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.

Electrical problem: The interior lights will not go out or will not come on because of a blown fuse because of a damaged wiring harness in the roof area. (1998-99)

Electrical problem: Moisture getting inside the car behind the kick panels makes the windows, door locks and power mirrors operate by themselves. (1998)

Engine misfire: Drivability problems occur when the speed-sensor wires pull out of the transmission. (1999)

Fuel gauge: If gas tank is slow to fill or repeatedly trips nozzle, a revised fuel tank vent kit may be required. (2000-01)

Headlights: Instrument lights may get bright and dim, and headlights and/or fog lights may come on spontaneously due to loose or corroded connector at the headlight switch. (2000-04)

Keyless entry: Keyless entry transmitter range may be less than 10-feet requiring. A revised antenna will extend range. (1998-99)

Oil leak: The oil-filter adapter may come out of the engine block when the filter is removed on 3.2L and 3.5L engines. When this happens the adapter must be replaced, not reinstalled. (1998-99)

Steering problems: Power steering may feel heavy in cold weather unless the improved fluid is used. (1998-99)
