POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE PURCHSED A 1995 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A DEAL, THE CAR WAS VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND I GAVE A FAIRLY GOOD PRICE FOR IT. AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF DRIVING THIS VECHICLE I HAVE MAINTAINED IT NEW TIRES, OIL CHANGES, KEEPING IT IN THE VERY BEST CONDITION INSIDE AND OUT,NEW ROTORS, BRAKES, WINDSHIELD WIPERS,ETC. IT ALL STARTING WHEN I WOULD SLOW DOWN OR GO THE SPEED OF 15 MPH A VIBRATING STARTED LIKE IT WAS THE TIRES,SO I REPLACED THE TIRES AND ROTORS AND IT STILL DONE IT THEN NOW IT IS SLIPPING AT TAKE OUT SPEED TO 15 MPH IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND ALMOST QUITS PULLING UNTIL IT KICKS INTO LIKE 3RD GEAR THEN AFTER THAT IT SHIFTS OUT PERFECT BUT WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A VERY LOUD ROARING SOUND LIKE COMING FROM THE BACK. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
A SECOND TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AT 56,000 MILES. THERE WAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ISSUED IN FEB. 1997, # 67-71-64. OLDSMOBILE DID NOT MAKE ANYONE AWARE OF PROBLEM. WILL NOT FIX PROBLEM BECAUSE OVER WARRANTY PERIOD, THOUGH THEY KNEW OF PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION EXISTED. A TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST WELL OVER 150,000 MILES AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED EVERY 52,000 TO 56,000 MILES. THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO NOTIFY ALL OWNERS OF THIS PROBLEM SO IT CAN BE FIXED BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRES. THEY SHOULD ALSO BE REQUIRED TO FIX ANY TRANSMISSION THAT HAS FAILED, BEACUSE OF THERE SELF DIAGNOSED PROBLEMS. *AK

SUSPENSION:REAR:SHOCK ABSORBER
RIGHT REAR STRUT PIERCED RIGHT THREW THE ROCKER PANEL, HITTING THE TRUNK AS I DRIVE, THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR AND ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK TODAY 06/08/00 THE LEFT REAR SIDE WENT THREW. I SAY THIS IS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. SOMETHING LIKE THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN. I'T ALSO HAPPPENEND TO A GUY AT WORK, SAME CAR SAME YEAR, BUT HIS HAPPENED ONLY 2 WEEKS APART. THIS MUST BE A SOFT SPOT IN THE METAL WHERE IT DOESN'T HOLD THE STRUT DOWN GOOD ENOUGH. I CAN GIVE YOU THE GUYS NAME AND HE CAN TELL YOU. HE WARNED ME ABOUT THE OTHER SIDE GOING BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN OFF THE WALL THING. THIS IS A PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER 200 DOLLARS TO GET THAT ONE FIXED. PLEASE SEE TO THIS. *AK
