TURN SIGNAL SWITCH/MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH THAT ALSO CONTROLS THE CRUISE CONTROL, WIPERS, AND WINDSHIELD WASHER. 1. I CAN'T PUT THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER IN THE LOCKED POSITION WHEN SIGNALING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, THE SIGNALS WON'T WORK. I HAVE TO APPLY JUST ENOUGH PRESSURE ON THE LEVER TO MAKE THE SIGNALS BLINK. 2. MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS WON'T WORK AT ALL AND I HAD TO REMOVE THE UPPER PART OF THE SWITCH ON THE STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY BUMP IT THE TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHTS WON'T WORK. 3. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT WORK ON LOW UNLESS I TURN ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL. WHEN THE LEFT SIGNAL IS BLINKING THE WIPERS WORK PERFECT ON LOW. WHEN I TURN THE WIPERS ON FAST THEY WILL NOT WORK UNLESS THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS ON AND THEN THEY GO UP THREE INCHES AND DOWN THREE INCHES. *TR

I HAVE A 94 CUTLASS OLDS WITH ONLY 62,000 MILES ON IT. THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN STEPPING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR SURGES FORWARD AND THEN STOPS. TODAY I ALMOST HIT KID CROSSING THE STREET. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I JUST HAD MY BRAKES REPLACED ALL THE WAY AROUND AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. I HAD THEM REPLACED ON 8-16-05. THIS DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME SO THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THEY ARE NOT GOING TO STOP RIGHT AWAY. I CHECKED YOUR SITE AND THERE ARE 16 COMPLAINTS ON THE BRAKES. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE TO MAKE GM DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DEFECT. THE CAR IS A 94 BUT THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF US ON THE STREETS. I AM THINKING ABOUT CALLING THE NEWS STATION HOTLINE SO THIS PROBLEM WILL REALLY BE MADE PUBLIC AND SEE HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE COMPLAIN.

BRIDGESTONE TIRE TRED SEPARATION CAUSING $2000 IN RIGHT FRONT FENDER DAMAGE PLUS RADIO ANTENNA DAMAGE, ABS SENSER DAMAGE, ETC.

THANK GOODNESS, THE CAR IS DRIVABLE.

THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ON MY 1994 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS CRUISER MAKE THE CAR IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP ON AN ICY ROAD. AT VERY LOW SPEEDS, 15 MPH OR LESS ONCE THE ANTILOCK BREAKS KICK IN THE CAR TAKES OFF AND SLIDES RIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION THIS BEHAVIOR IS UNPREDICTABLE, SCARY AND QUITE DANGEROUS. THE TIRES AND BRAKES ARE NEW AND IN GOOD CONDITION. DISABLING THE ANTILOCK BREAKS MAKES THE CAR VERY EASY TO STOP UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS EVEN IF A WHEEL SKIDS A LITTLE BIT. THIS ISN'T AN EQUIPMENT FAILURE AS MUCH AS IT IS A DEFECT IN DESIGN CONCEPT. THE ANTILOCK BRAKES MAY BE FINE FOR A 65 MPH STOP ON A RAINY CALIFORNIA EXPRESSWAY, BUT THEY ARE TERRIBLE ON AN ICY OR SNOWY NEW YORK ROAD AT SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 15 MPH, IN A SLOW SPEED STOP ONCE ONE WHEEL SLIPS. THE WHEELS GO INTO ANTILOCK AND SINCE ALL THE WHEELS ARE ON A SLIPPERY SURFACE THE ANTILOCK ACTION CONTINUES EFFECTIVELY SHUTTING THE BREAKS OFF MAKING THE CAR IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. THE ANTILOCK ACTION IS VERY VIOLENT AND ACTUALLY CAUS
