Three problems related to automatic transmission have been reported for the 1998 Oldsmobile 88. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While entering my garage at a slow rate of speed and my foot on the brake, the car suddenly surged forward. This has happened 3 or 4 times when coming to a red light or stopped vehicles over the course of the year. I remember the Audi that had the same problem. I really thought I'd end up in my living room. I quickly put the car in neutral on all occasions. It seems like the transmission isn't dropping down to it's low range. Help.
Consumer tried to put vehicle in reverse and nothing happened. The vehicle was then put in drive, still nothing happened. Consumer cut off engine, restarted, and it went into gear. Cause unknown. *akthe faulty parts have been replaced.
Consumer states that the transmission stops operating while driving without any warning. Dealer contacted.
