| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 1997 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP | VEHICLE WOULDN'T START DUE TO FUEL PUMP FAILURE. ONCE PART WAS REPLACED, OLD FUEL PUMP SHOWED BURNED AREAS. FUEL PUMP IS AVAILABE FOR INVESTIGATIONS. CONSUMER HIT A DEER AND HAD FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS OF DAMAGE DUE TO A 35-40 MPH IMPACT. DEER HIT IN FRONT OF VEHICLE AND SMASHED INTO THE WINDSHIELD. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF. *AK |
| 1996 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) AND THE SOLENOID PACK. HOWEVER, IT IS APPARENT THAT THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF IS FAULTY, AS IT MAKES A "MOANING" SOUND AT WHAT I PRESUME ARE THE SHIFT POINTS. DEALER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE AS A PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH IT IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. ORIGINAL DIAGNOSED PROBLEM, FAILURE OF THE TCM, WOULD CAUSE THE AUTO TO GO INTO "LIMP-IN" MODE. (AUTO DEFAULTS TO SECOND GEAR, WHICH WOULD HAPPEN AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED.) |
