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.
Accessory belt:
Serpentine drive belt comes off when idler pulley breaks. Should be replaced as a dealer recall. (2000)
Climate control:
If the heating, air conditioning, and ventilation systems do not work properly, a new circuit board (logic control) must be installed. (1997)
Engine misfire:
Some vehicles were built with a crankshaft timing gear that was not properly hardened. If it has already been replaced, you will see red paint on the engine's front lifting eye. The company is replacing the gears beyond the normal warranty period. (1995-96)
Fuel odors:
When refueling, the pump nozzle may click off at full flow requiring a much slower flow due to a twisted breather pipe at the fuel-tank filler neck. (1992-96)
Hard starting:
Difficult starting or a no-start is probably due to a bad ignition coil which has overheated. (The pitch may have even leaked out.) The ignition module is the root cause. (1992-94)
Oil leak:
A revised output seal can remedy transfer gearbox oil leak. (1992-98)
Transmission leak:
Water can enter the transmission breather tube and, in cold weather, freeze causing the transmission to leak. (1995-98)
Transmission noise:
The transfer case makes a whining noise, but a gear-lever kit has been designed to fix it. (1994-95)
