WE BOUGHT OUR VEHICLE (1999 OLDSMOBILE SILHOUETTE) USED AND WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS AND TCS, AND NOW THE REAR BRAKES. IT FIRST HAPPENED WHEN IT WAS VERY COLD OUTSIDE AND MY WIFE NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WITH MY 2-YEAR OLD AND 4-MONTH OLD DAUGHTER'S IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE A MONTH AND HAD IT TOWED THIS MORNING TO HAVE AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP LOOK AT IT. THE ABS SYSTEM IS NOT COVERED IN OUR WARRANTY AND FROM READING THE HISTORY OF THIS VEHICLE, WE WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS. *NM

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
