Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1979 Custom Cruiser.
The 1979 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser is a model that predates the complaint data available for this nameplate, which covers only the 1991 through 1994 model years. Within that later period, the 1992 Custom Cruiser recorded the highest number of complaints at 17, while the 1993 model had the fewest with just one. Because the 1979 model year falls outside this range, its reliability history is not represented in this dataset, meaning any assessment of its dependability must rely on other sources.
