1995 Oldsmobile Achieva electrical problems

Filed Mar 24, 2015 · Electrical · 150,000 miles · WA

I purchased this vehicle from a private party approximately 4-5 years ago, unbeknownst of the 2000 recall for ignition issues with the ignition switch. Since I have owned this vehicle I have replaced the ignition switch 3 occasions most currently today 3/24/2015. I presume there is a statute of limitations on this issue. I am curious do I still have any re-course in getting this issue resolved or must I out of pocket resolve this issue as I cannot continue to replace these ignition switches.

Stupid passlock issue . Everybody knows about it but no fix from gm. Worthless car that will not start one time out of every 10. You never know when it will happen. Car must be sold or gotten rid of to fix cause there is no fix. Engineers should be sent to iraq.

Tl*the contact owns a 1995 oldsmobile achieva. The contact was experiencing difficulty starting the vehicle. She would have to depress the accelerator pedal occasionally in order for it to start. While driving 35 MPH, she smelled something burning and noticed smoke coming from under the hood. The smell and smoke occurred at random. The vehicle also stalled and completely shut down at least three times. Initially, when the contact would attempt to restart the vehicle, it would immediately restart. After a short time, it would take longer to restart. There were no warning lights before the stalling occurred. The dealer stated that her VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number 00v287000 (electrical system:starter assembly). The purchase date and powertrain were unknown. The current mileage was approximately 70,000 and failure mileage was approximately 69,900.

Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 65 MPH, the steering wheel was adjusted for better vision. This caused the dashboard lights, the brake lights, and headlights to become inoperative. The vehicle has not been seen by a mechanic for this.
