| Transmission slips after vehicle has warmed up. after driving the vehicle for approximately 45 min. or so, if one stops the vehicle shift to park then shift to drive again the vehicle would not move right away. one can hear the engine accelerate, then the vehicle would move slowly until the transmission finally engages, sometimes in a abruptly manner. this problem has been occurring in my vehicle since the day i got it. i complained to the dealership about it and they said there was nothing wrong with it. i contacted the vehicle manufacturing company (gmc) they suggested to bring the vehicle to a different dealership, which i did and they told me they could not find anything wrong either. on the other hand, the vehicle continues to show the same problem. ii have contacted other owners of the same model and type of vehicles and they have said that they have experienced the same exact problem(s), in other case the transmission has simply gone bad. *jb | |||

| I submitted my complaint to gm and to the attorney general of michigan. my complaint stems from problems i have encountered over the last 3-4 years with my 1998 oldsmobile cutlass related to rust on and around the gas filler pipe and door. i have a continuous warning light (check engine) on my dashboard that according to the owner's manual may impact the emission controls in my engine. this warning light appears to be due to the poor fit of the gas cap on the filler pipe due to rust. cap replacement has not helped. there is also a significant amount of rust that has developed surrounding the gas filler pipe door on the right rear body panel. i spoke with a body shop and they mentioned they had seen several vehicles of this type with similar damage and was due to the insulation collecting moisture under the body panel and rusting through from the back side. i have personally seen two other same make/model vehicles with the same exact issues. gm responded to my complaint stating the rust-through protection on my vehicle had expired and there are no currently no recalls issued. my contention is this issue is not isolated to my vehicle regardless of mileage and age and presents not only unsightly damage and cost to repair, but a safety issue surrounding the gas filler pipe. *nm | |||

| This was second blowout of the firestone tires. one at driver side rear, this one at passenger side front. sidewall torn away from tread . firestone refuses to acknowledge a problem. 2 blowouts on this car seem excessive for the use it has had.
