About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Complaint received via E-mail. Vehicle was purchased in winter months. When I drove it off lot right headlight blew. I phoned dealer- saleswoman told me take it to their mechanic for repairs. He replaced it several times, each time it blew. He said it was wet weather. I wondered, but trusted them. 1 electrical problem after another. I have spent $500 to have the same problems repaired repeatedly. Last July, I took it to the local dealer and paid $122 for repairs. It lasted less than 1 month. Lights began blowing out, and failed. Blinkers operated erratically, sometimes right ones worked(front & back), sometimes they didn't. backup lights came on when brake were pressed. Messages from computer message center said door was ajar rolling down I95 at 65 mph or that the liftgate was ajar at 65 mph - ats malfunctioned and was turned off. The repairing dealership said everything was okay. Wires burned through for some reason". mechanic said everything works okay. Onboard computer messed up. I contacted Oldsmobile website, and was told each time it was my responsibility since van was older. A police report was issued to the consumers daughter for driving without lights/defective lights.

While drivng, vehicle would all of a sudden loose power and then cut off, the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem, however the dealer did state that there might be trash in the gas tank because trash was noted on the fuel filter, vehicle has experienced this failure on seven occasions, possible electrical problems.
