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.
Air conditioner:
The air conditioner may gradually get warmer while driving in hot weather because the evaporator frosts up blocking airflow. (2007)
None:
The rear bumper may become soiled with exhaust soot because the tailpipe is too short. (2007)
Seat:
The driver's seat lift (up and down) adjustment may quit working because internal parts break. (2007-08)
Tire wear:
The navigation system may display the wrong information if the vehicle was originally purchased on one area, but resold in another. (2007-08)
Windshield washer:
The windshield washers may not be adequate at high speed and a higher pressure replacement pump was made available. (2007)
