Faults:
Fuel injectors needed to be cleaned and replaced after first 6 months.
Have had front wheel bearings replaced 3 times both by dealer and after market parts, which is a huge expense!
On my third set of brakes and rotors.
Gasket in engine went bad due to corrosion that dealer claimed was due to the "Dex-cool" antifreeze. Another huge expense!
Water pump replaced at 50,000 miles.
Blower switch replaced at 40,000 miles.
Strap from bearing to computer replaced on both wheels.
Two sets of tires, besides the ones that came on the car.
Now need to replace the struts, but am reluctant to put anymore money into this car.
Oh, and don't forget the serpentine belt that had to be replaced after the water pump leaked on it!!
General Comments:
I thought it was a really "hot" car when I bought it! Imagine my surprise when I found out just how "hot" it really was!
By far the worst car I have ever owned! It was my second Oldsmobile purchase, and the first one was also a lemon! You think I would have learned!
Have had extensive correspondence with Oldsmobile, and like everyone else, gotten no satisfaction! They do not stand behind this product, which is very unfortunate!
If all these people feel like I do, it's no wonder they are going out of business!!

I agree with you about it being a great 'girls' car! I hope you keep having good luck luck with it, they are very nice looking cars - best of luck on the following: brakes, lights, fans, molding, gas hand, power windows, maybe you won't have any problems...
