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.
Headlights:
It is possible to leave the headlight switch between two positions whereupon the headlights will stay on until the battery saver function kicks in after 10 minutes. (2006)
Seat:
A wire in the seat bolster may wear through the foam and seat cover. (2006)
Steering problems:
Power steering fluid may leak from the banjo bolt fittings at the pump and/or rack-and-pinion assembly for which stronger bolts (and sealing washers) are available. (2006)
Vehicle noise:
Squeaks or creaking noises from the front end may be due to broken welds on the subframe assembly. (2006)
