NHTSA Recall History
1996-98:
Ball joints on certain cars could wear out prematurely and, in worst case, separate and cause front suspension to collapse.
1996-99:
Bolt can loosen and fall out, allowing transmission to disengage from differential. Not only would the vehicle lose power to drive wheels without warning, but shifting into "Park" would not lock the wheels.
2000:
Brake master cylinder may have internal corrosion, resulting in reduced braking performance and increased stopping distances. Dealers will replace the master cylinder assembly, reservoir, and brake fluid.
2000-02:
Oil applied during manufacture can leak into the brake stop switch and contaminate the electrical contacts.
