Grade: A
One-Line Summary
A truly bulletproof luxury SUV that blends opulent comfort with unparalleled ruggedness, demanding informed maintenance for its advanced systems.
Top 3 Risk Areas
Active Height Control (AHC) System
80,000-150,000 mi
The complex hydraulic suspension can develop leaks in lines or accumulators, or the pump can fail, leading to uneven ride height or complete system malfunction. This is often due to age and lack of fluid service.
Secondary Air Injection Pump System
60,000-120,000 mi
Common failure where the pump or check valves fail, preventing the system from injecting air into the exhaust during cold start, triggering a 'Check Engine' light and often failing emissions tests. Moisture intrusion is a known culprit.
Aging Infotainment & Electronics
100,000-150,000+ mi
While generally robust, the older navigation screen can dim or fail, and various sensors or power accessory motors (windows, seats) can exhibit age-related failures. This is typical for vehicles of this vintage.
