1980 Oldsmobile Omega 6 cdyl review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes failed early on.
Radiator replaced twice before 30000 miles.
Alternator belt replaced every 5000 miles.
Doors rusted off hinges within 3 years.
Sunroof leaked.
Transmission failed shortly beyond warranty.
Paint flaking off upper trunk and hood.
Car would sometimes just stop and become difficult or impossible to start resulting in towing.
Air conditioner failed to work in third year.
General comments?
This was the car that finally turned me off GM after purchasing 4 new GM products previously.
