Complaint history

When NHTSA received these reports. Changes in reporting alone do not establish a change in failure rates.

Problems owners report

Listed groups have at least 3 complaints. The page includes the 20 largest groups plus any additional flagged groups; some complaints are not assigned to a group.

AI groups complaints by meaning; the groups are approximate. Share ratio compares the problem’s share of this vehicle’s complaints with its share on other vehicles over the last 24 months (shown from 3 recent complaints). A 2× ratio means twice the complaint share, not twice the failure risk. Flags mark unusual shares or recent surges after an AI review of the complaint content. “First signal” does not mean the pattern has persisted continuously.How recall estimates are calculated.

Recalls

• NHTSA recall #96V099000June 13, 1996321,000 vehicles affected

  service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip

  The ABS hydraulic control unit Can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.

  If this condition occurs, the ABS function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

  Remedy

  Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. Also the warranty on all ABS components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). Owners will also be reimbursed for previous ABS component repair costs.

• NHTSA recall #91V191000November 1, 199180,000 vehicles affected

  service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

  The anti-lock brake system high pressure hose may leak or detach at its crimped end fitting resulting in the discharge of hydraulic fluid.

  Fluid discharge eventually causes the loss of both theanti-lock brake system and hydraulic assist for the brake system, resulting inincreased likelihood of brake lockup and increased stopping distances, whichcould result in a vehicle accident.

  Remedy

  Replace the ABS high pressure hose with a hose of different design and construction.

• NHTSA recall #91V004000October 2, 1991125,000 vehicles affected

  visibility: defroster/defogger/hvac system: fan/motor

  Water leaking under windshield cowl in area above heater blower motor resistor block results in corrosion of the resistor terminals.

  Corrosion of the resistor terminals increases electricalresistance, leading to overheating and possble ignition of the wiring connectorsand insulation, causing a fire in the cowl area.

  Remedy

  The blower motor resistor block will be replaced, and a mastic patch applied to seal the cowl against water entry. Damaged wire connectors will be replaced.

• NHTSA recall #91V122000July 11, 1991130,000 vehicles affected

  seat belts: front: anchorage

  Front outboard safety belt may become difficult to latch and or unlatch due to a webbing stiffener entering the buckle housing and dislodging the buckle latch guide.

  Latch may open during accident or sudden stop, exposingseat occupant to increased risk of injury.

  Remedy

  Replace buckle latch engagement.

• NHTSA recall #90V162000September 4, 199018,000 vehicles affected

  service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: disc: caliper

  Front disc brake caliper guide pin bolts may not have been adequately torqued and could loosen.

  This could cause reduced braking effectiveness and couldresult in an accident.

  Remedy

  Properly torque front brake caliper guide pin bolts to 250 pounds.
