Recalls
3 recalls name the 1998 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
Dealers will replace the passenger side windshield wiper pivot housing. owner notification began august 14, 2001. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537.

General motors recently recalled the 1997-2005 chevrolet malibu for the ignition switch problem. I own the sister vehicle which IS a 1998 oldsmobile cutlass. This vehicle IS the identical layout of the chevrolet malibu which has been recalled. I sent a couple of e-mail messages to the gm customer assistance center and just received a phone call explaining to me that at this time they had no intention of doing a recall on the oldsmobile cutlass for the ignition switch. Even though I have not encountered a problem with my ignition switch as of yet, I deem it a safety issue which gm should fix. I do not know if anyone else has complained of similar issues as mine, but I wanted to inform you of my concerns. I do not know if this IS the proper forum for this, so if not, please forward my concerns to the proper authorities. Thank you *tr

Have had ignition switch just shut off driving down the road. Exactly as described in gm's recent recall on ignition switches on newer cars. Loses all electrical power and engine shuts off. Has happened numerous times while I have owned it for the last 10 or so years. When it happens I just quickly put it in neutral and restart immediately. This IS a 1998 olds cutlass. It IS apparent that gm's problem with their ignition switch goes back a lot farther than they care to admit. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 1998 oldsmobile cutlass. the contact stated that the steering wheel would tighten when making right and left turns. he received a recall letter pertaining to the steering rack and pinion, which stated that the lower pinion bearings in the power rack and pinion assembly were not crimped properly. this IS where the retainer tabs were located. the failure could allow the ball bearings to escape. the dealer repaired the vehicle according to nhtsa campaign ID number 03v527000 (steering:rack and pinion); however, the contact felt no change in the vehicle. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer a second time for repairs, but the failures still persisted. in addition, the contact heard a loud continuous banging noise coming from the steering column. the failure mileage was 66,051 and current mileage was less than 125,096.

I work for a ignition interlock company. I have seen several vehicles enter the service center with problems with the ignition switch. The key has to be shaken several times in order to get the key to turn to start the vehicle. These ignitions are mounted to the right of the steering column. I have noticed it on almost every vehicle that has the ignition mounted to the right of the steering column not on the column. That IS an oldsmobile. I own the 1998 oldmobile cutlass. Was there ever a recall as defect of this ignition and IS the dealership responsible for replacement? If I ever had an emergency I would not be able to start my car right away as it at times takes up to five to ten minutes to get the key to turn. *Tr

1) the failure occurred under normal use of wipers in heavy rain. 2) during normal use, the passenger side wiper arm appeared to become dislodged and began moving erratically. after inspection of the wiper assembly it was discovered that the plastic housing that holds the wiper arm to the wiper motor was cracked and broken away from the linkage to the wiper motor. the consequences of this failure IS that neither wiper arm operates and this causes hazardous driving conditions by reducing visibility during rain or frost. 3) after researching this apparent defect in the manufacturers original part, I discovered an open recall IS already in effect for this particular year, make, and model (nhtsa campaign ID# 01v068000). the description under this recall IS identical to the problem I encountered and IS for the same vehicle. I contacted the manufacturer, gm-oldsmobile, and the open recall was verified, but I was told my particular vin# was not on their list. I was told that if gm happens to add other vehicles from the same year, make, and model to the list then I would be notified, but no repairs would be offered. *tr

I have a 1998 oldsmobile cutlass with 55,000 miles--the car has a 3.1 liter V6 with a blown intake gasket-- it cost me $550 to have this fixed. Per 3 mechanics --"all"l 3.1 intake gaskets go out at around 50,00 miles I feel the gm should pay for defects that effects all 3.1S I've had 40+ cars in my life and never ever had an intake manifold go out on any of them---------to me that's a mfg defect!!! *jb

I submitted my complaint to gm and to the attorney general of michigan. my complaint stems from problems I have encountered over the last 3-4 years with my 1998 oldsmobile cutlass related to rust on and around the gas filler pipe and door. I have a continuous warning light (check engine) on my dashboard that according to the owner's manual may impact the emission controls in my engine. this warning light appears to be due to the poor fit of the gas cap on the filler pipe due to rust. cap replacement has not helped. there IS also a significant amount of rust that has developed surrounding the gas filler pipe door on the right rear body panel. I spoke with a body shop and they mentioned they had seen several vehicles of this type with similar damage and was due to the insulation collecting moisture under the body panel and rusting through from the back side. I have personally seen two other same make/model vehicles with the same exact issues. gm responded to my complaint stating the rust-through protection on my vehicle had expired and there are no currently no recalls issued. my contention IS this issue IS not isolated to my vehicle regardless of mileage and age and presents not only unsightly damage and cost to repair, but a safety issue surrounding the gas filler pipe. *Nm

Transmission slips after vehicle has warmed up. After driving the vehicle for approximately 45 min. Or so, if one stops the vehicle shift to park then shift to drive again the vehicle would not move right away. One can hear the engine accelerate, then the vehicle would move slowly until the transmission finally engages, sometimes in a abruptly manner. This problem has been occurring in my vehicle since the day I got it. I complained to the dealership about it and they said there was nothing wrong with it. I contacted the vehicle manufacturing company (GMC) they suggested to bring the vehicle to a different dealership, which I did and they told me they could not find anything wrong either. On the other hand, the vehicle continues to show the same problem. II have contacted other owners of the same model and type of vehicles and they have said that they have experienced the same exact problem(s), in other case the transmission has simply gone bad. *Jb

Recall on 1998 olds cutlass- I was not notified of such recall on steering: rack and pinion. I am paying out of pocket for this repair and am getting a run around from oldsmobile. my car IS being serviced at a non-gm facility. oldsmobile IS very inconsistant and unreliable, especially when it comes to safety and customer service. I will never buy a gm vehicle, and recommend that my friends/family not buy one either. gm IS not customer oriented and this IS very dissappointing.

I currently have the following problems with my 1998 olds cutlass GL. My power steering IS stiff and makes a "wailing" noise. My coolent system has a leak. My heat and air have completey stopped working. I have had problems (in the past that have been repaired_ with my power window locking up (drivers side). The sound system shorted out. The cd player quit working. I have replaced my wiper blades several times and they still do not clear the windshield completely. One time when my teens were using my car, they were on the interstate and the car went completely dead...not only were they terrified, it was a very dangerous situation for them to be in.*ak

On february 22, 2000, the office of defects investigation (odi) initiated pe00-009 based on seven reports of windshield wiper failure in certain model year (my) 1997 & 1998 chevrolet malibu & oldsmobile cutlass vehicles.the investigation was upgraded to ea00-019 on july 12, 2000.during the course of the investigation, it was found that the failures were the result of fracture of the passenger-side windshield wiper pivot housing (subject component).such a fracture led to an immediate and irrecoverable loss of windshield wiper function.gmreported that the material composition (50% glass-reinforced acetal) of the subject component was insufficient to withstand stresses imposed by certain frozen precipitiation accumulations.the subject component material was changed to the stronger 50% glass-reinforcednylon-6, effective january 98.obsolete service part were discarded.gm will replace the subject components in 129,427 subject vehicles found in 28 states (ak, co, ct, de, ID, il, in, ia me, md, ma, mi, mn, mt, ne, nh, nj, ny, nd, oh, pa, ri, sd, ut, vt, wv, wi, wy), the district of columbia, and all canadian provinces.these states accounted for 91% of the consumer complaints identified above.odi will monitor this compaign for adequate effctiveness and, if necessary, take further action in the future.further expenditure of agency resources on this matter IS unjustified at this time.the engineering analysis IS closed.
