98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD
| 175000 mi US $360 |
Loud Noise/Hum emanating from rear of car developed over the winter time; I thought it was the snow tires. When I changed over from snows to summer tires, the noise remained and I diagnosed problem to rear wheel bearings. |
| 24240 mi | Steering column assembly knocking noise when turning. |
| 38180 mi | Replaced steering rack |
| 42160 mi | Steering rod rattling noise |
| 49160 mi | Readjust, tighten steering rod |
| 63000 mi US $800 |
A slight knock could be heard when turning, especially if turning in bumpy conditions. If turning under speed, a slight clicking sound was heard. Upper control arm bushing wore out early requiring a replacement. |
| 73500 mi | A slight knock could be heard when turning, especially if turning in bumpy conditions. If turning under speed, a slight clicking sound was heard. Upper control arm bushing wore out early requiring a replacement. This is the 2nd time for the same problem, at the same shop. We were told again that they could not reproduce the issue. Will return when time permits to take technicians for a test drive. |
| 3000 mi | The car had a "clunky" feel in the steering from new. It was only noticeable when moving the steering wheel large amounts at rest, and parking lot speed. The steering intermediate shaft was replaced, fixing the problem. Rough U-joint. |
