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:
The company is replacing the 5-speed automatic transmissions whenever they are in the shop for other service due to an unspecified problem that could lead to a failure. (1999)
Dashboard lights:
Oil-pressure gauge reads low when energy-saving motor oils are used. (1995)
Dashboard lights:
A check-engine light may be caused by a faulty air-injection check valve. (1995)
Hard starting:
Hard restarting when the engine has warmed up due to a problem with the fuel-pressure control valve. (1995-96)
Power seat:
The power-seat fuse repeatedly blows, so Jaguar suggests replacing the original fuse with one having a 20-amp rating. (1995)
Transmission leak:
Transmission fluid leak at dipstick could be due to a blockage of the transmission breather pipe. (1995-01)
