Few reports of engine sludge build-up in pre-facelift models. Early models have failing cooling-fan relays. If water leaks into passenger-side floor, a new a/c evaporator drain-hose is needed. Dealer can fix moaning rear brakes by installing "anti-rattle" strips. Flickering instrument-panel lights means new body control module is needed. Engine chirping noises caused by serpentine drive-belt secondary-idle pulley, which should be replaced by a shorter belt from dealer. Transmission may suffer delayed response after sitting overnight due to split in the filter within fluid-cooler return line. Some reports of total transmission failure. See if factory recall for models before 2007 was performed, for lower ball joints which could rust and break. Rear cargo-area carpet wears quickly. Problems with power windows, central locking and tailgate lock. Rear differential, fuel pump and water pump may fail before 100,000 kms.
