Known Issues
Common Issues:
Early models of the second generation had some reported issues with Active Control Suspension (if equipped), sometimes requiring module or sensor replacement. Minor electrical gremlins can occur. Camshaft seal leaks, oil cooler leaks (especially on later models or higher mileage cars) can be present. Intake manifold issues on 3.2L engines are not uncommon. The electronic climate control system can sometimes develop faults. Haldex AWD system maintenance (fluid and filter changes) is crucial for longevity.
