When applying brakes, steering wheel would vibrate. Had taken to dealership, and had the rotors resurfaced or replaced. Problem still present. Consumer states tire had to be replaced at 6000 miles, insufficient sealing caused water to leak in to drivers side rear foot well, both front door opening w/strips and door panel water barriers were replaced and also power window squeaks when going up and down.

This vehicle is equipped a lot of safety features such as side impact protection, all-speed traction control, etc. However a very important item was omitted. They did not install a "door ajar" sensor on the vehicle at all. I sent a request to the Oldsmobile manufacturer, but they never responed to my inquiry. As we have children, on a four door car, we feel that this is a necessity. Please help any way you can. We hope to prevent a potential accident from occuring to us to others.

- Ft. Belvoir, VA, USA
Front rotors warped at 2500 miles but not replaced per the dealer for 5000 more miles. Also, water leaking through both doors (L and R) and has been repaired multiple times. They are now using duct tape to "fix" the leak and they tell me this is legitimate. Water leaks every time it rains.
