Check Engine Light On Problems of Oldsmobile Silhouette

After accelerating to passing gear, the check engine light went on . . And the engine sounded like the spark plug failed. The diagnostic check said there was no compression in the #2 cylinder. The mechanic at the dealership said the rocker arm bolt had stripped out. That this type of problem is not covered by warranty. There are 95,000 miles on this vehicle. However, I consider this a manufacturing default . . The bolt should not have stripped out of the engine block. I question whether the other rocker arm bolts will strip . . . Gm denied any responsibility . . Because it didn't show at the 35,000 mile bumper to bumper check.

While proceeding from a stop transmission went out, was unable to move forward. Dealership was aware of warning since engine check light came on before, however found no problem until transmission failed. Transmission had noise and slips while driving, dealer fixed the vehicle but consumer is still experiencing transmission problem.

Transmission failed Dec. 2000. Replaced by dealer. Failed again 1,000 miles later. Repaired by dealer. 8000 miles later engine light came on-dealer said was transmission problem, would not repair -out of warranty. This been a persistent problem, which started on warranty. Contacted Oldsmobile to put me in contact with local factory rep. Told they would not give me the number and that I was out of warranty and on my own.
