Was driving approximately 45mph and alternator went out, causing vehicle to shutdown completely. Only warning was headlights went out prior to anything happening. Received a jump start & able to shift into gear. Once jumper cables removed vehicle died.*ak cosumer states once vehicle shut down there was no way to push vehicle off the road, due to no emergency side, also when the engine shuts down, the key can not be removed and the shifter will not shift out of gear.
1998 Oldsmobile Achieva electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 12 of 12, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
