1998 OLDSMOBILE ACHIEVA Complaints

WHILE TRAVELING AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE UP TO 70 MPH, MAKING IT HARD TO STOP VEHICLE. TOOK TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID MAYBE THE MAT WAS GETTING STUCK BETWEEN PEDAL. 2ND TIME THEY SAID IT WAS THE COMPUTER, AND THIRD TIME THEY SAID SOLENOID WAS BAD. THEN THEY SAID ABS HAD A SHORT IN IT. DEALER STILL HAS NOT FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHILE APPLYING BRAKES AT A STOP POSITION. VEHICLE BEEN IN/OUT OF DEALER SHOP ON THREE OCCASIONS. DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT PROBLEM COULD NOT BE RESOLVED UNTIL THEY COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

WHILE DRIVING PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. NO ONE WAS INJURED BECAUSE CONSUMER WAS ALONE IN THE VEHICLE.ALSO, WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED .*AK

FRONT BRAKE DISCS WERE APPARENTLY OF INFERIOR QUALITY. DEALER TOLD ME THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 32,632 MILES. THE VEHICLE THROBS WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. ONLY REMEDIES OFFERED WERE AT MY EXPENSE. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT THIS. *AK

TRUNK LIGHT FAILED TO TURN OFF WHEN THE TRUNK WAS CLOSED CAUSING THE LAMP TO BURN HOLES THROUGH THE CONSUMER CLOTHS. NLM

THE CHECK ENGINE AND LOW COOLANT LIGHTS APPEAR OFTEN AND THE ENGINE IDLES AT AN ABNORMAL SETTING. WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO RUN WARMER THAN IT SHOULD AND CAUSING THE BRAKE PADS TO BE REPLACED LONG BEFORE THEY SHOULD BE. AS FOR THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT, THERE IS NOT A NEED TO ADD COOLANT BECAUSE ITS JUST A LITTLE LESS THAN FULL. AND AS FOR THE HIGH IDLE, THE CAR HAS ACCELERATED AT TIMES BY ITS SELF TO 45 MPH.

WHEN DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HIT A UTILITY POLE ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SIDE, THERE WAS NO DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAGS. THE VEHICLE IS BEING REPAIRED. *AK
