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.

Engine misfire: The engine may idle rough due to buildup of deposits on the idle speed control motor. (1992-95)

Engine misfire: Automatic-transmission models may vibrate at idle due to the radiator being installed incorrectly. (1992-95)

Fuel pump: The vehicle is sensitive to fuel starvation caused by a clogged in-tank filter. (1992-95)

Paint/body: Paint on the roof rack fades and peels. (1992-93)

Steering noise: The front suspension may rattle or make popping noises because the dust boots on the upper ball joints wear out. (1992-93)

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.
