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.

Audio system: RX-367 audio systems and rear CD changers suffer from alternator noise through the speakers. (1993)

Brakes: Either of the front brake hoses can break under full-lock steering maneuvers when the suspension is also at its maximum travel, and dealers will replace them with revised hoses. (1993)

Convertible top: Spyder models may have difficulties with the retractable hardtop operation, particularly after a collision.

Fuel pump: The vehicle is sensitive to fuel starvation caused by a clogged in-tank filter. (1991-96)

Hard starting: Corrosion in the connector behind the right headlight may prevent car from starting. (1991-92)

Horn: The horn button pops out of the steering wheel. (1994-95)

Water leak: Water leaks in through the rear latch area of the tilt-up sunroof. (1992-93)
