering wheel on rough roads may be due to the power steering return hose lacking a flow restrictor. (2006)

Transmission problems: The torque converter clutch may apply after the transmission goes into second gear which feels like a lack of power due to a damaged check ball in the transmission's valve body. (2006)
