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:
The air-conditioner expansion valve makes a buzzing noise. The valve and an attached tube must be replaced to remedy the problem. (1998-99)
Brake noise:
Rear brake squeaks are corrected with revised brake pads. (1998-99)
Hard starting:
The engine may fail to start if: the engine immobilizer system key's ring is over the top of the key; a Mobil-type transponder is on the key ring; or if another immobilizer key is on the same key ring. (1998-2001)
Transmission noise:
The transmission makes a chattering noise when shifting from reverse to neutral or park. An additional check ball installed in the valve body will fix the problem. (1998)
Vehicle noise:
Numerous squeaks and rattles from the glovebox and center console. (1998)
