Three problems related to power train have been reported for the 1997 Oldsmobile Achieva. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have had several problems with my Oldsmobile Achieva since buying it in February of 2001. The water pump went out 6 months after I got it. The serpentine belt has been replaced twice in less than a year. I have replaced the oil sending unit. I have replaced bushing on both front end lower arm controls. The coolant has started to leak. I just had a part that holds the bearings in the wheel replaced and now I am having the transmission replaced.
While driving down highway dash lights started to flicker on and off, and speedometer stopped. Consumer stated that panel lights were just out of control.
The vehicle stalled because the oil pressure exceeded its normal range, the dealer replaced the 02 sensor and cleaned the fuel tank, also the transmission experienced a hard shift.
