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.
Air conditioner:
A growling noise from the A/C is probably due to the A/C line rubbing on the air-filter housing. A revised line must be installed. (1997-99)
Dashboard lights:
The low-tire-pressure warning may blink intermittently. If the pressure is not actually low, the pressure sensor(s) will be replaced. (1997-99)
Dashboard lights:
Low tire-pressure warning light might indicate a faulty sensor/transmitter. (1997-99)
Fuel gauge:
If fuel tank does not fill completely or is slow to fill, and updated filler neck and hose are available. (1997-01)
Fuel pump:
When refueling, the pump nozzle may keep clicking off and/or the tank may stop accepting fuel when it is only half-full due to a problem with the filler neck. A revised neck is available. (1997-99)
Hard starting:
Reprogramming the powertrain control module could aid cold start idle quality. (1997)
Oil leak:
In colder weather, oil may be forced out of the differential case vent. (1997-00)
Vehicle noise:
A fluttering or vibrating noise from the center dash vents means the HVAC mode door needs to be recalibrated which is done by removing the battery cable, turning the blower switch to high, and reconnecting the battery cable. (1999-2000)
