| 2006 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES | INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE A TENDENCY TO SNAP, WITH NO INDICATION THAT THEY ARE WEAK OR FRAGILE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME PERSONALLY TWICE AND TO OTHERS MANY TIME, ACCORDING TO ONLINE FORUMS FOR THIS VEHICLE. THERE IS NO AVAILABLE REPAIR BEYOND REPLACEMENT OF THE DOOR HANDLES. OBVIOUSLY, IN AN ACCIDENT THIS WOULD LIMIT ONE'S ABILITY TO SAFELY EXIT THE VEHICLE. *TR |
| 2010 | POWER TRAIN | I HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THIS MORNING AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, UP TO ABOUT 20 MPH, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST TOTAL POWER. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASH WHILE STEERING THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET, AND NOTICED THE "WRENCH" LIGHT WAS LIT UP. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND GOT OUT MY MANUAL. THE MANUAL SAID THE LIGHT INDICATED A TRANSMISSION/POWER TRAIN/AWD ISSUE. I THOUGHT I WOULD ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR AGAIN, AND SEE WHAT IT WOULD DO. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS NO LONGER WENT, AND I HAD POWER WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR. I TOOK MY CHANCES, AND WENT AHEAD AND DROVE IT WORK, HOPING IT WAS JUST A FLUKE, BUT DECIDED I WOULD INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF OTHERS HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. I CAME ACROSS THE ENTIRE LISTING OF OTHERS WHO WERE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE SO THOUGHT I BETTER IMMEDIATELY GET IT TO THE DEALER AND PUT ON DIAGNOSTICS. I EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT I THOUGHT THE ISSUE MIGHT BE, THE THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM I HAD READ ABOUT. THEY PUT IT ON DIAGNOSTICS, BUT THE ONLY CODE WHICH CAME UP WAS A P0456, SAYING I NEEDED TO REPLACE A VALVE--THIS CODE IS INDICATED BY THE "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT, AND NOT THE "WRENCH". HE SAID THEY COULD FIND NO CODES FOR THE "WRENCH" LIGHT. I TOLD HIM THAT WAS STRANGE, BECAUSE THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I LOST POWER. HE TOLD ME THE P0456 COULD MAKE THE CAR HAVE THE SAME TYPES OF ISSUES. I TOLD HIM I HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH THE P0456 CODE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, AND IT HAD NEVER AFFECTED THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE, SO I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD DO IT NOW. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUES OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING, BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME PREVIOUSLY WHEN THEY SAW THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE, THERE WAS ALWAYS A CODE. NOT SURE WHY THERE IS NO CODE SHOWING UP, BUT THAT ALSO SEEMS TO BE COMMON. GUESS I WILL TAKE MY CHANCES DRIVING AT THIS POINT. *TR |
