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.
Brakes:
Front brake vibration requires resurfacing the rotors (2000); new rear brake pads are available to replace the originals that vibrated (1999-2000); and new starwheel parking-brake adjusters are available to eliminate vibrations. (2000-01)
Engine noise:
Idler pulleys for the supercharger belt on 3.4L V6 engines may rattle because the bearings spin on the shaft requiring replacement with a revised pulley. (2000)
Engine temperature:
Temperature gauge reads hot when actual engine temperature is normal. A revised gauge is available. (2000-01)
