    NHTSA recalls 82V037, 83V095, 87V008 addressed reports of sudden acceleration when shifting from Park. NHTSA concluded most incidents were pedal misapplication (driver error); 60 Minutes segment (1986) amplified controversy. Recall fix: shift interlock requiring brake press before leaving Park.

    1983-1985 models; outer rubber layer cracks in cold weather; recall 85V099, 96E006. Cost: $200-$400.
  • Fuel System Leaks (Severity: high)
    Fuel distributor misadjustment, injector seal hardening (alcohol fuels); recalls 86V103, 89V006. Cost: $300-$600.
  • Seat Belt Lock Failure (Severity: medium)
    1986-1987 models; front/rear belt locks may not engage; recall 86V113. Cost: recall fix.
  • Transaxle Oil Loss (Severity: high)
    1985+ models; differential oil evaporates over time; causes bearing/gear failure; recall 93V006. Cost: $800-$1,500.
Generation NHTSA IIHS

  • Transmission
    Test automatic shift-lock mechanism. Check differential oil level - chronic evaporation is common on 1985+ models.
  • Safety & Brakes
    Check brake hoses for cracks (especially in cold climates). Verify seat belt locks engage securely on all positions.
  • Provenance
    Decode VIN to confirm production year, trim, and engine. Beware of title-washing or odometer rollback on 30+ year old cars.
Annual Maintenance Repair Range Insurance Depreciation
$600-$900 (classic car; parts may be scarce) $800-$2,000/year $800-$1,200/year (classic/collector rates) Minimal (classic appreciation potential)
