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 CD player skips if the vertical/horizontal switch is out of adjustment. (1995-2000)

Battery: The Premium-V radio drains the battery if the technician's test equipment is removed before the entire test sequence is finished. (1999)

Horn: Water gets into the horn and distorts the sound unless a splash shield is installed. (1997)

Transmission leak: The final drive unit was factory filled with automatic-transmission fluid that leaks from the vent. Later models were filled with final drive oil which will also fix the leak problem on these models. (1994-96)

Consumer Guide® Estimated Repair Costs
