Power sliding door latch actuator failure. latch IS stuck in open position, will not latch. exact same problem as described in previous recalls nhtsa campaign ID number: 01v067000 and nhtsa campaign ID number: 01v264000. oldsmobile states vehicle has been repaired under the recall already in 2002. I purchased used with low miles (around 70K) in 2009. vehicle has been meticulously maintained and IS in close to showroom condition as you could find for a 2000. oldsmobile states there are not enough complaints about the repair to consider any ongoing recalls. oldsmobile informs me that with a vehicle of this age, regardless of mileage or condition, mechanical and electrical parts should be expected to fail. somehow, I don't consider my door flying open going down the road to be just a minor failure or inconvenience. it IS a huge safety issue, one that has been documented enough that there was an initial recall, then a second recall to fix the first recall. obviously, this was a band aid repair. I got most of the service records from the first two owners. this vehicle was used mostly by an older couple and the sliding door has much lower than average use for a 100,000 mile car. there are not that many of these gm minvans on the road, and as a result the absolute number of complaints might be low. it should be considered that gm did not perform a sufficient repair and did just enough to get by. oldsmobile told me that the repair at this point IS up to the customer. what will it take for this recall to be reviewed? fortunately no one was in my captain's chair when our door flew open. will someone have to be killed or run over for this to be reviewed? *tr

I was no the freeway and there IS a lot of construction so there IS no where to pull over the car got really hot. I was trying to get off the freeway as I was going on the off ramp the car temp all the sudden went red then engine had stopped. I had my girls in the car. they where very scared. Come to find out the head gasket went out for the second time. It went out just after I bought the car it was at 41000 mile now at 120000 it goes out again it IS now going to cost me another $1700 to fix it. I have read a lot of complaints about this problem why have you not look in to this problem. IS it a safety problem these car heat up insteadly an the engine has a fail safe that shuts it off. If it would have shut off a few moments earlier I would have still been on the freeway and I would have been hit. *Tr

I was driving down the road and all of a sudden the radio stopped working. I thought that a fuse had blown (which it did) so I replaced it. About 20 miles down the road it did it again. When I stopped at my destination I realized that the fuse that was continually blowing controlled my radio, the actuator module of the power sliding door, the navigation system and the remote control for locking and unlocking my doors. I managed to narrow it down to the actuator module that was causing the problem. I locked my motor for the door and haven't had a problem with it since. I got a fax from gm and it shows that the acuator module has been replaced 3-4 times before the car even had 8500 miles on the car. The cable has been adjusted as well for the same door. I didn't see any recalls on the actuator itself. I don't know what to do at this point. I would apprieciate any feed back as soon as possible.

Was told that my intake manifold gasket was starting to rust and would need to be replaced eventually. Service dept. Mgr at midway chevy in plainwell, mi told me he would keep an eye on it at every oil change (this went on for at least 3 months). March 7TH my coolant level low light came on. Husband checked the level and the reservoir was empty and all gummy in bottom. Said it needed to be flushed and refilled. Took to non-gm dealer since it was after hours and knew the owner would take care of in morning. He called and said the manifold had to be replaced as the coolant had leaked internally and externally. The repair cost was $607.00.

First, what happened to odi #'s 563553 and 767723? these were in the complaint database in 2002 but do not show up on the complaint search today. as reported in 2002, my vehicle again shut down without warning while driving in traffice at 40+ mph - engine quit, messages "check engine", "low fuel", and 'security" appeared on the console in rotation, lasting a few seconds each. the "security" message implies that the programmable key system coes not recognize the key, though it IS the original given to us at time of purchase in 2000. The car suddenly decelerated in traffic without brakelights, due to the dead engine with transmission still engaged. in 2002, this happened three times before the dealer found a fix for the problem, the third time resulting in a collision of two vehicles trying to avoid me when my car suddenly decelerated. this time there was no property damage, but no security system should ever shut down a vehicle once it IS in motion.

Subject vehicles are available with an optional power sliding door.the interior handle IS oriented in the vertical position in the door panel and lines up at the elbow level when the occupant IS seated in the 2nd-row outboard position.if the occupant holds the interior handle in the thumb up position during power-assisted opening, the arm/wrist can be push back with force against the 2nd-row bucket seat or captain's chair seat back creating a risk of injury (other seating configurations have ample seat to door clearance to avoid entrapment of the lower arm).among the 103 total reports, there were 102 alleged injuries including arm/wrist, thumb and shoulder injuries.a count of injuries reveals that 76 injuries were a fractured or a broken arm/wrist requiring an immobilizing cast for four-to-six weeks.all injuries involve the right side power sliding door.the left side power sliding door IS on far fewer vehicles, but more importantly, it produces less force.gm notified the agency by letter dated december 21, 2004, that it will recall model year 1997 though early 2005 gm u-van vehicles equipped with a right side power sliding door and with 2nd-row bucket seats or captain chairs (nhtsa recall #04v597).as part of the recall remedy, gm will replace the door handle with a flush mounted handle that will prevent an occupant from grasping the handle with the palm between the handle and door panel (thumb up orientation) and thus eliminate the potential for arm/wrist entrapment.this investigation IS closed.
