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:
Noise from the radio when adjusting the power seat requires revised seat wiring harness. (2001)
Engine knock:
Models sold in California may have engine knock indicating possible welding flash entering the cylinders. (1997-98)
Engine noise:
Valve tap for a couple minutes after startup is considered normal. (1997-98)
Vehicle shake:
The vehicle may shudder when making low-speed turns and the condition may be corrected by adding a limited-slip differential additive. (1997)
