1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme SL review from North America
"Great after the known problems are fixed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brake calipers seize.
Transmission needed rebuilt.
Dashboard warped.
Center console fell apart.
Torque converter now locks/unlocks at 54/55 mph.
Center arm rest is cracked.
General comments?
The car has been great except for the above noted problems. The trick to keeping the calipers from seizing is to use the emergency brake everyday. Now that I do that, I have had no problems. The torque converter problem will be an expensive fix--so I'm leaving it go and I just don't drive at 54 or 55 mph!
I'd like to know if anyone has had any major problems with the 3.1L engine and at what mileage. I'd like to keep driving this car, but with 162k miles on it, I'm getting worried about major engine problems. I'm not have any signs of any yet.
