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.
Convertible top:
A rattle comes from the trunk when the convertible top is stowed due to the channels where the guide pins rest being bent or its felt missing. (2007-08)
Convertible top:
The convertible top latch may not work if the top is stowed without first opening the latch fully, which causes it to get bent. (2007-08)
Electrical problem:
A pop sound may come from the speakers occasionally when getting out of the car due to a poor ground connection for the power seat. (2007-08)
Electrical problem:
The engine may overheat because the fuse for the electric cooling fan is blown, and this is usually caused by improperly jump-starting the vehicle. (2007-08)
None:
Lack of power and possible hissing under the hood on Redline models can be caused by a leak in the charge air plumbing between the turbo and throttle valve.
Oil leak:
Oil may leak from the rear axle vent on top of the differential requiring the vent be replaced and distanced with a rubber hose. (2007-08)
