- 2.2L inline-five — SOHC, turbocharged, gasoline
- 2.0L inline-five — SOHC, turbocharged, diesel
Body styles covered
- 4-door wagon
- 4-door sedan
Trims covered
- Base
- CS Turbo
- S
- S Turbo
Known issues on the 1985 5000. Eight recalls are on federal record for this model year. The transaxle differential can lose oil to evaporation over time; the resulting low fluid causes premature bearing and gear wear and eventual differential failure, which can cause the drive wheels to lose power and, in extreme cases, the front wheels to lock, causing rapid deceleration and possible loss of vehicle control and an accident. Brake hose assemblies were found with inadequate crimps at the fitting, which can let a hose separate; if it does, loss of braking power can occur, increasing the potential for an accident. The idle stabilizer can wear excessively, causing engine idle fluctuations described as engine surge that worsen with use; the surge could ultimately see-saw to the extent that loss of vehicle control could occur if the brakes were not applied in time, risking a collision and injury in a confined space. Shifting from park to reverse or drive can trigger sudden acceleration from a stationary position; unexpected sudden acceleration without prior warning could result in a vehicle crash, causing injuries. A misadjusted fuel distributor can let fuel escape and be absorbed by the air filter; with fuel absorbed by the air filter and an engine backfire on restart, this fuel could ignite and result in an engine compartment fire. Malfunctions of internal components of the idle control unit could cause the idle stabilizer valve to activate outside its normal operating range, and idle RPM may become erratic and, in some instances, increase. Repeated topping off of the fuel tank during refueling reduces the expansion space within the tank, allowing vapors to escape from the charcoal filter to the outside rather than being drawn into the engine; escaping vapors could ignite from heat emitted by the exhaust system. Fuel injection seals may harden due to high temperature and alcohol in some fuels, allowing fuel to escape into the engine compartment; fuel dripping onto hot engine components could cause an engine compartment fire. Owners have filed 32 complaints for the year; no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a differential fluid check to tracing an idle surge or inspecting brake hose fittings, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1985 5000.
THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL OF THE TRANSAXLE IS LOST OVER TIME DUE TO EVAPORATION. LOW OIL LEVELS CAUSE PREMATURE BEARING AND GEAR WEAR AND EVENTUAL FAILURE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL.
Consequence
IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE, THE VEHICLE'S DRIVE WHEELS COULDLOSE POWER. IN EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES, THE FRONT WHEELS LOCK, CAUSING RAPIDDECELERATION RESULTING IN POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACC
Remedy
DRAIN AND REPLACE THE DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OIL WITH OIL HAVING HIGHER PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS.
THESE BRAKE HOSE ASSEMBLIES HAVE INADEQUATE CRIMPS ATTACHING THE HOSE TO THE HOSE FITTINGS AND COULD CAUSE THE HOSE AND FITTING TO SEPARATE.
Consequence
IF THE BRAKE HOSE ASSEMBLY SEPARATES, LOSS OF BRAKING POWER CAN OCCUR INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy
THESE BRAKE HOSE ASSEMBLIES WILL BE REPLACED.
THE IDLE STABILIZER MAY EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE WEAR, CAUSING ENGINE IDLE FLUCTUATIONS, USUALLY DESCRIBED AS ENGINE SURGE, WHICH INCREASE WITH USAGE OF THE CAR.
Consequence
ENGINE SURGE COULD ULTIMATELY SEE-SAW TO THE EXTEND THATLOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL COULD BE EXPERIENCED IF THE BRAKES WERE NOT APPLIED INTIME. THERE IS A RISK OF A COLLISION AND INJURY IN A CONFINED SPA
Remedy
REPLACE IDLE STABILIZATION VALVE.
SUDDEN ACCELERATION FROM A STATIONARY POSITION MAY OCCUR, WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE.
Consequence
UNEXPECTED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITHOUT PRIOR WARNINGCOULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH, CAUSING INJURIES.
Remedy
INSTALL AN AUTOMATIC SHIFT LOCK TO PREVENT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER FROM BEING MOVED FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE UNLESS BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED AT THE SAME TIME.
MISADJUSTMENT OF FUEL DISTRIBUTOR ALLOWS FUEL TO ESCAPE AND BE ABSORBED BY THE AIR FILTER. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: WITH TH
Remedy
INSTALLATION OF AN AIR FILTER MODIFICATION KIT TO PRECLUDE FUEL LEAKS.
MALFUNCTIONS OF INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF IDLE CONTROL UNIT COULD CAUSE IDLE STABILIZER VALVE TO BECOME ACTIVATED OUTSIDE ITS NORMAL OPERATING RANGE.
Consequence
IDLE RPM MAY BECOME ERRATIC AND, IN SOMEINSTANCES,INCREASE.
Remedy
INSTALL LATEST SPECIFICATION IDLE CONTROL UNIT.
REPEATED TOPPING OFF OF FUEL TANK DURING REFUELING REDUCES THE EXPANSION SPACE WITHIN THE TANK ALLOWING VAPORS TO ESCAPE FROM THE CHARCOAL FILTER TO OUTSIDE RATHER THAN BEING INDUCTED INTO THE ENGINE.
Consequence
ESCAPING VAPORS COULD IGNITE BY HEAT EMITTED BY THEEXHAUST SYSTEM.
Remedy
INSTALL REDESIGNED FILLER NECK AND A NEW VENT VALVE AND HOSE FOR CHARCOAL FILTER. ALSO, STOP REFUELING WHEN PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF.
FUEL INJECTION SEALS MAY HARDEN, DUE TO HIGH TEMPERATURE AND ALCOHOL IN SOME FUELS, AND ALLOW FUEL TO ESCAPE INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
Consequence
FUEL DRIPPING ONTO HOT ENGINE COMPONENTS COULD CAUSE ANENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE.
Remedy
REPLACE ENGINES FUEL INJECTOR SEALS WITH IMPROVED SEALS PLUS IMPROVEMENTS DESIGNED TO BETTER INSULATE THE ENGINE AGAINST FIRE RISK.
