- Electronic Parking Brake FailureModerate
The internal gears of the EPB module strip, causing it to jam or screech.
- Air Suspension Compressor and Bag FailuresSerious
The air suspension system suffers from perished air bags, failing compressors, and leaking valves. The compressor overworks when bags leak and eventually fails.
- 2.7 TDV6 Timing Chain and Oil Pump FailureSerious
The timing belt tensioner bolts to the oil pump casing on pre-2007 models. The casing cracks, causing belt slip and catastrophic engine damage. Spun crankshaft bearings are also common from oil starvation.
