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.

Cold-starting problems: The engine may not start in single-digit temperatures due to problems with several relays and all should have been changed with improved ones having a green cover. (2007-08)

None: Clunking from front end during parking maneuvers is corrected by replacing the front wheel bearings. (2007)

None: Hesitation or lack of throttle response when accelerating from slow speeds requires updating engine control module program. (2007)

Rough idle: Rough idle when temperatures are in the 50s is corrected by updating the engine control module program. (2007-08)
