During a heavy downpour the rain enters the passenger cabin through driver's side door.
I bought my car with 14 miles on it. In the first year, I had to have the molding on the doors replaced because they leaked. The drivers side window fell into the door. I've been told that it is my regulator that needs to be replaced. I also found a broken clip just sitting inside my door. You can't buy just a regulator or clips so I will need to buy those parts plus the motor which will cost at least $280. My rotors also needed to be shaved down because they were warped and my brakes needed to be replaced and now, only 5 months later, they need to be totally replaced because they are warped again and my brakes will have to be replaced as well. This is the worst car I've ever owned! My first and last experience I will ever have with gm!! I realize things happen to cars, but I would expect oldsmobile to acknowledge these re-occurring problems and be held accountable to fix them.
Consumer states clunking noise coming from the front end when car is driven over any surface that is not totally smooth, this happens constantly.
When it rains, there appears a puddle of water on each side of the floor in the back seat. The dealer could not find any leaks, but it still leaks.
Consumer complains that brakes are bad, dealership made repairs.
Engine failed and was replaced twice.
Interior door trim on all four doors has lifted and detached away from the door this has happened tree times on all doors.
The interior trim pieces and door panels were replaced due to warping.
The car has had five complaints issued to the dealer in the past 11 months, regarding driver's side door lock, automatic trunk latch, power failures. The dealer has been very good about attempting repairs, finding in the last two complaints that water is leaking into the fuse panel. The previous complaint resulted in a new fuse box, and computer. The last complaint resulted in another new fuse box. While I do like the car, and my dealer, I am losing faith quickly in the car itself. I am uncomfortable going long distance with it due to its apparent regular power failures. It is a nuisance to have it towed and to be without it for days at a time. I am also concerned about shorts and fires since the electrical system is involved. I am not sure what the next step is, but the car is not reliable to me.
When vehicle sits in heavy rain rear floor floods. Dealer has been contacted. Please provide further information.
