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.
Coolant leak:
Heater hoses may leak due to insufficiently tightened clamps causing coolant to puddle on intake manifold of 4.0-L engine. (1999)
Sunroof/moonroof:
Sunroof may jam and dealers were replacing both the front and rear assemblies at no charge. (1999)
Water leak:
Plugged drain holes (excess sealant) in the fresh-air intake plenum causes water to enter passenger compartment during torrential rains and/or carwashes. (1999)
Windows:
The rear-window glass may break from stress caused by the CHMSL (center high-mounted stoplamp) housing. (1999)
