1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass Reviews

Head gasket was fixed right before I had it.

Fixed the front end suspension, alternator, and that is it!

Great car.

1 & 2 don't work on the A/C or heat.

I have speckled white spots where the windshield meets the dash.

Replaced alternator 2x.

Replaced transmission.

Replaced tires many times.

Replaced thermostat.

Replaced the brakes an absurd number of times (annually).

ANTI THEFT system is horrible, just started & has happened 3x within the last month (how do I stop this?)

Windows get slow and then they are fine.

The key-less entry works, but when you click the lock, the horn sound fades and strengthens without cause.

The paint on the trunk has faded horribly.

The steering wheel is peeling.

Other than that, everything is great! (Ha)

This car is cute but worrisome.

So far, the only that goes wrong is when the fuel tank gets on a quarter of a tank, the gauge goes to empty. If I shut the car off and start it up again, it will be fine for awhile.

Driver's side leather worn. I put on seat covers. It really helps the comfort.

I love this car. It has more miles than my previous 1998 Chevrolet Lumina, and is built better and the A/C works.

My parents gave me this car because they didn't want it anymore, so I'm not guilty of buying this boat anchor.

Apparently now the glove box also leaks because I went out to grab the owners manual to check on something and everything was wet. It hadn't even rained, it snowed.

As with a lot of other Cutlass's, the brake rotors cracked, and it goes through pads like crazy.

The trunk leaks, our primitive but utterly dependable 97 Tracker gets much better gas mileage, the fan doesn't work on the first two settings, and it leaks coolant. Which brings up another point: There is no radiator cap nor a transmission dipstick.

I am actually ashamed as a resident of Michigan that the people in Detroit would can't do better than this. Don't sell something unless you can be proud of it, or didn't your Mommas teach you that?

It's a very comfortable car to drive, with good performance and handling.

The interior is very well done. The body work is solid and there is very little rust.

It gets dismal gas mileage, but I can't blame GM as the big three don't really seem to care about building really efficient cars.

The engineering details, such as keeping things from leaking in and out of the car, escaped the designers.

The brake components were poorly thought out and thrown on.

The fan switch does not work on 1 and 2 setting, only 3 or higher.

The horn began to malfunction shortly after I bought it. Sometime I would have to slam my hand on the horn button for it to work. Then one day I was in my bedroom with the car sitting in the driveway when the horn went off. I had to take the fuse out to turn it off. I've since replaced it with another horn button mounted on the dash above the cupholder.

The rear brakes collect dust quickly and make noise. After cleaning with brake dust remover, the problem subsides.

The driver's window will malfunction every now and then.

Since replacing the regular engine oil with Royal Purple motor oil, the car runs smoother and burns less fuel.

The seats could use a bit more cushioning.

This car is a descent grocery getter or work car if you can put up with the mechanical annoyances.

My head gasket blew, along with all the other things that is going wrong now.

This car is the worst car I have ever purchase. All of my repairs have been over $200. Head gasket went out, water pump twice, water going into the input, nothing goes right with this car.
