Year-to-Year Changes

1991 Plymouth Laser: Antilock brakes joined the option list this year, and the Laser's turbocharged engine could now be ordered with an automatic transmission instead of manual shift. This year too, the Laser RS came only with the midlevel engine: 2.0-liter rated at 135 horsepower.

1992 Plymouth Laser: Lasers earned some cosmetic changes for 1992, and a new all-wheel-drive (AWD) model joined the lineup. Plymouth's RS Turbo AWD came only with manual shift. Front and rear ends got a fresh look, with exposed aerodynamic headlamps replacing the previous hidden units.

1993 Plymouth Laser: All-wheel-drive Lasers could be ordered with an automatic transmission this year. With automatic, the horsepower rating of turbo models dropped to 180. All Lasers except the base model could be equipped with antilock braking.

1994 Plymouth Laser: For its final season, Laser got only detail changes.

Trouble Spots

Brake noise: The rear disc brakes are prone to squealing or squeaking. A shim kit has been released. (1992-94)

Hard starting: Hard or no starting, and possibly no cooling fan, may be caused by corrosion of a splice in the wiring harness near the left headlight caused by water getting into the wiring. (1990-94)

Vehicle shake: Severe vehicle shake and vibration may require replacement of the engine and transmission mounts. (1990-94)
