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:
The check-engine light may come on when the vehicle is driven at wide-open throttle. (1997)
Manual transmission:
Hard shifting, gear clash, may come from the manual transmission due to a failure of the first-second gear synchronizers, while screeching noises are due to failed second-third synchros. (1992-95)
Paint/body:
Paint on the roof rack fades and peels. (1992-93)
Steering problems:
Shudder while cornering may be minimized by adding Mitsubishi Limited Slip Differential Additive to the rear differential. (1997)
Vehicle noise:
Popping noise during slow speed maneuvers may be caused by the torsion bar hitting the frame. (1992-96)
