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.
Blower motor:
Noise may come from the blower due to debris entering the housing unless a repair kit with netting is installed. (2007)
Check-engine light:
The check engine light may illuminate due to water getting into the evaporation control system charcoal canister unless a retrofit cover is installed. (2007)
Exhaust system:
There may be a sulfur odor from the exhaust for which an improved catalytic converter is available. (2007)
None:
The charging system warning light may illuminate due to corrosion developing on the connection at the alternator. (2007)
