Asked by tonyfagan1965 Dec 27, 2011 at 10:35 PM about the 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 4 Dr SL Sedan

Question type: General

My 96 Olds Cutlass Supreme quits ONLY when making left hand turns. It has a new battery, but all connections seem to be good. The service engine and ABS light are also on.
