2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette GL review from North America
"You'll see your mechanic more than your spouse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gas Tank pressure sensor and wiper motor broke at 73,000 km.
Rust perforation on roof and paint chipping off hood at 74,000 km (car repainted).
Air Conditioner gave out at 76,000 km.
Transmission solenoids gave out at 78,000 km.
General comments?
These are just some of the repairs. I had purchased the vehicle used. Before this, the intake manifold gasket was replaced. The list of sensors, electrical faults and broken body pieces are too long to mention. I like the comfort of this vehicle, but the car has been at the dealership almost as much as it has been in my driveway. Warranty repairs are always an argument and often the work is not complete when they would say it was. Very often I would get the car back and something else was not working (forgetting to reconnect the cruise??). The dealer did fix all of the above under warranty. For a car that has this little mileage, it shows GM still has A lot of work to do on the quality of their products.
