I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE GM DEALERSHIPS IN ORDER TO GET MY IGNITION RECALL, OIL LEAK FROM VALVE COVER RECALL, AND REAR SEATBELT RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF AND SO FAR NONE HAVE RETURNED MY PHONE CALLS REGARDING THE ISSUES. I HAVE HAD THE APPOINTMENTS SET FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS AT 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK ON ANY PARTS ARRIVING. THEY TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE AT BOTH DEALERS THAT IT WOULD TAKE A WEEK AND A HALF FOR PARTS TO ARRIVE AND THAT THEY WOULD RETURN MY CALL WHEN PARTS DID ARRIVE, BUT I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING.

CAR WENT TO A MEINEKE SHOP NOV2015. IN BOLINGBROOK, IL AT 1330 W BOUGHTON RD. NOT TOLD THE CAR WAS UNDER RECALL AT TIME OF REPAIR WORK-SHOULD I BE COMPENSATED?!? OR AT LEAST THE $$ RETURNED FOR THE ORIGINAL WORK DONE AT THE MEINEKE SHOP NOV2015? I HAVE RECEIPT. SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS. BACKGROUND: THE 1998 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE THE WHEEL DID NOT TURN, CAR SEEMED TO BE READY TO DIE OUT-DROVE IT TO A PARKING LOT AT LOCAL PARK A FEW BLOCKS AWAY; CALLED PERSONS WHO KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT CARS; DECIDED TO DRIVE IT DRIVE SLOWLY-WITH FLASHERS ON TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP (MEINEKE) IN BOLINGBROOK, IL; THEY TOOK A LOOK; SAID A PULLEY BROKE/A NEW SERPENTINE BELT WAS NEEDED. NEVER WAS THERE A MENTION UP THAT THIS CAR WAS UNDER RECALL! ALL THEY SAID WAS-"IT IS AN OLDER CAR. " I PAID $350-$400 IN REPAIR WORK; DROVE THE CAR 1-2 DAYS. IT KEPT DYING OUT WHILE DRIVING. I WENT BACK TO THE SAME MEINEKE SHOP; AGAIN NO MENTION CAME UP THAT THE CAR WAS UNDER RECALL! THEY JUST SAID"WHAT CAN WE SAY, IIT IS AN OLDER CAR. UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY MORE $$$, WE CAN'T (OR WON'T) DO ANYTHING MORE FOR YOU" NO MORE WORK WAS DONE BY THEM; I DECIDED TO SLOWLY DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO THE HOUSE, AND LEAVE IT ON THE DRIVE WAY, WHERE IT HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE THAT TIME. IN LATE DECEMBER/2015 I FOUND OUT THE CAR WAS IN RECALL VIA A LETTER FROM GM; IT IS UNSAFE; DO NOT DRIVE IT & PARTS WOULD NOT BE IN UNTIL FEB2016 -LAST WEEK IT WAS SOLD FOR PARTS & TOWED AWAY SHOULD SOMETHING MORE BE DONE? SOME SORT OF RESPONSIBLY TAKEN BY THE REPAIR SHOP SINCE IT WAS UNDER RECALL? ALSO, SHOULD GM HAVE PAID FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE BY DRIVING THE CAR NOT KNOWING IT WAS IN RECALL? THE CAR DID START ON FIRE A FEW MONTHS LATER-ONE LAST TRY AT DECIDING WHAT TO DO TO HAVE IT BEFORE IT WAS "JUNKED" ; NOTE: VIN # GIVEN HERE IS ACTUALLY THE RECALL # ON VEHICLE FROM GM

WAS HAVING AN OIL LEAK AND COULD SMELL BURNT OIL. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT STARTED TO NO HAVE ANY POWER SO I TURNED INTO TSC AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I SEEN SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD. I OPENED UP THE HOOD AND IT WAS ON FIRE AT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE MANAGER FROM TSC CAME OUT WITH EXTINGUISHER AND WE GO T THE FIRE OUT RIGHT AWAY BEFORE IT WAS ANY BIGGER. A FRIEND OF MINE JUST TOLD ME TODAY THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS FOR THIS REASON. MY DAD HAD IT TAKEN IN FOR THAT RECALL IN RUSSELLVILLE, ARKANSAS. WHAT EVERY THEY DID DIDNT FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM JUST GLAD IT WAS CAUGHT RIGHT AWAY. HE HAD JUST LEFT THE HOUSE AND WAS ONLY 3 TO 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHEN IT DID THIS.

