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.
Convertible top:
Numerous problems with the convertible top include a top that does not seat properly to the car body, rattling from the trunk when stowed, water leaks at the rear window, and/or difficulty raising or lowering the top. (2006)
Vehicle noise:
The shifter may rattle against the trim ring requiring the trim piece be glued in place. (2006)
