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.

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:
