1999 Cutlass GL sedan
I have had my car almost 2 years now. It has 180,000 miles on it we have had it to Florida 4 times, Louisville several. The car still runs like a new one. I see all these bad things wrong with these on here. I guess I just got a good one the only major problem we have had is the intake gasket small problem. Didn't take but $200 to fix. Seems like these people all just got a lemon.
I love it!
Just traded it in and I miss it already.
Computer False Problems
The car has gone through brakes very quickly two sets and only 53K miles. The two big issues were: 1. The coolant problem gm would not own up too and cost me Major head work $2k 2. Now I am getting false engine warning lights, replace O2 sensor and gas cap, still getting intermittent codes, other warning lights are the charging system which is working at 13.5-14 volts, I am getting a security system light, the power Windows are working intermittently. Anyone know what the heck is going on, I am thinking the computer is on its way out.
A GM Money Trap
After numerous shoddy brake replacements, ABS sensor malfunctions, alternators, premature leather wear, air conditioning faults, transmission disasters, and the final death knell of the infamous intake manifold leak, I'm glad to be saying bye-bye to the Cutlass. Be warned, this is a car you will be pouring major cash into to keep it operational, and that's not including the disappointing fuel economy either.
Not a Reliable Car
My Cutlass was good for the first three years. Then each year I have had 1-2 expensive repairs, including the alternator, head gasket, water pump, struts & mounts, new computer, window switch, all in addition to the usual battery, brakes, belts, tire type maintenance. Now the brakes need turning/replacement AGAIN and the new computer still doesn't seem quite right. Most of the problems started at around 55,000 miles and this car currently only has 80,000! I don't like to go far from home at all. I am planning to unload this high maintenance car ASAP.
