Power Train Problems of Oldsmobile Silhouette

I was backing out of my place at worship when a friend told me I had no backup lights. I went straight to the auto supply store. Replacing the bulbs did not work. They told me it had to do with the transmission. I went elsewhere. Same story. Went to the he transmission store. They said my transmission was going out and it would cost me $1897. 00 to fix it. Two little bulbs. That was a year ago and I'm still driving it. I try to back into spaces so I don't have to back out. I went to the dealer and they said to replace the wiring assembly would cost more than the car is worth. And the seat belt clicks in but sometimes slips out if I stop quickly if someone cuts me off. Not good at all. The power train is erratic at best. I wonder if I'm going to make it home quite a lot and I am disabled. It shudders when it starts out, making it dangerous in tight driving situations(chicago). It slides or slips. I've been told time and time there's nothing wrong. But when you tell a car to go, it should go. . . Its not supposed to act like a stubborn dumb mule! and the doors quit working as did the ac and it eats tires even though its aligned and balanced. I fixed the shower with 25 year silicone. I didn't need my hair washed while I drove. Its only 15 years old and has been taken care of and its a piece of junk. A very expensive piece of junk. Coolant low always stays on and it isn't. Gas gauge is always empty when you fill it and full if its empty. I tell how much gas I have by how many miles I've gone divided into how many gals of gas I purchased. Keep the books or walk!!!!! garbage. Car!!!!!!!!!.

In September of 2002, the van would not go forward or backward, the van was taken to dealer and they stated that they could not find anything. On December 5th, the van totally quit going forward and backward, it was towed in and the mechanic asked if we had towed anything with the van or did we use it as a "hotrod", that all the gears were stripped. Also, upon taking the van back for the recall of the sliding door, we had to take it back twice and the door still does not operate properly. There are times that it won\\'t unlock from the inside and you can open it from the outside. We have been disappointed in the service of dealer in the different times that the van was taken in to get checked out, that is why we chose not to take it to the dealer when the transmission torn up.
