Known issues on the 1995 Cabriolet. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the ignition switch: improperly manufactured contacts can make electrical accessories such as turn signals, wipers, lamps, power windows and the air conditioner malfunction when the car is started. The second covers the fuel injection system on V6-equipped cars: a failing internal injector seal can let fuel leak into the engine compartment, and leakage near an ignition source can start a fire. The third covers the driver's frontal air bag: static electricity discharged in low-humidity conditions while entering or exiting the car can complete a circuit through the steering wheel and trigger the air bag unexpectedly, risking injury. Owners have filed 3 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From tracing an ignition switch fault to inspecting the fuel injector seals or the air bag circuit, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 1995 Cabriolet.
