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.
Dashboard lights:
On early production vehicles, the check-engine light may come on reporting a problem with the oxygen sensors which are not the problem, but the powertrain-control module is misprogrammed. (2000)
Information stickers/paperwork:
A recall was issued because the tire-specifications label on the door and in the owner's manual was incorrect. Owners were sent stickers to update the information which buyers should look for to avoid replacing the tires with the wrong size. (2000)
Paint/body:
As a result of crash tests done by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the carmaker will install front bumper supports at no cost. (2000)
