ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, STEERING
THE ENGINE RANDOMLY DIES OR STALLS WHILE IN TRAFFIC AT RANDOM TIMES AND WILL NOT TURN BACK ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THE STALLING OCCURS AND THANKFULLY ONLY ON CITY STREETS. CODES HAVE NOT BEEN PRESENT BUT THE STALLING AND IDLE LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT IS FAULTY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS. IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE STEERING COLUMN MAKES AN AUDIBLE CLICK NOISE WHEN TURNING PAST THE 12 O'CLOCK POSITION ANYTIME THE STEERING WHEEL IS CRANKED, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN SOMETIMES, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. THIS IS MOST LIKELY DO TO POOR LUBRICATION OF A BEARING OR JOINT IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE CHIMES AS WELL BUT THE ESC WORKS AS IT SHOULD, NO MATTER THE DRIVING CONDITIONS IT COMES ON, MOST LIKELY A FAULTY CIRCUIT BOARD.

TIRES
I RECENTLY PURCHASED FOUR (4) GOODYEAR EAGLE ULTRA GRIP GW-3 TIRES (235/55R17) FROM SAMS CLUB IN DOVER, DELAWARE AND THEY WERE SHIPPED FROM THE GOODYEAR WAREHOUSE ALL WITH A DOT DATE OF 3614 ALMOST 4-YEARS OLD! I DONT BELIEVE GOODYEAR SHOULD BE SELLING TIRES WITH A DOT DATE OF 3614. IF YOU PROVIDE ME WITH AN E-MAIL, I CAN FORWARD MY CORRESPONDENCE WITH GOODYEAR CONSUMER RELATIONS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I BOUGHT THIS 2001 AURORA USED IN 2015. THE CHECK ENGINE WAS ON AND WHEN I QUESTIONED PREVIOUS OWNER HE STATED IT WAS A SENSOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND IT WAS PUT ON A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND THERE WEREN'T ANY FAILURES, ALERTS OR FAULTY SENSORS DETECTED. JUNE OF 2016 MY DASH BOARD SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. I CAN'T SEE MY ODOMETER THE GAS HAND DOESN'T WORK AND IT HAS LOST ALL ILLUMINATION. I'VE HAD FUSES CHECKED, REPLACED ETC. IN OCTOBER 2016 MY AIR CONDITIONING UNIT STOPPED WORKING. REPLACED COMPRESSOR, TO NO AVAIL. THE HEATER ONLY BLOWS WARM AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. OCCASIONALLY I GET A LOW FUEL WARNING WHEN I'M JUST IDLING EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS. HAVE HAD A LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SINCE I'VE BOUGHT IT, AND REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES WITH BRAND NEW ONES, BEEN TO 5 TIRE SHOPS TO SEE IF THEY CAN RESET SENSOR. MOST MY PROBLEMS SEEM TO BE ELECTRICAL. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT OR WILL NOT GIVE ME INFORMATION. I LOVE MY CAR, AND WANT TO KEEP IT. HELP PLEASE.

I'VE NOTICED ABOUT A YEAR AGO I WOULD START THIS CAR, AND THE RPM'S WOULD GO VERY HIGH. AFTER A WHILE IT STOPPED DOING IT. THE LAST TWO WEEKS WHILE DRIVING IT ACCELERATES ON IT OWN. NO NEED TO TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS, AND I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.IT HAPPENS WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A FUEL LINE ON MY CAR THAT IS CRACKED AND I HAVE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR THE FUEL LINE ONLINE AND AT O'REILLY BUT THAT PART DOESN'T EXIST ANYWHERE. I HAVE CALLED OLDSMOBILE AND THE PHONE RECORDING SAYS THAT MY CAR HAD 3 OPEN RECALLS. WHEN I TALK TO A PERSON THEY TOLD ME NO THOSE RECALLS WERE CLOSED ON MY CAR. BUT FOR ONE SPECIFIC RECALL IT DESCRIBES MY EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE NON EXISTENT PART THAT IS CRACKED ON MY CAR. THAT PART ALSO HAS A DATE FOR BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. I'VE TALKED TO THE GM DEALER NEAR WHERE I LIVE AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THE SAME THING THAT THOSE RECALLS ARE CLOSED. NOW CLOSED AND REPAIRED HAVE 2 DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS I THOUGHT. THE FUEL LINE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M A SINGLE MOM THAT DRIVES MY KIDS AROUND. WHAT IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN AND THAT CRACK IN MY FUEL LINE STARTING LEAKING FUEL ON MY ENGINE. BUT BECAUSE OLDSMOBILE AND GM SAY ITS BEEN CLOSED AND THEY CAN'T HELP ME THAT I'M SUPPOSE TO WAIT UNTIL MY CAR BLOWS UP ONE OF THESE DAYS WITH ME AND MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND WE ALL DIE? I AM SO UNBELIEVABLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS ISSUE THAT I WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO NOT SEE THIS RECALL REPAIR ON MY CAR. ITS OBVIOUS A SAFETY CONCERN. AS WELL AS THE OTHER RECALLS THAT HAVE BEEN CLOSED AND NOT REPAIRS. ONE FOR AN AIRBAG AND ANOTHER FOR THE PCM REPROGRAMMED AT IGNITION COIL.
