Known Issues
|
|
Engine Performance:
|
Potential for sludge buildup with irregular maintenance on higher mileage engines, especially the 6A13TT. Check for oil leaks.
|
|
Transmission Automatic:
|
Can develop shifting issues or solenoid failures with age and mileage; regular fluid changes are critical.
|
|
Suspension:
|
Worn bushings, ball joints, and struts are common on older vehicles, leading to knocking sounds and poor handling.
|
|
Electrical Systems:
|
Corrosion on wiring connectors, particularly in damp climates. Window regulators and central locking can sometimes fail.
