Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving down the road and all of a sudden the radio stopped working. I thought that a fuse had blown (which it did) so I replaced it. About 20 miles down the road it did it again. When I stopped at my destination I realized that the fuse that was continually blowing controlled my radio, the actuator module of the power sliding door, the navigation system and the remote control for locking and unlocking my doors. I managed to narrow it down to the actuator module that was causing the problem. I locked my motor for the door and haven't had a problem with it since. …”
NHTSA complaint #10192512, filed 2007-06, 90,000 miles“Dt: contact states the sliding door beeped constantly. She had this problem since 2002-02. She had to cut it off at the panel above the driver's side door, and left it off because she could not use it. She made 2 attempts to get it fixed and both attempts failed. The second time, it cost her $500.00.”
NHTSA complaint #10129723, filed 2005-08, 60,000 miles“Power sliding door latch actuator failure. Latch is stuck in open position, will not latch. Exact same problem as described in previous recalls NHTSA campaign id number: 01v067000 and NHTSA campaign id number: 01v264000. Oldsmobile states vehicle has been repaired under the recall already in 2002. I purchased used with low miles (around 70k) in 2009. Vehicle has been meticulously maintained and is in close to showroom condition as you could find for a 2000. Oldsmobile states there are not enough complaints about the repair to consider any ongoing recalls. …”
