One problem related to gas recirculation valve (egr valve) has been reported for the 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The engine. The coolant low light stays on even though it isn't. . Have had it checked. They said its all ok. Then I read these complaints. Why aren't they being held responsible for a defect!!!!! its their defect, not ours. We didn't sign up for $1200 in repairs or more!!! are you getting paid to sit there and just put these up here to appease us? no wonder this nation is going you know where in a basket. Lack of integrity. My brakes also both went out completely when someone gave me less than a foot to stop when they pulled out of a parking spot downtown. No accident but completely blew my brake. This also seems to be a common failure point in this so called vehicle. The engine does what it wants when it wants. It moans and shudders when it takes off. . Kind of like me when I get up in the morning. Could kill me though. Airbag light can't decide if it alive or not. One headlight is frosted. Will cost $325. 00 to fix it. Who has this money??!!that is half of my months income!!!!!!!!!are you crazy????? and no, there is no public transportation where I live. Seat belts don't work right. Danger!!! body is rusting. Doorlocks lock me out all the time. Window don't work. Dangzer!!!! I live where there's lots of water. . Back wiper quit. Back lights quit. Fuel gauge quit. . Makes me want to quit. :( how can they get away with the major safety items. . How????!!!!! please tell me. I need to know. This heap of junk needs to last me at least 20. . Yes twenty more years. :(.
