Rating

Mechanical Design Vulnerabilities: Major transmission failure rates on both 4-cylinder and V6 automatics. Failure Modes: Transmission slip, EGR valve clogging. Repair: High DIY potential but 4AT failure is a 'when' not 'if'.

Recall: 02V120000 (Ignition switch), Takata Airbags. Legal: Transmission warranty extensions.
Vehicle Control:
None. Rating: 0/10.
Driver Control:
None. Rating: Excellent.

None. Rating: Excellent.
Recommendation:
Conditional. Only recommended with a manual transmission. The automatics of this era are a liability.
