“The contact owns a 1993 Oldsmobile 88. The vehicle was purchased as is from an independent dealer. One week later, while driving 60 MPH in the rain, water flooded into the vehicle. The entire rear floorboard was soaked with water. The dealer stated that nothing could be done. The transmission failed one week after the water damage and was replaced. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and discovered that the fuel pump and filter were rusted. The vehicle was repaired. While driving and attempting to stop the vehicle, the brakes failed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10240200, filed 2008-08, 120,000 miles“The problem is with a sears x-cargo top carrier. Using the sears-manufactured and sears-recommended clasps to attach it to my car (make & model above), the top carrier cracked, broke and pulled off the plastic door molding which secured it to the car. The top carrier was in danger of falling off while the car was in motion. The damage to the car was approximately $260, but the real danger is that the top carrier could break off while the car is in motion.”
