If you own it sell it - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette
By nobehappy - October 31 - 12:53 pmGood looking with lots of features. But way too many mechanical problems. Heated seats went right after the warranty. The gasket problems cost a fortune to fix and occur over and over. The transmission gave out at 110k miles. Towed to Olds dealer. They quoted $3,400 for them to fix and another $625 for other problems they found on the diagnostics tests. It is going to the junk yard as it is not worth fixing. I really regret buying this thing...just shows how far they are behind in matching the higher- quality build of Hondas and Toyotas. It is no wonder GM has problems getting people to want to buy their vehicles and trust them after experiences like this.

Do Not Buy - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette
By kendra james - December 5 - 2:00 amThis is my first and last experience with an Oldsmobile. The check engine light comes on more than the headlights. As for comfort, interior design, etc. I wouldnt know...I spend more time in a rental than in the van. All in all.. I am not impressed in the least.. I am an American and proud of it but trust me...buy Japan...

Transmission - 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette
By T S - September 30 - 2:00 amBeware of transmission problems. Im not a rough driver, and Ive just bought my 3rd transmission and only have 66,000 miles on it. Ive had it looked at by a few different transmission repair shops and all of them said that GM didnt do a very good job on this transmission. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
