Known Issues
Transmission Failure:
The 42LE transmission can be prone to wear and eventual failure, particularly if fluid changes are neglected. Common issues include solenoid failures and torque converter problems.
Intake Manifold Gaskets:
Some models can experience coolant leaks from intake manifold gaskets, leading to overheating.
Power Window Motors:
Power window regulators and motors can wear out and fail.
Heater Core:
The heater core is notoriously difficult to access and can fail, leading to coolant leaks into the cabin and fogging.
Suspension Components:
Ball joints, tie rod ends, and control arm bushings can wear over time, affecting steering and ride quality.
