I HAVE A 1990 OLDSMOBLE CUTLASS SUPREME. A RECALL #00065 FOR GM WAS DONE ON MY CAR AND ONLY THE FRONT CRADLE BOLTS AND RETAINERS WERE DONE. BUT UPON REVIEWING NHTSA'S RECALL #00V189000 THE FRONT AND REAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE. SINCE THE REFUSAL FROM GM THE REAR BOLTS HAVE COME DOWN AND MY ENGINE IS LEANING BACK. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THE MANUFACTURE GM 3 TIMES AND THEY BOTH SAY THAT THEY ONLY HAVE TO DO THE FRONT CRADLE BOLTS FOR THEIR RECALL AND NOT THE REAR. I ALSO HAVE MY ORIGINAL RECEIPT THAT SAYS ONLY 2 BOLTS AND RETAINERS WERE BOUGHT AND INSTALLED. *NM

CONSUMER NOTICED THAT FIRE WAS COMING FROM THE SIDE OF THE TRUNK. FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ANTENNA WIRES CAUSED THE FIRE.*AK

THE DIGITAL DASHBOARD COMPONENT DOESN'T WORK 99% OF THE TIME. I NEVER KNOW THE SPEED I AM GOING, OR IF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING COMES ON. WHEN THE DASH DOES COME ON IF YOU HIT THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IT GOES BACK OFF. I FEEL THIS IS UNSAFE. AS I RESEARCHED THIS SITE FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME CAR I FIND THAT MY COMPLAINT IS THE 5TH ONE FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I HAVE BOUGHT AND REPLACED THE COMPONENT THINKING IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT IT DIDN'T. IT IS WITH THE WIRING ITSELF. A DEFECT IN THE WRING FROM THE MANUFATURER, AGAIN IT'S NOT THE COMPONENTS. I WOULD LIKE A RECALL TO BE ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE OLD DASH COMPONENT SO IF THEY NEED TO BE TESTED.*AK

WHEN THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE OWNER STATED THERE WAS NO WHERE IN THE MANUAL THAT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE REPROGRAMMED WITH EVERY BATTERY CHANGE.
