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:
An accelerator switch that is out of adjustment causes harsh coast-down downshifts. (1994)
Automatic transmission:
The pulse generator often gets installed backwards after a transmission rebuild resulting in third-gear starts. (1994)

Intermittent rough idle and stalling upon acceleration due to a bad ground connection for the engine control computer. (1993)
Transmission leak:
The transmission cooler hoses are prone to leaking, which can result in transmission failure. (1993)
