#749783August 3, 2001
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
A FUEL LINE UNDER THE HOOD WAS SPRAYING GASOLINE. IT WAS NOT FROM A FITTING. IT WAS SPRAYING FROM A HOLE IN THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE TUBBING. FOR A PLASTIC FUEL LINE TO BEGIN SPRAYING GASOLINE FOR NO APPARENT REASON IS BIZZARE. I FEEL OLDSMOBILE SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS AND SHOULD PAY FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR THIS DEFECT.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
THE FRONT-PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE PADS ARE WEARING UNEVENLY. THE OUTSIDE BRAKE PAD HAS WORN DOWN TO THE SQUEALER WHILE THE INSIDE BRAKE PAD SHOWS LITTLE WEAR. I HAVE CONTACTED THE OLDSMOBILE REPRESENTATIVE CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND HE HAS OPENED A CASE REPORT. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPEN AT 16000-17000 MILES IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SOLUTION AT THAT TIME WAS TO REBUILD THE CALIPER, REPLACE THE PADS AND TURN THE ROTORS. WHILE TALKING TO THE DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS CURRENTLY AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT IS AFFECTING OTHER MODELS AS WELL, WHICH HAS GM ENGINEERS SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS.*AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
DURING THE RECENT FLOOD IN HOUSTON, SOME WATER GOT INTO MY OLDS AURORA. NOW, ONCE THE DOORS ARE LOCKED, THEY CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. THE FRONT DOORS CAN BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE IF YOU HAVE A KEY! THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN WHICH SOMEONE CAN LITERALLY BECOME TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR. ALL LOCKS SHOULD OPERATE MANUALLY! THE LOCKS IN MY CAR WORKED WELL BEFORE THE WATER SEEPED IN. NOW THEY WILL NOT OPEN THE DOORS AT ALL!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY
THIS 1996 OLDSMOBILE AURORA HAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR TO FIX THE STARTER AND REPLACE THE BATTERY. THE BATTERY IS IN A CONTROL CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT WHICH IS UNDER THE SEAT AND ACCESS IS BY REMOVING THE ENTIRE CHAIR. THE STARTER RENDERS EVERTHING USELESS AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO ORDER. I AM JUST GLAD THAT THE STARTER AND BATTERY DID NOT BLOW UP WHILE IN TRANSIT OR LIVES AROUND IT. IT COULD HAVE BLOWN UP AND INJURES COULD HAVE BEEN SUSTAINED.
