SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME AND HAS DONE SO SINCE APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS TO 3 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE LOOKED AT AND HAVE BEEN TOLD NOTHING CAN BE FOUND TO BE WRONG. I ALSO CALLED THE OLDSMOBILE NUMBER LISTED IN THE MANUFACTURERS GUIDE, AND THEY SAID SINCE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED NOTHING COULD BE DONE AT THEIR END (AT THE SAME TIME I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT OTHER PROBLEMS). I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT FAILURE OF SUCH A MAJOR PART WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WOULD BE OF NO CONSEQUENCE TO THE MANUFACTURER OR ANY OTHER SAFETY ORGANIZATION. *AK

#741689February 28, 2001
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM
I HAVE FOUND THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD IS LEAKING OIL FROM THIS PARTICULAR MOTOR V6-3100 3.1L MFI VIN M IN MY 1994 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS SUPREME. THE PLACE THAT FIXED MY CAR HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR THREE TIMES BEFORE THEY FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. IT WAS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL, THE OIL WAS COMPLETELY DRY AFTER 1,000 MILES, WHICH RESULTED IN THE BLOW-UP OF MY MOTOR. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT OLDSMOBILE TO FIND OUT IF THEY HAD ANY INFORMATION ON IT, BUT NO ONE COULD HELP ME. THIS IS MY LAST RESORT. THE PLACE THAT FIXED MY CAR ACTUALLY HAS ANOTHER MOTOR IN THE SAME CONDITION THAT THEY RECEIVED ONE WEEK AGO. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO INVESTIGATE AND FIND SOMETHING OUT, IT WILL BE APPRECIATED. THANKS, MISTY. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY REAR BRAKE SYSTEM AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE BRAKES AND I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THIS BEFOR NOR AFTER I BAUGHT THIS CAR. I WANT SOMEONE TO LOOK AT MY BRAKES FREE OF CHARGE, TO INFORM ME IF I HAVE THE PROBLEM THAT THIS CAR WAS RECALLED FOR. I ALSO AM WONDERING ABOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT 65 MPH. AND IT WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AND THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AND WOULDNT STOP . I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HAVE THAT LOOKED AT. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP
