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.
Brakes:
The brakes may drag because the brake switch at the brake pedal is out of adjustment and applying the brakes. (2007)
Brakes:
The antilock brake and traction control warning lamps may come on due to one or both rear wheel speed sensors being defective. (2007)
Electrical problem:
A variety of intermittent drivability problems and failure of the starter to run may be due to loose wires in the fuse block under the hood. (2007)
Steering problems:
Power steering fluid may leak at the rack-and-pinion unit at the banjo bolt; an improved bolt is available. (2007-08)
Sunroof/moonroof:
The sunroof may not operate smoothly or may bind due to problems with the tracks. (2007)
Transmission problems:
Some early build 6F50 automatic transmissions may shift harshly, not at all or erratically due to intermittent short circuit conditions in either the transmission's output speed sensor and/or turbine shaft speed sensor. (2007-08)
