| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 1987 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | THE BRAKES WOULD FAIL TO STOP VEHICLE AFTER BEING APPLIED. WHEN WAITING AT STOP LIGHT & WOULD START TO GO, VEHICLE WOULD STALL OUT FOR NO REASON. ALSO, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY WORK WHEN IN USE. WOULD CAUSE POOR VISIBILITY TO THE DRIVER AT TIME OF NEED. |
| 1997 | INTERIOR LIGHTING | DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON DASH STAYS ON. SOMETIMES OCASIONALLY IT GOES OFF, INTERIOR LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF BECAUSE OF IT, RESULTING IN A DEAD BATTERY, BACK WINDOW DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. THE DEALER THINKS I'M CRAZY CAUSE WHENEVER I TAKE IT IN TO BE REPAIRED THE LIGHTS ARE ALL OFF. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A RELAY SWITCH AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT AND IT STILL IS BROKEN. *AK |
