Recalls
3 recalls name the 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Newest first.
Certain delphi fuel pressure regulators, p/nos. Fp10020-11b1, fp10026-11b1, and fp10027-11b1, sold after january 9, 2007, as aftermarket equipment for various passenger vehicles listed above. the universal pressure regulators (upr) were produced without an o'ring and retainer.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Fuel may leak, possibly resulting in a fire.
Remedy
Delphi will notify owners and replace the upr free of charge. the recall began on april 23, 2007. owners can contact delphi at 877-411-8770.
Certain passenger vehicles have lower pinion bearings in the power rack and pinion assembly in which the retainer tabs were not crimped properly. these retainers could fail and permit the ball bearings to escape.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If this occurs, the pinion shaft can be forced upward during left turns and back down as the steering wheel IS moved back and to the right. if the pinion shaft moves further, the driver will need to exert more effort to turn the steering wheel, similar to a vehicle without power assisted steering. if the pinion shaft moves even further, the driver will require much higher effort to turn left and may not be able to turn the wheel as much as intended. with the maximum pinion shaft movement, which requires internal gear component damage, the driver can encounter high resistance to turning left, followed by unintended power assist to the right. in any of these conditions, a crash could occur.
Remedy
Dealers will install a new lower pinion bearing unless inspect of the existing bearing indicates that replacement of the gear assembly IS necessary. owner notification began on february 5, 2004. owners should contact buick at 1-866-608-8080; chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438; oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537; or pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.
On certain passenger vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the "salt belt" states: alaska, colorado, connecticut, delaware, idaho, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, montana, nebraska, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, north dakota, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, south dakota, utah, vermont…
Risk and remedy
Risk
Reduced visibility in inclement weather could lead to a vehicle crash.
Remedy

I purchased aftermarket fuel tank and sending unit from parts store :spectra premium brand #gm30a fuel tank and sp09d1h. After installing these parts into my car, I found I had a large gas leak when I filled the car with fuel like about a gallon went on the ground and it leaked as I drove the car…
I purchased aftermarket fuel tank and sending unit from parts store :spectra premium brand #gm30a fuel tank and sp09d1h. After installing these parts into my car, I found I had a large gas leak when I filled the car with fuel like about a gallon went on the ground and it leaked as I drove the car back to the shop. I had to have the fuel tank taken out and my mechanic found the seal #L020 from spectra premium, did not fit making it leak fuel, installed another new L020 seal and before he installed the tank into the car he did a bench test and it fuel gushed out as if there was no seal installed, he looked at the old rusted tank seal and found it to be much more robust so he got a gm seal #10152293 and installed it and again he bench tested the tank and no leak, the L020 seal that comes with the new tank and one IS included with the new sending unit IS an incorrect fit or wrong size or diameter it also IS very flimsy compared to the gm seal. This seal IS listed for many gm cars including mine. I may not have found this problem until I filled my fuel tank, a lot of wasted labor went into having to fix this dangerous part, if this vehicle would have been in an accident, lives may have been lost from fuel leakage. I have contacted spectra premium about this problem,now I am contacting you also please have these parts inspected!!

We bought the car in 2010 from a used car dealer. upon 6 months of driving we noticed a steering problem that was hard to the left and just didn't seem right. the engine also had overheating and gasket problems so we had the engine replaced. upon test driving the vehicle the mechanic was driving and the power steer had a complete failure and ran him towards oncoming traffic and then back another direction. upon return to the shop he concluded the entire rack was broken and needed replaced. at the time in 2011 we were not aware that gm recalled the lower pinion bearing in the power steering rack in 2003 so we had paid for a new rack and pinion to be replaced. there evidently was leftover debris in the rack in pinion from the original part failure and now has ruined the 2ND rack and pinion. my complaint IS that in 2004 our car IS listed as a car that was affected and had been serviced in 2004 in georgia. the only thing replaced was a tiny snap ring, in which the detailed repair pdf states in multiple incidences that it IS up to the mechanic to decide how much failure has taken place what to do and that any misteps will lead to other part failures!! we bought this car w/ very low mileage so at the point they say they fixed the car and when it broke was approx. 30,000 miles. they either did not fix correctly or they did not touch the car at all because the very description to what happened to our car was exactly what IS listed as the failure of the part. we would like the original part failure that IS now shredded into hundreds of pieces causing future rack and pinion failures to be flushed clean and honestly should replaced the entire rack because they never fixed the part originally or they didn't fix it correctly and the original part failed exactly as stated on the recall to the point the mechanic almost wrecked our car. *tr

Anti-theft system on my 1997 olds cutlass comes on frequently and will not allow my car to start. in researching this issue I see there are literally 100'S of complaints regarding this very problem. gm should be made to fix the issue by completely replacing the defective part with one that IS more stable. this problem started out only happening ever once in awhile, now it IS happening daily. my only option at this point, IS to disconnect the very feature that would prevent my vehicle from being stolen. obviously, replacing the ignition or key IS a short term fix as the new part also becomes defective in a very short period of time. *tr

Intake manifold gasket failed twice. First repaired at monroe service on 11-18-2005 at 76655 miles the cost was $731.16. second repair was at goodyear gemini on 12-21-2006 at 82274miles. The cost was $642.40. both facilities were ase certified. I have been an assistant store manager in the past for both procare and goodyear, and rarely saw a failure of an intake manifold gasket, except in early foriegn engines with aluminum blocks or aluminum heads or both. I just had a front brake overhaul at midas, and the tech nician asked if I had had any problems with theintake manifold gasket, which set me off on this search. I talked to the managers at both monroe and goodyear ,and both said they have had many problems with these gaskets that they have had to repair. did a google search and found many complaints about it, and saw that a class action lawsuit out of canada was being filed. I could provide the necessary documentation of both repairs. talked to gm about it, and as I expected, said that I didn't bring it to a gm facility for repair, and that it had excessive mileage. I did not consider 76665 or 82274 as excessive mileage for the year of the car or this type of failure. what would have happened if this defect caused fuel to leak out onto hot exterior of the engine? *ak

I own a 1997 oldsmobile cutlass and I have been having problems with the passlock anti-theft system on this vehicle for some time. sometimes when I try and start this vehicle, the theft system light starts to blink on and off. when this happens, the vehicle can not be started for at least 10 minutes. this IS very frustrating as it usually happens at the worst of times, like in the cold winter weather, at a gas station, or in a loading/unloading zone at a hotel. sometimes the theft system light will come on while driving and then I wonder if the car will start when I am ready to leave again. I have read many stories about similar problems that other gm owners have on their vehicles, so I know that this IS not a random problem that affects only some people. this IS a problem that needs to be addressed by gm. I have had the ignition switch replaced once on this vehicle, and this will be a very expensive option if I have to do that again. IS there anything that can be done about this? the date listed below IS the most recent date that this happened. it happened twice last week when we were out of town on a trip at the worst of times. *jb
