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:
The air conditioner stops working because the evaporator ices up, requiring replacement of the thermostat on the evaporator. (1990-93)
Doors:
Ice can build up under the front fender and, when the door is opened, the door and fender are damaged. A new fender liner is available to prevent buildup. (1990-94)
Engine mounts:
Vibration at idle (unless caused by engine problems) is corrected with revised motor mounts. (1990-91)
Keys:
The ignition key can be hard to remove because the lens over the shift lever interferes with the shift cable. (1992)
Oil leak:
Oil leak from the distributor shaft on 2.3-liter engine. (1990-93)
Steering noise:
Knocking in the steering column is caused by a defective steering-shaft joint that must be replaced. (1991-92)
Steering noise:
A knocking noise when the steering wheel is turned requires a steering-column repair kit. (1990-94) Lack of grease causes squawks in column. (1993-94)
