What problems does the Opel Frontera have?
Years 1998-2003

Answer

A recurring problem of the Opel Frontera is the difficulty to start from cold; sometimes this problem is also accompanied by smoke coming out of the exhaust, with a notable bad smell of unburned fuel, or it manages to start and "rips" conspicuously while driving, and sometimes goes out while driving, again as a consequence of this problem.
