The engine. The coolant low light stays on even though it isn't.. Have had it checked. They said its all ok. Then I read these complaints. Why aren't they being held responsible for a defect!!!!! Its their defect, not ours. We didn't sign up for $1200 in repairs or more!!! Are you getting paid to sit there and just put these up here to appease us? No wonder this nation is going you know where in a basket. Lack of integrity. My brakes also both went out completely when someone gave me less than a foot to stop when they pulled out of a parking spot downtown. No accident but completely blew my brake. This also seems to be a common failure point in this so called vehicle. The engine does what it wants when it wants. It moans and shudders when it takes off..kind of like me when I get up in the morning. Could kill me though. Airbag light can't decide if it alive or not. One headlight is frosted.will cost $325.00 to fix it. Who has this money??!!that is half of my months income!!!!!!!!!are you crazy????? And no, there is no public transportation where I live. Seat belts don't work right.danger!!! Body is rusting. Doorlocks lock me out all the time. Window don't work.dangzer!!!! I live where there's lots of water.. Back wiper quit. Back lights quit. Fuel gauge quit..makes me want to quit. :( how can they get away with the major safety items..how????!!!!! Please tell me. I need to know. This heap of junk needs to last me at least 20..yes twenty more years.:(

Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
On my 1999 oldsmobile silloette the headlights (left & right) leak very bad. After driving in the rain I may have a inch of water in the bottom of my headlights. Because of this the heat & moisture have discollered the plastic lenses on the headlights now making it hard to se at night, and the bulb have to be replaced about every month or so. No accidents have been caused by this problem yet!
Both front headlight covers have clouded and become hazy due to sun exposure over time. I am concerned that this problem is causing limited visibility especially at night. In my opinion this problem will cause the headlights to be dimmer than what is considered a safe level of brightness.
Headlights allow moisture in, water collected in the headlamps, one failed, before I could get it fixed the other one failed, causing me to run off the road.
Consumer replaced the bulb inside the headlights 10 times due to moisture getting inside, making it difficult to see the road at night. Vehicle will be taken to dealer for check up.
Consumer experiencing ongoing problem with headlights and interior lights which go out intermittently. Vehicle been in dealer shop on two occasions, and problem still occurs.
