Front coil springs were produced with poor paint quality which, after continued exposure to corrosive salt, can result in breakage of the spring.
1995-96:
Inadvertent airbag deployment could occur after undercarriage contact of tow hooks with curbs, dips, speed bumps, etc.
1996-97:
Due to improper welding, fractures can occur on support bracket of front transverse link, resulting in separation and failure of front suspension.
1997:
Hazard-warning switch can stick in intermediate position, so turn signals become inoperable.
1997:
Omitted bearing in throttle-body assembly could eventually lead to incomplete return of throttle, resulting in fast idle.

Due to poor welds, ignition key can stick, shift lever/linkages can break, and improper movement of shift lever can occur.

In extremely cold weather, master-cylinder seals could fail; brake pedal might then go to floor, increasing stopping distance.
