Owner-reported complaints naming the visibility system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Visibility reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I PURCHASED A 1995 OLDSMOBILE DELTA 88 ROYALE LSS 4D SEDAN 6CY/3800 SERIES 2. AT SEVEN SEAS AUTO 118 MAPLE ST. MANCHESTER NH,03103. PAID 1,500 CAME WITH A 20-DAY PLATE AND A STATE INSPECTION. NOW THE CAR HAS A NEW ALTERNATOR AND EVERYTHING PASSED INSPECTION, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. FIRST THING, CAR WAS BOUGHT ON THE 8TH. MY BIRTHDAY IS ON THE 15TH, YET THE INSPECTION IS GOOD FOR 07 NOT 06 LIKE IT SHOULD BE. SECOND E-BRAKE DOES NOT WORK AND REGULAR BRAKES DON'T WORK RIGHT, THE ABS- BRAKE LIGHT WAS ALWAYS ON. THIRD WITHIN 11 DAYS OF OWNING THE CAR HAD TO BUY 3 BATTERIES. THE FIRST WAS ONE HOUR AFTER BUYING THE CAR, SECOND WAS 5 DAYS LATER. THE THIRD WAS 4 DAYS AFTER THAT. NOW IN HAVERILL MASS. WENT TO PUT THE THIRD BATTERY IN, THE ALTERNATOR STARTED SMOKING UP. THEN CAUGHT ON FIRE. CALLED THE DEALER SAID THIS IS RIDICULOUS I WANT MY MONEY BACK. HE SAID NO FIX IT ON YOUR OWN. PLUS WHEN IT RAINS ALL FOUR FLOORS GET WET. AND THE WINDSHIELD LEAKS WATER DRIPS ON YOUR LEGS WHILE YOUR DRIVING. OBD SENSOR LIGHT ALWAYS ON, AND THE ABS-BRAKE LIGHT ON. *JB
