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.
Engine misfire:
Poor engine performance or a no-start condition may be the result of a loose fuel-hose clamp causing an internal leak. (2000)
Steering problems:
Replacement steering wheels (on cars shipped with the wrong wheel) may have been installed without sufficiently tightening the locking nut. (2000)
Vehicle noise:
A droning noise at highway speeds while in 5th gear was being corrected by replacing the halfshafts. (2000)
Windows:
The rear-window regulator cable may break, making it impossible to open or close the window. (2000-01)
