1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme problems

Filed Oct 26, 2005 · Body · OH

I have a 1990 oldsmoble cutlass supreme. A recall #00065 for gm was done on my car and only the front cradle bolts and retainers were done. But upon reviewing the federal safety agency's recall #00v189000 the front and rear should have been done. Since the refusal from gm the rear bolts have come down and my engine is leaning back. I have talked to the dealer twice and the manufacture gm 3 times and they both say that they only have to do the front cradle bolts for their recall and not the rear. I also have my original receipt that says only 2 bolts and retainers were bought and installed.

The digital dashboard component doesn't work 99% of the time. I never know the speed I am going, or if check engine light or anything comes on. When the dash does come on if you hit the slightest bump it goes back off. I feel this is unsafe. As I researched this site for similar problems with the same car I find that my complaint is the 5th one for the same exact problem. I have bought and replaced the component thinking it would fix the problem, but it didn't. It is with the wiring itself. A defect in the wring from the manufaturer, again it's not the components. I would like a recall to be issued for this problem. I still have the old dash component so if they need to be tested.
