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:
The automatic-transmission front pump may wear out prematurely due to excessive runout of the torque-converter hub. (1992-96)
Electrical problem:
The rear-defogger grid is easily damaged if it is not cleaned properly or by objects on the rear shelf. (1992-96)
