Known Problems
Squealing noises in pre-2007 models may come from a/c compressor due to defective pulley or bearings, but improved components are available. The wiring harness in the engine compartment can rub on a bracket, shorting out and blowing a fuse, causing the check engine light to come on in 2005 models. The steering wheel controls may stop working due to fault in steering angle sensor in pre-2007 models. Water leaks around windshield or rear trunk-lid due to seal failures, but revised seals are available for pre-2007 models. Few report roof mechanism failure during warranty period. Check power-window switches for wear and tear.
