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:
A knocking noise from the front end may be due to a dislocated lower control arm bushing for the stabilizer bar. (2007)
Power seats:
The power seats may move roughly due to either a lack of grease on the seat rails or may not move at all due to failure of the motor or failure of the module to respond to the wake-up signal from the network. (2007-08)
Seatbelts/safety:
The seatbelt warning light and the warning chime may activate intermittently, even though there is nobody in the passenger seat due to a faulty seat occupant sensor. (2007)
Wind noise:
Wind noise on convertibles is due to a gap where the top meets the top of the rear fender(s). (2007)
