What 1992 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Passenger's brake line bracket I broke. The dealer doesn't carry the parts anymore. The consumer posed a question: since it was a safety item, was the government responsible to force the manufacturer to supply consumer with parts?
According to the dealer which diagnosed the problem, this type of failure is not commonly seen.
During a panic stop, passenger's side, rear seat belts failed, and the passenger was thrust into the back of the front seat,. Further inspection revealed the retractor casing had fallen apart. Oldsmobile advised me seat belt maintenance was my responsibilty. I have since learned of tsb 91c09 and 91c09a, dated 11/92 concerning this vehicle ( I have no specifics). Inspection of the other belts show they are failing as well. The owners manual has no instructions on maintenance/inspection schedules, or user-serviceable parts either.
Seat belt straps catch in seat back hinge, damaging seat belts. Qcaw
Recall repair work completed on the ABS brake pressure modulator valve, however brake pedal went to the floor after repair.
Passenger's side motor seat wire overheated, resulting in a fire/injuries. Also vehicle suffered extensive damage.
While driving, a short curcuit caused power seats and locks to fail. Two days later, at night, the center and 1/3 of the front passenger seat caught fire - completely destroying the interior.
Little tiny spring (looks like clock spring) causes driver's front and front/rear seat/passenger retractable housing to become inoperative.
Consumer was driving in wet and icy weather conditions and upon applying force to the brake pedal, the pedal went to the floor due to leaking brake fluid in hydraulic module.
