Vehicle made from wood reportedly full of problems (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

beach buggy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'vehicle' is the definition.
(vehicle on a beach)

'wood reportedly full of problems' is the wordplay.
'wood' becomes 'beech' (beech is a kind of wood).
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'full of problems' becomes 'buggy' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'beech' is a homophone of 'beach'.
'beach'+'buggy'='BEACH BUGGY'

'made from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beach buggy that I've seen before include "Vehicle to be driven on sand" , "Transport with balloon tyres for driving on sand" , "open car" , "Motor vehicle for the seashore" , "carrier in bay perhaps?" .)
