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 roof rack may develop noises due to crossbar screws that are too long and won't tighten. (2007)
Oil leak:
Some early build vehicles may develop an oil leak at the V where the timing cover meets the block. (2007)
Water leak:
There may be a water leak at the rear door for which improved weather stripping has been issued. (2007)
