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.
Automatic transmission:
To correct a delay when shifting from neutral or park into Drive or Reverse, it is necessary to replace the transmission's solenoid valve set. (1992-93)
Exhaust system:
Cars with turbo engines had an emissions recall to replace the oxygen sensor with one that could endure higher temperatures. (1991-92)
Manual transmission:
Manual transmissions in which the shifter does not move smoothly between gears need a bottle of friction modifier added to the oil through the speedometer gear opening. (1991-92)
Vehicle shake:
Vibrations in automatic-transmission models are probably due to the upper radiator-mounting posts not being centered in the mounting brackets. (1990-93)
