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.
Ignition switch:
The key reminder chime may not stop when the key is removed and/or the keyless entry may not work requiring a revised ignition switch. (2006)
Sunroof/moonroof:
Sunroof may squeak due to wear at the guide pins. (2006)
Vehicle shake:
Vibration may be felt at cruising speeds and can be corrected with revised motor mounts, but the new mounts may then cause vibration at idle. (2006-07)
