NHTSA Complaint #748647 — 1992 OLDSMOBILE ACHIEVA

THIS CAR FROM THE GET GO WAS A LEMON. I CONTACTED THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM, THEY SAID THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE CAR, SO THERE WAS NOTHING THAT ANYONE COULD DO FOR ME. I NEVER EVEN KNEW THAT NTSA EXISTED BEFORE TODAY. I AM NOT SURE THERE IS ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO BUT I DO KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE WITH A "BAD" ACHIEVA. ANOTHER THING WRONG WITH THE CAR IS THE PAINT CHIPS RIGHT OFF!!! THIS CAR HAS BEEN FALLING APART AS SOON AS I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT!! IT MAY BE TOO LATE FOR ME BUT THESE CARS SHOULD BE PULLED OFF THE ROAD SO PEOPLE DONT GO BROKE LIKE I DID KEEPING THEM RUNNING. NOT TO MENTION THAT THE HEAD ON THE ACHIEVA IS ALUMINUM AND THE GASKETS BREAK AFTER SO MUCH PRESSURE. I HAD TO REPLACE THAT TOO!! THE HARD PART WAS FINDING A MECHANIC THAT WOULD EVEN TOUCH THE ENGINE. NO MECHANICS ARE WILLING TO DEAL WITH QUAD 4 ENGINES!!! IF THAT DOESNT TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THESE CARS THAN I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY BUT HELP!!! *AK
