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:
Burnt transmission fluid and no reverse gear may signal a defective rear control valve and low/reverse brake. (1993-94)
Automatic transmission:
If the transmission does not shift properly until warmed up, make sure it is filled only with Nissanmatic "C" transmission fluid. (All)
Check-engine light:
Clogged fuel injectors may cause hesitation and check engine light. (1997-98)
Coolant leak:
Coolant may leak from the front of the cylinder head, which may appear to be a head gasket, but comes from a threaded plug in the front of the head. (1993-95)
Doors:
A rattle in either of the front doors may be caused by the door-guard-beam spot welds breaking loose. (1993-94)
Heater core:
Leaking heater cores require a restrictor in the heater inlet hose. (1993-98)
Suspension noise:
A new stabilizer bar and bushings are needed if there is a crunching or scraping noise from the front end. (1993-95)
Tail/brake lights:
If the tail/brake lights work intermittently, the socket may be loose from the plastic connector. (1993-95)
