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: The foam from the dashboard creeps up and obscures the VIN plate. (2007-08)

Seatbelts/safety: It may be difficult to install a child seat because the rear seat back is too thick, interfering with access to the seat belt receiver. (2007-08)

Windows: If the auto-up feature of a power window quits working, it is restored by closing the window and holding the button for four extra seconds. (2007-08)
