RECALL 00V057000/REAR SHOULDER BELTS: REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SHOULDER BELT WILL NOT RETRACT. DEALER / MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

MY FRONT PASS DOOR LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE OPENNED UNTIL THE SERVICE DEPT TOOK THE INSIDE DOOR PANEL OFF. I ASKED THEM WHAT WOULD I DO IN AN ACCIDENT ? I PAID TO REPLACE PART THAT FAILED. CALLED OLDS EDGE HOT LINE AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CONCERNED. AFTER MORE THOUGHT, I PAID TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE REPLACED. THAT HAPPENED IN 1997 BUT SINCE I'M AWAY FROM HOME, I DON'T HAVE TRUE MILEAGE AND DATES OF OCCURRENCES. I FEEL THIS IS AS SERIOUS FAILURES AS THE BACK SEAT BELTS NOT WORKING NHTSA 00V057000. IMAGINE YOURSELF IN A CAR IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOOR LOCKS. FORTUNATELY, NOW I KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO ME. IT'S SCARY THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENS. EVEN THE MECHANICS AT OLDS WERE PUZZLED BY IT. LAST MONTH, MY DRIVER DOOR STARTED LOCKING, AND IT LOCKED AGAIN YESTERDAY. SINCE I'M AWAY FROM HOME, I HAVEN'T GOT IT REPAIRED AGAIN. BELIEVE ME THIS IS VERY SERIOUS SINCE THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS AND MY DRIVING IS ALMOST 100% EXPRESSWAY DRIVING. *AK

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 3500.00. AFTER DEALERSHIP REMOVED HEAD GASKETS (THIS WAS 8 HOURS OF LABOR AND 1200.00 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 8000.00 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.*AK

PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK
