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. :(.

The news had the air bag recall and the gm people say we have to wait a min. Of 60 days for the notice. The gm dealer had no knowledge of airbag recall !! also,the fuel gauge has gone bad on several Oldsmobile vans and you do not know how much gas car has that can be dangerous on a highway and a recall was never done on fuel gauges.

Sending unit malfunctioned. As a result, the reading of the gauge was incorrect.
1. No event, just failed. Windows, fuel sensor and a/c. 2 . Front window on 1995 olds Silhouette van, failed and was replaced. Both front windows have now failed. Consequences are we are unable to roll windows up in inclement weather. Window on front passenger side,2002 Silhouette van has failed, will roll down but not up. , for from 1 hour to several hours. . Motor will have to be replaced in all, dealer says. Consequences are we can't roll window up in inclement weather. 2. Fuel sensor has failed, gas gauge does not work, stuck in construction zone when on trip and we showed full tank of gas but then alarm went off and showed empty. 10 miles from station. Very nerve wracking as we would have been stuck. Mechanic put a tester on it, although the alarm went off as he was doing this, the tank had 3/4 full. . It also showed it had two times capacity of fuel in it. Mechanic was puzzled by it also. . Said it was sensor and has to be replaced. The gauge shows full until it is empty then drops to empty and alarm sounds. Gauge goes to empty when it is shut off but then shows full when you start van. 3. Motor was replaced on 1995 van by a dealer, then both windows failed. On 2002 van, we will have to replace window motor on drivers side. Bad part is getting snowed and rained on when window sticks and won't go up. And before we had a/c fixed we couldn't use windows for air. Have to replace fuel sensor on 2002. Ad dealer replace front ac compressor/condenser on 2002 van for front, back is still not working. Dealer says something is in rear of van that has to be fixed as it don't switch from hot to cold, stays on hot. And it is expensive.
