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 may not work (or may stay on) and/or the overhead courtesy lights may flicker due to damaged wiring near the trunk light or bad terminal in the courtesy-light connector. (1999)
Keyless entry:
The range of the optional automatic garage door opener is poor. A replacement antenna is available. (2000)
Steering noise:
Pinhole leaks in the rubber bellows of the steering gear may cause a rattle from the front end. (1999-2000)
Steering problems:
Loose or sloppy steering feel may be due to bad inner tie-rod bushings. (1999-2001)
Vehicle noise:
Front end makes a squeaking noise when going over speed bumps, etc. due to problem with MacPherson struts' striker caps.
