  also had brake issues - 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By swilliams - December 19 - 10:00 am

  My 1999 Cutlass has only 23,000 miles on it. I also had to have the brakes replaced (at 21,00 miles!). I have just been told I need new tires - even though I have been vigilant about rotating and alignments. There is no way a car with this low mileage should have to have brakes/tires replaced at under 25,000 miles! Other than those issues I have thoroughly enjoyed my Cutlass.

  A GM Money Trap - 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By Jimbo - November 15 - 3:40 pm

  After numerous shoddy brake replacements, ABS sensor malfunctions, alternators, premature leather wear, air conditioning faults, transmission disasters, and the final death knell of the infamous intake manifold leak, Im glad to be saying bye-bye to the Cutlass. Be warned, this is a car you will be pouring major cash into to keep it operational, and thats not including the disappointing fuel economy either.

  Could be High Dollar - 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By Al in Texas - July 24 - 2:00 am

  This could be a High Dollar car if there wasnt so many things going wrong with it. I had bought the car w/36000 miles on it. Break job w/in the 1st year. New tires 2nd year. New internal fan moter for interier comfert 3rd year. And fixed the horn twice during this time. Also the Alternator went out twice.

  Cutlass blues - 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By Sandykoot - June 28 - 10:00 am

  I found the car to be comfortable enough, and when it works, it works well. Like others, I find it eats brakes up at an amazing rate, having replaced the front brakes 4 times in 90,000 miles. Have had problems with AC, which never worked well, as well as radio,alternator, computer module, an unfindable coolant leak and other minor problems. I am disappointed in the reliability of the car, and am trading it much sooner than I wished due to its unreliability. Thank God for AAA, which gets called to drag this dog out of the road. This is my second and LAST Olds.

  Cutty - 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By Mani - December 7 - 1:30 am

  Intake manifold went twice, like everyone else on here $600 the first time and $500 the second time. Alternator, battery because of alternator, rotors and pads, more times than I can count, front end axle, water pump twice. Computer system is a mess, recalled, but didnt bother wasting my time getting it. No wonder they stopped making this car.

  maintain it - 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By kjo - December 5 - 1:46 pm

  I got my car in December 1999, it now has 178,ooo miles on it. If you want this car to last do what I did. KEEP UP THE MAINTAINCE. I do the maintaince regularly when scheduled and I fix the minor problems before they become major. This car is still going strong. I will keep it. To bad they dont make this car anymore or I would by another.

  a car for the mechanically inclined only - 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By krick - August 30 - 2:00 am

  Major problems with front brakes. Several iterations with the dealer before getting the best parts available and doing the job myself. Poor fuel economy compared to other V6s in its class. Was not long before arm rest broke. Seatbelt has never retracted correctly, plastic guide on belt tab broke off. is this what made in America means ?

  Cutlass ROCKS!!! - 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By Gucci - August 25 - 10:00 am

  MY car has 45,0000 miles and is getting to its prime. The engine has very nice acceleration, but thats the only good thing about the engine. Could have a nicer interior, but you get what you pay for.

  Disappointed - 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By kkgerman - July 30 - 10:00 am

  Mechanically, it has been one thing after another. The rotors were bad after two years, the generator assembly, and a lower gasket seal. Had I not had an extended warranty the lower gasket seal would have cost $700.
