SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
THE FRONT-PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE PADS ARE WEARING UNEVENLY. THE OUTSIDE BRAKE PAD HAS WORN DOWN TO THE SQUEALER WHILE THE INSIDE BRAKE PAD SHOWS LITTLE WEAR. I HAVE CONTACTED THE OLDSMOBILE REPRESENTATIVE CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND HE HAS OPENED A CASE REPORT. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPEN AT 16000-17000 MILES IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SOLUTION AT THAT TIME WAS TO REBUILD THE CALIPER, REPLACE THE PADS AND TURN THE ROTORS. WHILE TALKING TO THE DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS CURRENTLY AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT IS AFFECTING OTHER MODELS AS WELL, WHICH HAS GM ENGINEERS SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PRESENT MILEAGE 45,600 FIRST REPORTED ATTEMT TO FIX 24,200 MILES. DISTRICT MANAGER OLDSMOBILE SAYS THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. HE OWNED ONE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IAM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE DISTRACTION THIS HESITATION CAUSES WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE DISTRICT MGR. WILL BE A FARNSWORTH NEXT WEEK. I FEEL OLDSMOBILE DOES NOT WANT TO ABSORB THE COST INVOLVED IN SUCH A REPAIR AND HOPE THAT I WILL TRADE THE CAR. IAM AT LEAST 2 YEARS FROM TRADING. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE? IT FEELS LIKE A TORQUE CONVERTER CONTINUOUSLY ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING, SOMETIMES EVERY FIFTEEN SECONDS. *AK
