I was driving in town when a car pulled out of a parking spot right in front of me giving me two feet to stop at 25 mph. I stopped but my brakes blew. Total failure of two brakes. The engine. According to your complaints I might have a gasket to replace because I have a coolant light on and it doesn't need any. The repairman said I needed a new sensor. Hmmm. Electrical. Fuel gauge is inoperable. Coolant light wrong. Airbag lights can't make up their mind if they work or not. The car locks me out repeatedly. The power windows won't work. . Dangerous here with all the rivers and waterways. The sliding doors don't work. None of the power controls in the key fob work(yes, I checked the battery). Oh. . And it has a indoor shower when it rains. Roof failure, fault in design. Could you please tell me if past service bulletins I just found on your site still pertain? there are many for this vehicle and its issues. Please advise. Thank you.

Left side brake / tail light melts. Bulb base melts then causes an open short. Bulb has been replaced several times. Last 3 to 4 months before failure (melted base) and bulb replacement. It also causes the traction control system (tcs) to show an intermittent fault or be inoperative.

Complaint received via e-mail. Vehicle was purchased in winter months. When I drove it off lot right headlight blew. I phoned dealer- saleswoman told me take it to their mechanic for repairs. He replaced it several times, each time it blew. He said it was wet weather. I wondered, but trusted them. 1 electrical problem after another. I have spent $500 to have the same problems repaired repeatedly. Last July, I took it to the local dealer and paid $122 for repairs. It lasted less than 1 month. Lights began blowing out, and failed. Blinkers operated erratically, sometimes right ones worked(front & back), sometimes they didn't. Backup lights came on when brake were pressed. Messages from computer message center said door was ajar rolling down i95 at 65 mph or that the liftgate was ajar at 65 mph - ats malfunctioned and was turned off. The repairing dealership said everything was okay. Wires burned through for some reason". Mechanic said everything works okay. Onboard computer messed up. I contacted Oldsmobile website, and was told each time it was my responsibility since van was older. A police report was issued to the consumers daughter for driving without lights/defective lights.

While drivng, vehicle would all of a sudden loose power and then cut off, the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem, however the dealer did state that there might be trash in the gas tank because trash was noted on the fuel filter, vehicle has experienced this failure on seven occasions, possible electrical problems.

Within several days of each repair, the compressor just stops working. According to the dealer, the problem is a short in the electrical system which they are unable to locate and repair properly. After three to five hours of waiting each time, all they have done is to replace the blown fuse which promptly blows again within a few days.

Continuous overheating of the controls for the radio/air conditioner/heater/cd player.

Driver's seat belt broke. Also had an electrical short which turned air bag light on. Dealer was contacted, and stated that vehicle was out of warranty and they couldn't do anything about it. Ts. . . .

I have had this vehicle since 3/99. In which time I have had to bring it back for transmission problems, electrical problems, leaking fuel injectors, brakes, non working cruise control which led to the dealer replacing the compressor. Front end leaked anti freeze which led to another major job. I am not a happy motorist here. The steering column squeeked. They greased it. Turned out there was a problem with the rackinpinion. I know something about cars and I know that for the amount I pay for this vehicle, I shouldn't be having these major problems. Bandade fixes don't cut it with me. Nlm.