EVER SINCE 2010, I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH A SERIOUS GM PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM ISSUE. IT BEGAN WITH MY VEHICLE NOT STARTING ONE DAY. IT HAD POWER; ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS WORKED, RADIO, ETC..., BUT IT WOULD NOT START. AT FIRST, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO, BUT I WOULD ALWAYS SOMEHOW GET IT TO START AFTER A LOT OF PUNCHING OF THE DASHBOARD AND SHIFTING MY GEARS RAPIDLY OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE PROBLEM SLOWLY STARTED OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY AND I BEGAN TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON IT AND FIGURED OUT THAT IT WAS INDEED AN PASSLOCK SYSTEM MALFUNCTION AFTER CONFIRMING THAT MY SECURITY LIGHT WOULD BLINK WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I COULD GET IT TO START AFTER WAITING 10 MINUTES WITH THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION, WHEN THE SECURITY LIGHT WOULD STOP BLINKING AFTER THAT 10 MINS, I WOULD TURN IT BACK TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN BACK TO THE ON POSITION AND IT WOULD START UP, RESETTING THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM. EVENTUALLY, IN 2012, THE PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING USUALLY EVERY 3RD ATTEMPT AT STARTING UP, AND THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM RESET TRICK WOULD NOT WORK 9/10 TIMES, IT WOULD SOMETIMES TAKE HOURS FOR ME TO GET IT TO START. IN NOVEMBER OF 2012, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR SLOWLY STARTING SHUTTING DOWN, ALL WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING, AND ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DIMMED DOWN TO NOTHING, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER UNHARMED (ALSO ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE THIS, MY DRIVER'S SIDE TURN SIGNAL RELAY SYSTEM COMPLETELY BLEW/FAILED). I FOUND OUT THAT MY ALTERNATOR WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED AND DEAD, SO I REPLACED IT. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS, AND THEN IT STARTED OCCURRING AGAIN EVERY NOW AND THEN AND HAS BEEN OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY EVER SINCE; THE PASSLOCK RESET IS CURRENTLY WORKING. CONSIDERING THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MALFUNCTION OF THE GM PASSLOCK SYSTEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS CAUSED HARM TO MY LIFE (EG. SCHOOL & JOB EFFECTED)

PAINT PEEL ON BOTTOM DRIVE AND PASSENGER DOORS, BOTH SIDES. CONTACTED GM AND ASKED THAT I VIST THE OLDSMOBILE DEALER WHERE I FREQUENT. THE DEALTER INDICATED THAT THE PAINT PEEL IS DUE TO NO SPLASH GUARDS OR MUD FLAPS. CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GM SIDED WITH THE DEALER'S ASSESSMENT OF THE REASON FOR THE PAINT PEEL. HOWEVER THE DEALER IS WILLING TO PAY FOR HALF THE COST TO REPAIR THE PAINT PEEL. HOWEVER IT WILL NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE REPAIR WILL PREVENT THE PAINT PEEL FROM OCCURRING IN THE SAME LOCATIONS AGAIN. HOW CAN THE PAINT PEEL BE DUE TO NO SPLASH GUARDS OR MUD FLAPS WHEN THE 1999 OLDSMOBILE STANDARD OR OPTIONAL FEATURES DO NO INCLUDE SPASH GUARDS OR MUD FLAPS
