| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The front engine-cradle retainers broke permitting the engine to fall to the road surface as i turned onto a highway disabling all steering controll. i have since been told of a recall ( that had been issued in 1997 ) on the rear retainers of the engine-cradle. i haven't checked the part #s to see if they are the same #s but the functions are the same, to hold the sub-frame to the body. i have been told by oldsmobile that due to the age ( 10 years ) and the mileage that this is my resonsibility to repair. my questions are why are the rear retainers under recall and not the front retainers since they are similar in function and design? who is responsible when these retainers break at highway speeds? when is the car too old for a recall when it's still in use? i've had this car at goodyear and firestone each this past year for front-end alignment and they had no knowledge of this potential problem. |
