One or Both Head Lights May Not Work

Reverse Gear Failures and/or Noise From Manual Transmission
Reverse gear failures in the manual transmission models are common.
Inspect Brakes at Every Service as Rear Brakes Wear Out Quickly
The rear brakes tend to wear out quickly; rotors may need replacement by the first brake job. Our technicians recommend that the brakes be inspected for wear regularly.
Loss of Power Due to Oil and Carbon Build Up in Intake Manifold
Oil and carbon tend to build up, creating restrictions in the intake manifold. Symptoms will be loss of power (sometimes severe) and poor fuel economy.
Correct Maintenance of Timing Belt
To ensure longevity of the engine, our technicians recommend to follow the maintenance schedule for the timing belt.
Vehicles Using Biofuels May Have Injection Pump Failures
Cars using biofuel typically have problems with injection pump failures; symptoms can include a "no start" condition or external pump leaks.
Flasher Relay Failure Can Cause Erratic Turn Signal Operation
Erratic turn signal operation can be a result of a failing turn signal flasher relay which will require replacement.
Power Window May Fail Due to Window Regulator
