We had the key cylinder replace in January. since then this car I would realy like to push off a cliff. We had it in the shop in July it wouldnt start. We had a gasket changed a baring for the brakes, wire harness and battery cables all fixed 2k later.I go pick up the car and go to the gas station right after picking it up from the shop it wouldnt start. have it towed back to the shop. They tell us it the ignition cylinder again. Luckely that is still under warrenty. We get the car back and things were better. Then a couple of days ago it wouldnt start, have it towed to the shop and they tell us its the fuel pump have that replaced $800. I found this site a day to late. I was amazed at how many people have the same problem and its still not fixed.
I agree with alot of you olsmobile needs to step up and fix the problem, our come upwith a solution to help us fix it insted of sitting thier fo ten min hopeing that its going to work.
