I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON JUNE 13,2001 AND HAVE CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE AND ACCELERATION OF THE CAR. WHEN YOU ACCELERATE TO CHANGE LANES THE RPMS RESPOND, BUT THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE IT IS AS IF THE LINK BETWEEN THE TWO COMPONENT IS MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 4MONTHS AND IT HAS BEEN 17 DAYS IN THE REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE CONCERN THAT WITH THE CAR INSTANTLY DYING THAT I COULD BE THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT, AND RESULT IN INJURY TO MY FAMILY, OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY OR MYSELF. OLDSMOBILE NEEDS TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM AND IDENTIFY A SOLUTION BEFORE THERE IS SERIOUS INJURY FROM THIS POWER TRAIN FAILURE.*AK

SUV T-BONED IN DRIVER DOOR AT ESTIMATED 40MPH. SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH SEAT WAS RIPPED FROM ITS MOORING. ON STAR SYSTEM DID NOT ACTIVATE TO SIGNAL 911. IN ADDITION THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE OPPOSITE THE ACCIDENT ROLLED OFF OF THE RIM. IS THIS NORMAL? ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASING THE SUV THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKS WHILE STOPPING AND WILL NOT RELEASE. MUST UNBUCKLE AND RETRACT BEFORE IT CAN BE EXTENDED.*AK

MY VEHICLE IS THE SECOND AT THIS DEALER TO HAVE THIS CONDITION. DRIVING THE VEHICLE LIKE THIS WILL CAUSE MAJOR ENGINE COMPONENT FAILURE, PER THE SERVICE MANAGER. THEY HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE CAM PHASER AND ON A SECOND VISIT, THE CRANK SHAFT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME GM HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM ON THEIR HANDS WITH THIS CONDITION, AND THEY HAVE RUN OUT OF IDEAS ON HOW TO REPAIR IT. I AM TRYING TO GET THE DEALER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK AND REFUND MY MONEY. I DO NOT WANT TO BE GM'S TESTING GROUND. A WARNING NEEDS TO BE POSTED SO OTHER CONSUMERS DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID.*AK
