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:
Delayed shifts from second to third, or third to fourth when the transmission fluid is cold, may appear to be a malfunction, but it is not. (1993-94)
Doors:
The sliding door goes out of adjustment causing it to hit the rear of the front door. Installing shims will fix the problem. (1992)
Doors:
The sliding doors may be hard to open due to a variety of problems including a faulty latch connecting rod clip, rear door lock holder, or striker that is out of adjustment. (1992-95)

Replacement Vehicle Emission Control Information decals were sent to original owners because the original 1.8-liter engine valve clearance specs were wrong on vehicles built before mid-December 1992. (1993)
Rough idle:
A bad electrical ground in the engine compartment or at the powertrain control module causes intermittent rough and/or high idle. (1992)
