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:
The A/C may gradually get warmer while driving due to a bad temperature sensor allowing the evaporator to freeze up. (2007)
Audio system:
The navigation system may develop several faults (no map, inaudible voice, radio locks up, etc.) requiring software upgrade. (2007-08)
Convertible top:
The retractable hard top leaks from one or more places. (2007)
Rear axle noise:
Noises may come from the rear springs, which are eliminated by replacing the galvanized spring plate with a rubber-coated plate. (2007-08)
Seat:
The heated seat(s) may quit working. (2007-08)
Water leak:
Water may leak into the interior from the upper part of the windshield along the seal or from the sunroof due to a detached drain hose. (2007)
