What 2003 Oldsmobile Oldsmobile owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Drivers side power window stopped working.
On october 1, 2004 I retrieved my 1 year old daughter from her car seat. I was holding her and pushed the inside door button to close the passenger side door. Standing outside of the vehicle I then leaned in the front seat to retrieve a bag. She must have reached back while still in my arms and the automatic sliding door closed, latched and locked breaking her arm. I had to use the key remote to open the door. I have filed this complaint before and left numerous messages with a [xxx] the person to whom to direct questions to as stated in the acknowledgement letter. I have not yet received a phone call back nor have I received any other letters. Since then general motors has issued a recall regarding the sliding doors. I have made many phone calls asking only to receive a new vehicle. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle knowing my 3 young children could potentially get hurt again. I can not in good faith sell this vehicle knowing another young person could get hurt. Please, acknowledge this e-mail. Thank you, [xxx]. *nm information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
