SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHTS FLICKER OR BLINK LIKE FLASHERS WHILE DRIVING. FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM SEEMS NOT TO BE GETTING NECESSARY FUEL AT ALL TIMES. PAINT HAS BEEN PEELING ON THE MOLDING AND I HAVE BEEN NOTICING SPOTS IN THE PAINT MORE AND MORE EVERY WEEK. HAD PROBLEM WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM MADE LOUD NOISES AND MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING. TRANSMISSION SHUT DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE WAS DRIVING 70MPH THEN ALLL OF A SUDDEN IT SHUT DOWN TO 35MPH AND IT WOULDN'T GO ANY FASTER. AIR CONDITION VENTS ARE STUCK IN CLOSE POSITION AND SOME OF THEM ARE NOT GETTING AIR THROUGH THEM AT ALL.

#727268August 9, 2000
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
LEFT FRONT SEAT BELT DOES NOT ALWAYS RETRACT WHEN UNCOUPLED. APPERAS THAT THE RETRACTION SPRING MAY NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH TENSION TO ENABLE THE SEAT BELT TO ALWAYS RETRACT. ALSO, THE SEAT BELT ITSELF TWISTS AND FOLDS DURING RETRACTION WHICH MAY BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID# 00V057000

#726681August 4, 2000
EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I THINK THE MANUFACTURE FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE INSIDE AIR CIRCULATION SWITCH FOR THE A/C ON THE 1995 AURORA, THE 97 AND UP MODELS ALL HAVE THAT INSIDE AIR CIRCULATION SWITH, THAT MEANS THAT THE DRIVER FOR THE 95 MODEL HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO RECEIVE OUTSIDE AIR WHICH INCLUDES FUMES, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ALLERGIC TO EXHAUST FUMES AND COULD BECOME DEADLY FOR THEM, PLUS IT DOESN'T COOL AS GOOD WITH OUTSIDE AIR, WHICH COST MORE FUEL AND MAKES THE SYSTEM WORK HARDER C CI. *AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
MY FRONT PASS DOOR LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE OPENNED UNTIL THE SERVICE DEPT TOOK THE INSIDE DOOR PANEL OFF. I ASKED THEM WHAT WOULD I DO IN AN ACCIDENT ? I PAID TO REPLACE PART THAT FAILED. CALLED OLDS EDGE HOT LINE AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CONCERNED. AFTER MORE THOUGHT, I PAID TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE REPLACED. THAT HAPPENED IN 1997 BUT SINCE I'M AWAY FROM HOME, I DON'T HAVE TRUE MILEAGE AND DATES OF OCCURRENCES. I FEEL THIS IS AS SERIOUS FAILURES AS THE BACK SEAT BELTS NOT WORKING NHTSA 00V057000. IMAGINE YOURSELF IN A CAR IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOOR LOCKS. FORTUNATELY, NOW I KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO ME. IT'S SCARY THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENS. EVEN THE MECHANICS AT OLDS WERE PUZZLED BY IT. LAST MONTH, MY DRIVER DOOR STARTED LOCKING, AND IT LOCKED AGAIN YESTERDAY. SINCE I'M AWAY FROM HOME, I HAVEN'T GOT IT REPAIRED AGAIN. BELIEVE ME THIS IS VERY SERIOUS SINCE THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS AND MY DRIVING IS ALMOST 100% EXPRESSWAY DRIVING. *AK
