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 #96V024002February 28, 19962,500 vehicles affected

  service brakes, hydraulic: power assist: hydraulic

  The studs which attach the brake master cylinder to the power brake vacuum booster assembly Can develop stress corrosion cracking after being operated for an extended period of time in the southern california location.

  If a crack occurs, it could result in one or both studs fracturing. The master cylinder could then separate from the vacuum booster, when the brakes are applied, preventing the service brakes from fully activating increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.

  Remedy

  Dealers will replace the power brake vacuum booster assembly.

• NHTSA recall #95V231002December 20, 19952,000 vehicles affected

  vehicle speed control

  During extreme cold, northern climate winter conditions, ice Can form in the throttle body of the engine causing the throttle plate to remain in the highway cruising position after the accelerator is released or the speed control is deactivated.

  The vehicle stopping distances Can be increased possibly resulting in an accident.

  Remedy

  Dealers will replace the air intake duct and valve assembly with revised units.

• NHTSA recall #94V169002October 31, 199448,609 vehicles affected

  parking brake: conventional

  The parking brake control self-adjust pawl does not line up properly with the self-adjust rachet causing the pawl to slip over one or more teeth in the rachet.

  When the above occurs, it Can result in parking brake system ineffectiveness. The parking brake will not hold the vehicle, causing the vehicle to roll freely, if the transmission is not left in gear.

  Remedy

  A wedge will be installed which will serve to lock the parking brake self-adjust mechanism pawl into engagement with the rachet. Also, owners will be advised to release and reapply the parking brake whenever tooth skip occurs and will be reminded to always turn off the engine and leave the vehicle in gear when the vehicle is parked.
