Windshield wiper/washer-do not function properly unless wiper switch is turned to 'high' and then down to the interval i need. i had to pull off the highway at 70mph when i turned the washers on and the wipers did not come on. oldsmobile has refused to correct. air conditioning-knob fell off in my hand this afternoon. i cannot select the defrost mode and it is cold and raining. abs modulator valve was replaced by oldsmobile (i thought nhtsa would like to know). air conditioning-evaporator was replaced at 38798 miles. oldsmobile refused to reimburse because i had the work done at a nearby chevrolet dealer since smoke was pouring out of the vents and into the passenger compartment. alternator died at 39196 miles and oldsmobile refused to reimburse me. | |||
