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)
