ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY CAR WAS MISSING AND HESITATING, I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE LEAKING OF THE HEAD GASKETS, COST WAS TO BE AROUND 3500.00. AFTER DEALERSHIP REMOVED HEAD GASKETS (THIS WAS 8 HOURS OF LABOR AND 1200.00 SO FAR FOR LABOR) THEY FOUND A HOLE IN THE ENGINE DUE TO CORROSIVE DEFECT. THE COST OF A NEW ENGINE (A NORTHSTAR) WOULD BE 8000.00 PLUS LABOR. THIS NORHTSTAR ENGINE SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER THAN 82,000. THEY ARE ADVERTISED TO GO 100,000 MILES WITHOUT TUNEUPS. I KNEW THAT WAS FAR FETCHED...I HAD MY CAR MAINTENANCED PROPLERLY FOR ALL OF THE MILE CHECKUPS REPORTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH OLDSMOBLILE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RECEIVED A NUMBER C00118601. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS AND JUST WANT IT REPORTED PROPERLY.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I NOW HAVE A PROFUSE OIL LEAK. IT BEGAN AT FAIRLY LOW MILEAGE AND DIAGNOSED AS A DRAIN PLUG PROBLEM - I HAD THAT FIXED. THE NEXT TIME IT LEAKED I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS THE OIL PAN SEAL - I HAD THAT REPLACED. NOW THE LEAK IS EVIDENTLY THE CRANKCASE SEAL, AS DIAGNOSED AGAIN BY THE DEALER - LEAKS PROFUSELY. ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR THIS KIND OF THING - THE REPAIR IS VERY VERY EXPENSIVE.
