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.
None:
Using the engine block heater in cold weather can confuse the powertrain control module when it compares the intake air temperature to the engine temperature, requiring reprogramming the computer. (2007)
Seat:
The passenger seat may not move fore and aft because the cable comes off. (2007)
