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.
Information stickers/paperwork:
The procedure for resetting the oil life monitor is wrong in the owner's manual. (2007)
None:
The CV joints may make clicking noises and sound like they are failing during cold weather, but replacement grease and boots usually fixes this. (2007-08)
Water leak:
Water may leak onto the front floor during heavy rain due to insufficient sealant at the strut towers. (2007)
Wipers:
The windshield wipers may only work on one speed and/or the other functions on the turn signal stalk may quit due to voltage spike from the wiper motor damaging the body control module. (2007)
