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.
Dashboard lights:
Driving with less than 3 gallons of fuel in the tank may illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp caused by a lean misfire. (1995)
Dashboard lights:
If the wrong thermostat (too cold) is installed, it will trigger the malfunction indicator lamp. (1992-97)
Fuel gauge:
The fuel gauge may not read accurately due to a loose ground wire at the left taillight. (1993-95)
