This factory service and repair manual is written for that first-year build, with procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules for both engines, so you are not relying on figures from a later five-passenger Ascender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngines covered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.2L inline-six — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.3L V8 — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody styles covered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-door sport utility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrims covered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnown issues on the 2003 Ascender.\u003c\/strong\u003e Five recalls are on federal record.

A fifth recall covers rear side door latches that can corrode shut or fail to latch in salt-belt states. NHTSA has also logged 35 owner complaints, most often about the electrical system and exterior lighting.
