Trouble Spots
Consumer Guide's® Auto Editors have scoured repair bulletins and questioned mechanics to search
for commonly occurring problems for a particular vehicle. In some cases we also give possible manufacturer-suggested
solutions. In many instances these trouble spots are Technical Service Bulletins posted by the manufacturer,
however, we have our own expert looking at additional vehicle problems.
Battery:
Battery may go dead overnight on cars with electronic level control (1990-92)
Dashboard lights:
Occasionally the gauges on the instrument cluster do not work properly (except the tachometer) until the engine is warm. (1990)
Engine noise:
A rattling noise on cold startups could be due to oil-pump starvation and cavitation in the automatic transmission. Accoding to GM, this will not harm the transmission. (1991-92)
Engine noise:
Bearing knock was common due to too much clearance on the number-one main bearing. (1992)
