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.
Audio system:
The Bose amplifier causes interference on cellular phones requiring a filter on the phone-antenna cable. (1993)
Check-engine light:
The check-engine light may come on and indicate a transmission problem. This is due to a faulty throttle position sensor. (1996-97)
Climate control:
The automatic climate control occasionally blows hot air for no apparent reason. There are about five different fixes. (1993)
Rough idle:
Varnish buildup on the throttle body can make throttle difficult to operate smoothly and lead to an unstable idle. (1993-97)
