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.
Air conditioner:
Lack of cooling is caused by the AC evaporator freezing up because the compressor does not cycle off. (1991-93)
Automatic transmission:
Transmission may shudder when accelerating from a stop, thump when coasting down to a stop or slip when shifting. (1990-93)
Automatic transmission:
Transaxle may have delayed shift when car first started, which requires replacement of the valve body and filter. (1993)
Engine noise:
Piston slap requires replacement pistons and rods on 3.3- and 3.8-liter engines. (1990-93)
Engine noise:
The serpentine belt may squeal unless a new tensioner and belt are installed after the mounting bracket hole on the power steering pump is chamfered. (1991-93)
Suspension noise:
Sway bar bushing wear causes a squeaking noise from the front suspension. (1992-93)
