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.

Dashboard lights: If the 4WD transfer-shift rod is installed wrong, the 4WD warning light comes on when climbing hills or accelerating hard. (1990-91)

Doors: The fabric for the door panels peels away and can be reattached with super glue. (1990-92)

Electrical problem: Exposed electrical connectors are prone to corrosion and need to be cleaned then packed with dielectric silicone grease. (1990-94)

Exhaust system: The exhaust system rattles at around 2500 rpm due to a problem with the flex joint. (1991)

Transmission leak: Automatic-transmission fluid leaks occur at the check balls mounted on the outside of the transmission. (1990)

This table lists costs of likely repairs for comparison with other vehicles. The dollar amount includes the cost of the part(s) and labor (based on $50 per hour) for the typical repair without extras or add-ons. Like the pricing information, replacement costs can vary widely depending on region. Expect charges at a new-car dealership to be slightly higher.
