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.

Audio system: When the hands-free system is used, in vehicles with the navigation system, the radio may come on spontaneously, and/or the CD may eject requiring reprogramming the audio system software and, in some cases, replacing the amp. (2007)

Door handles: Door locks may not work in cold weather due to ice forming on the latch requiring installation of an improved latch. (2007)

Fuel door: The fuel-fill door may freeze shut in cold weather due to ice in the hinge assembly and a revised part has been issued. (2007)

None: The tire pressure warning light may stay on despite proper inflation due to problem with the sensor(s) in the wheel(s). (2007-08)

Suspension noise: Clunking or knocking noise from rear suspension on some vehicles due to distorted shock bolt. (2007)

Consumer Guide® Estimated Repair Costs

This table lists costs of likely repairs for comparison with other vehicles.
