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.
Check-engine light:
Clogged fuel injectors may cause hesitation and check engine light. (1999-01)
Engine misfire:
Poor idle quality or stiff accelerator action is often traced to a dirty throttle body. Can be caused by overfilling the oil in the crankcase. (1999-2000)
Heater core:
Leaking heater cores require a restrictor in the heater inlet hose. (1999-2000)
Vehicle noise:
Rattling or banging noises from the rear are due to the leaf-spring supports hitting the mountings. Washers were being installed as shims under warranty. (1999)
Windows:
The second and/or third windows may pop open as doors are closed or may not latch properly due to maladjustment of the latches. (1999)
Wipers:
Replacing the turn-signal/wiper combination switch can cure erratic windshield wiper operation. This is part of a Nissan service campaign. (1999)
Wipers:
The wipers may operate on their own due to a faulty multifunction. (1999)
