Achieva

  • Automatic transmission
  • 95,000 miles
I have had several problems with my Oldsmobile Achieva since buying it in February of 2001. The water pump went out 6 months after I got it. The serpentine belt has been replaced twice in less than a year. I have replaced the oil sending unit. I have replaced bushing on both front end lower arm controls. The coolant has started to leak. I just had a part that holds the bearings in the wheel replaced and now I am having the transmission replaced.

When driving vehicle at various speeds vehicle would stop accelerating & would shut down. Sometimes either check engine light comes on or battery light comes on. Have taken to dealer at least 6 times for non accelerating & the panel lights.
