Short and sweet, I was in my vehicle, stationary in my yard, not running without the key and I was locked in. it would not let me out. one can imagine many circumstances where this would be death-inducing.

My complaint IS the fact that companies need to track down any owner of a vehicle that their company makes. My dad purchased this oldsmobile van, it was a used vehicle, he did not realize that there had been recalls for problems with the seat belts, and air bags. I shared a mail box with him, and I got the mail every day, so I know he never received any info on this. In 2010 my dad was involved in a wreck that was not his fault, if you looked at the vehicle it was not even as bad as some you see, but it was his front end that was hit straight on. My dad did not live, he died the next day. The person there on the scene told me that while he was wearing his seat belt it hadn't appeared to have held him, and unsure if the air bag completely inflated. he was the only family I had left, no parents, no grandparents, no siblings, and I can't help but think it could have been avoided, and I could still have him here with me, if he was only notified that there was a problem. I don't want others to go through what I have. The neurosurgeon could not believe the severity of his injuries in comparison to other accidents, his were traumatic, he had a severe brain injury, and crushed chest injuries, which goes right along with the fact that the belt nor bag did not work right, and he felt the full force of the steering wheel.

I purchased goodyear eagle LS tires p225/60r16 they now have 25,000 miles on them and are completely bald. Sams club measured the tread at 0/32. Sams offered me a prorated warranty of $35 per tire, I paid $73. (Out the door $184 for 2)they were sold to me as a 50000 mile tire, they are under warranty and wore out at half the warranty. Isn't this a faulty tire? I can't afford new tires again and they are very dangerous for me and my children during the rainy season. I tried to email goodyear but the link does not work. Hummm, I bet they know that. Other people on line said they got no where with them. Please help. shouldn't they have to replace the tire? I see they have many loop holes. How can I get help. I see many complaints on line on this same tire wearing out too early. I don't want to have to check the box that there were deaths or injuries seen below.

My 2001 olds silhouette van. Back on 08/01/08 experienced the same fuel tank failure as described in recall # 07v349000 for the 2001 chevrolet venture van. After having the tank replaced I found out about the above recall for the same problem on the chevy van I contacted chevy customer service for repayment of the repair cost. I was informed this morning that since the nhtsa did not include my vehicle in the recall they were not responsible for the repair cost. My question IS how can my van go down the same assembly line as the chevy venture and other vehicles listed in the recall experience the same failure and yet not be included? *Tr

Our 2001 oldsmobile silhouette has had numerous issues. the issues are placed in a close chronological order. all events have occurred after 50K miles with the exception of the power door locks. the dealer took care of all recalls. the power door locks intermittently lock and unlock. this problem has been to the dealer over 4 times. the first time the dealer replaced ignition switch wiring harness and the last time the dealer replaced a chafed wire under the passenger seat. the other times the dealer could not isolate. the problem still occurred. we got tired of bringing it to the dealer. the drivers side seat heater had failed. at 66K miles, the transmission went out. it was due to a faulty sun gear. I had to replace tie rods on the vehicle twice on each side. once around 70K and once around 115K. the fuel ascending unit failed around 90K. on the passenger side I had to replace the wheel bearings and the cv axle. lights in the heater controls have blown and the only way to replace them IS to solder new bulbs onto the control module. the blower motor failed on 1ST and 2ND speed. we experienced the same engine overheating issues as seen by other individuals at mycarstats.com. this relates to the cooling system. I had three separate issues stemming from this. the first failure was a blown head gasket. about 8 months later the upper manifold gasket blew. six months later another cooling system failure blamed on the lower intake manifold. many of the repairs where costly. the lower intake manifold failure was never fixed. we decided to pass this gm piece of junk on. it had 137K miles. most of the miles driven where highway, very few city and stop-and-go. *jb

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.
