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.
Airbags:
The airbag light may illuminate due to a short in a wiring harness under the hood. (2007)
Engine misfire:
The engine may hesitate of misfire, and the check engine light may illuminate, due to one or both front oxygen sensors failing. (2007)
None:
A snapping noise from the front wheels when changing directions (drive to reverse to drive) due to excessive clearance behind the front hubs requiring shims. (2007)
Transmission problems:
The shifter interlock module may fail making it impossible to shift out of park. (2007)
