1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass problems
The Oldsmobile Cutlass was a series of automobiles produced by General Motors' Oldsmobile division between 1961 and 1999. At its introduction, the Cutlass was Oldsmobile's entry-level model; it began as a unibody compact car, but saw its greatest success as a body-on-frame intermediate. The Cutlass was named after Vought F7U Cutlass, as well as the type of sword, which was common during the Age of Sail.
Introduced as the top trim level in Oldsmobile's compact F-85 Series, the Cutlass evolved into a distinct series of its own, spawning numerous variants. These included the 4-4-2 muscle car in 1964, the upscale Cutlass Supreme in 1966, the high-performance Hurst/Olds in 1968, and the Vista Cruiser station wagon.
By the 1980s, Oldsmobile was using the Cutlass as a sub-marque, with numerous vehicle lines bearing the name simultaneously. The compact Cutlass Calais, midsize Cutlass Ciera, Cutlass Cruiser station wagon, and flagship midsize Cutlass Supreme were among the models available during this time.
In the 1990s, Oldsmobile began moving away from its traditional model lines, with other legacy vehicle nameplates like the 98 and 88 being discontinued in 1996 and 1999, respectively. The Cutlass name was likewise retired in 1999 in favor of the all-new Oldsmobile Alero, ending nearly 40 years of continuous Cutlass production.

Common 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass problems
The Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, produced from 1988 to 1997, is known for several common issues that affect its performance and reliability. One of the most common problems is with the fuel injectors, which can fail or leak, leading to a decrease in fuel efficiency and engine performance. In some cases, the fuel injectors may need to be replaced to solve the issue.
Another common issue with the fifth generation Cutlass Supreme is with the ignition switch. Some drivers have reported issues with the ignition switch failing, which can cause the car to stall or not start at all. In some cases, the entire ignition switch may need to be replaced to solve the issue.
Transmission problems are also common in the fifth generation Cutlass Supreme. Some drivers have reported issues with the transmission slipping or failing, which can lead to a decrease in performance or even a complete breakdown of the transmission. In some cases, the transmission may need to be rebuilt or replaced to solve the issue.
In addition to these issues, some drivers have reported problems with the air conditioning system. Some drivers have reported that the air conditioning system does not blow cold air, or that the air only blows from certain vents. In some cases, the issue is with the compressor, and in others, it is with the evaporator or the control module.
Electrical issues are also common in the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Some drivers have reported problems with malfunctioning gauges, non-functioning power windows, and blown fuses. These issues can be caused by a faulty gauge cluster, wiring issues, or faulty switches or motors. A qualified mechanic can inspect the system and determine the cause of the issue.
Regular maintenance and inspection can help prevent these issues from occurring in the first place. However, if you are experiencing any of these issues, it is important to have them addressed by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the vehicle.
