1994 Oldsmobile Achieva review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the battery twice (not covered under warranty).
I have replaced an alternator, door lock panels (both passenger & driver side).
I have replaced brake pads twice and rotors once.
General comments?
I have complained to Oldsmobile twice regarding the quality of the brake system on this car.
They told me to only expect 8,000-10,000 miles to one set of brake pads. I had a Pontiac Grand Am and put brake pads on that car twice. That car had 120,000 miles on it. This Achieva has 47,000 miles on it.
GM/Oldsmobile fix the brake problems on this car. Each brake shop costs $125.00 at the dealership.
