1. CVT Transmission Issues

   • Problem: The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) may experience jerking, slipping, or failure.
   • Symptoms: Poor acceleration, shuddering at low speeds, or sudden loss of power.
   • Cause: Overheating of the CVT fluid, wear on internal components, or electronic control module faults.
   • Solution: Regularly change the CVT fluid, install a transmission cooler, or replace/repair the transmission.

2. Battery Drain

   • Problem: Excessive parasitic drain causing the battery to die prematurely.
   • Symptoms: Difficulty starting, especially after the vehicle is parked for a few days.
   • Cause: Faulty electrical components, such as a defective alternator or electrical modules not shutting off properly.
   • Solution: Check for parasitic draws, replace faulty components, and ensure proper battery maintenance.

3. Suspension Wear

   • Problem: Premature wear of suspension components such as shocks, struts, and bushings.
   • Symptoms: Clunking noises over bumps, poor handling, or uneven tire wear.
   • Cause: Worn-out suspension components or driving over rough surfaces frequently.
   • Solution: Replace worn suspension parts, including struts, shocks, and bushings, to restore ride quality.

4. Steering Column Noise

   • Problem: Knocking or clicking sounds from the steering column.
   • Symptoms: Noises when turning the steering wheel, especially at low speeds or when stationary.
   • Cause: Wear on the intermediate steering shaft or loose connections in the steering column.
   • Solution: Inspect the steering column, tighten loose connections, or replace the steering shaft.

5. Interior Trim Rattles

   • Problem: Rattling noises from the dashboard, doors, or other interior components.
   • Symptoms: Persistent rattles or vibrations when driving, especially on rough roads.
   • Cause: Loose trim panels or poor fitment of interior components.
   • Solution: Secure or replace loose trim pieces and add padding or insulation to reduce noise.

6. Air Conditioning Problems

   • Problem: Weak or failing air conditioning system.
   • Symptoms: Weak airflow, inability to cool the cabin, or strange noises from the A/C system.
   • Cause: Refrigerant leaks, faulty compressor, or clogged condenser.
   • Solution: Recharge the A/C refrigerant, fix leaks, or replace faulty components such as the compressor.

7. Faulty Ignition Coils

   • Problem: Ignition coil failures leading to engine misfires.
   • Symptoms: Rough idle, poor fuel economy, engine misfires, or a check engine light.
   • Cause: Worn or failing ignition coils.
   • Solution: Replace faulty ignition coils and spark plugs as needed.

8. Brake Wear

   • Problem: Premature brake wear or noise.
   • Symptoms: Grinding or squealing noises, reduced braking efficiency, or vibrations when braking.
   • Cause: Worn-out brake pads, rotors, or calipers.
   • Solution: Regularly inspect and replace brake pads and rotors, and ensure proper lubrication of calipers.

9. Electrical Malfunctions (Power Windows, Locks)

   • Problem: Issues with power windows or door locks failing to work properly.
   • Symptoms: Windows not rolling up/down or door locks not engaging.
   • Cause: Faulty switches, motor failures, or wiring issues.
   • Solution: Test and replace malfunctioning switches or motors and check for wiring continuity.

10. Fuel Injector Problems

    • Problem: Clogged or failing fuel injectors.
    • Symptoms: Rough idling, engine misfires, poor acceleration, or reduced fuel efficiency.
    • Cause: Carbon buildup in the fuel injectors.
    • Solution: Clean or replace fuel injectors, and use fuel additives to reduce carbon buildup.

General Maintenance Tips

• Regular oil changes to prevent engine wear.
• CVT fluid replacement every 60,000 miles to avoid transmission issues.
• Periodic suspension and brake checks to maintain ride quality and safety.
• Battery health checks to prevent electrical system failures.
