Engine light comes on...RPM's randomly go up and down causing vehicle to surge and/or stall. This is extremely dangerous. Also, when shifting from park to reverse, the transmission engaged roughly and now will car will not shift into 3rd gear to acceletrate beyond 40 M.P.H. took car in for service twice while under warranty complaining about jerk in transmission, the transmission was replaced the first, now 37,000 miles later out of warranty and complete failure. Company advertisers car will not need tuneup until 100,000 miles, I have had the car for only 60K miles and have had to have it tuned up twice at $600+ a pop. At that point car was stalling not delivering the power that it usually does.

While driving at any speed the vehicle would back fire and misfire. The vehicle has been to the dealer twice for this problem. On one occasion the dealer replaced the fuel pump and fuel regulator, but the vehicle still didn't run properly. The manufacturer is aware of the problem.

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. After dealership removed head gaskets (this was 8 hours of labor and $1200 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 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.

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.
