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.
Air conditioner:
Air from the rear center A/C vents may blow warmer than the front and revised servo motors and A/C amplifiers corrected this. (2007)
Battery:
The battery may go dead overnight due to failure of the remote start control module. (2007)
Brakes:
Rear brakes squeal and tend to wear prematurely. (2007-08)
Check-engine light:
Vehicles with the 3.5L V6 engine may illuminate the check engine light due to a problem with the variable valve timing camshaft timing oil control valve. (2007-08)
Suspension noise:
The rear suspension may make noises, especially going over bumps in cold weather, requiring improved sway bar bushings. (2007)
Water leak:
Water leaks at the headliner or either front floor may be due to the sunroof drain hose(s) coming loose and improved clamps must be installed. (2004-07)
