There is a plate on the lower right side of the driver's front door. It contains the VIN and a lot of info on the vehicle. On the top line of that plate on the far right is the build date (month and Year) for your car.

There were many problems with the '07 transmission in 2006-2007. Mine was replaced at 2,000 miles. You can search this web site for the avalanche of information.

Mine was a 6/2006 build bought in 7/2006. My tranny went south and was replaced at around 19k miles (car was about 1.5 years old)

Currently have around 46.5k miles. Been alright so far.

Powertrain warranty is 6yr/70k... but hope I don't need to use it.

I bought mine new in November 2006. I have not had any transmission problems. The car has been great.

I had an '07 with a 4/06 build date, purchased in late 4/06 that was problem free.

I was lucky...
