Abs light has been coming on intermittently, braking distance is normal. Vehicle taken to dealer 15-20 times. Replaced brake pads/ alternator/ battery/ wiring harness, and put in sensor. Did not remedy problem, vehicle at dealer at this time. Serpentine and tensioner belt broken. Security light blinks due to bad theft lock sensor assembly . Blower speeds inoperative. A/c control inoperative. Left front seat belt buckle falls to floor. Power window inoperable due to electrical switch failure.
Extreme pulsation when braking - steering wheel and brake pedal are difficult to control. The dealer has tried replacing the brake pads, turning the rotors, and replacing the rotors and nothing has worked. After each of the 5 times we have this car serviced, the pulsation returns after 3,000 to 4,000 miles. We are entering arbitration proceedings with Oldsmobile to demand a buy-back.
Rear brake pads failed and resurfaced all four rotors.

Rotors are of poor quality and too small for vehicle. They heat up and eventually prematurely warp, causing steering wheel to vibrate upon braking. After the front brake pads were worn out and were replaced, the vehicle started to vibrate severely and the steering wheel started shaking. The rotor also warped.
