1995 Oldsmobile Achieva review from North America
"Loved it! Great Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Overheated and broke down.
Had to replace the alternator.
The floor of the passenger seats floods.
Have to replace these small screws under the engine.
Had to fix the motor of the driver side window.
General comments?
I loved this car. I didn't spend any money on it the first year I had it. I put that car through hell and back and it held on for as long as it could. Problems began about the second year I had it. The window motor needed replaced. I got in an accident and it needed a lot of work. It didn't run the same over. The last year I had it, it overheated and I barely got it to the auto body shop before it completely died. They couldn't figure out the problem and finally replaced the alternator and some other stuff. About a week later it broke down again and hasn't worked since. These little screws under the engine have to be replaced, but its going to cost about $1500 to fix and I only paid $3000 for the car when I got it, so I just bought a new one. I haven't gotten rid of my Achieva because it was a great car and it might still be working like it did if I had treated it better. TAKE CARE OF YOUR CAR.
