Recalls
Check with the seller to ensure that the recall work was completed on
these items.
1996: Horn may work only intermittently, due to insufficient electrical
ground contact.
1996-97: Discharge of static electricity in low-humidity conditions can
activate driver's airbag when driver enters or exits car.
1996-97: The plastic ignition switch housing can fracture causing the
ignition key to stick and making certain electrical accessories
(windshield wipers, headlights) inoperative.
1997: Rear-seatbelt retractors may not lock properly, or may not remain
locked.
1997-99: Control valve in vacuum hose may not open or close fully at
temperatures below four degrees (F) under certain conditions; could
cause insufficient vacuum to be provided to brake booster.
1998: If engine backfires during cold-start, an air screen loosely
seated in airflow meter can become damaged; screen pieces could enter
intake system and prevent the throttle plate from returning to its full
idle position.
1998-99: Some tie-rod seals may not seal properly; if moisture and/or
dust enters swivel mechanism, bearing could wear over time.
Trouble Spots
Check for these possible problems when test-driving and inspecting this
vehicle.
Brakes: Jump starting a dead battery, or charging the battery with more
than 16 volts, may blow the fuse to the ABS system. (1996)
Cruise control: The cruise control may not hold the set speed requiring
replacement of the vacuum servo. (1996)
Dashboard lights: The check-engine light may come on with less than
three gallons in the fuel tank. This can lead to a lean misfire. (1996)
Dashboard lights: Using cheap gas can cause carbon buildup on the
valves, pistons, and combustion chamber, which will cause poor idling
and illuminate the check-engine light. (1996)
Engine misfire: If the battery is disconnected, the engine may idle
rough or lack power requiring recalibration of the throttle valve
control module. (1997)
Fuel gauge: The fuel gauge may not register full, due to a bad
electrical ground connection. (1996)
Hard starting: The engine speed (crankshaft position) sensor can come
loose causing the engine to crank, but not start. (1997-98)
Rough idle: Dirty throttle body bore and throttle control module
commonly cause rough or low idle. (1997-01)
Sunroof/moonroof: Broken sunroof slides may cause binding noise. Each
can be replaced individually. (1999-2000)
