POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON...RPM'S RANDOMLY GO UP AND DOWN CAUSING VEHICLE TO SURGE AND/OR STALL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ALSO, WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED ROUGHLY AND NOW WILL CAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR TO ACCELETRATE BEYOND 40 M.P.H. TOOK CAR IN FOR SERVICE TWICE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY COMPLAINING ABOUT JERK IN TRANSMISSION, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED THE FIRST, NOW 37,000 MILES LATER OUT OF WARRANTY AND COMPLETE FAILURE . COMPANY ADVERTISERS CAR WILL NOT NEED TUNEUP UNTIL 100,000 MILES, I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ONLY 60K MILES AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT TUNED UP TWICE AT $600+ A POP. AT THAT POINT CAR WAS STALLING NOT DELIVERING THE POWER THAT IT USUALLY DOES.*AK

#10064010March 27, 2004
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE SHIFT SOLENOIDS ON ALL THE 1995 AURORA AND ABOVE GO BAD WHILE DRIVING. IM MY CASE I WAS GOING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR SHIFTED IN SECOND GEAR AND WAS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE IN ADDITION TO THE TERROR I WENT THRU WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THERE WAS ALSO NO WHERE TO PULL OVER AS IT HAPPENED ON THE BRIDGE. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND WRECKED.THOSE ARE 2 SHIFT SELENOIDS THAT ARE LOCATED INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, THAT THE DEALER HAD TO REMOVE THE PAN TO GET TO IT. USUALLY ONE GOES BAD BUT THEY REPLACE BOTH SINCE THEY ALREADY HAVE THE PAN OPEN. IT TAKES ABOUT LESS THAN A HALF AN HOUR TO REPLACE. THE PARTS ARE SUPPOSEDLY MADE OUT OF PLASTIC AND OLDSMOBILE IS VERY AWARE OF THIS AND THEY KNOW HOW DANGEROUS IT IS. THEY GET THOUSANDS OF AURORAS IN THEIR SHOP FOR THAT PROBLEM. I BELONG TO EDMUNDS.COM AND I MUST'VE READ AT LEAST 50+ COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS ALWAYS OCCURRS AS SOMEONE IS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR SHIFTS IN SECOND GEAR WITHOUT WARNING AND NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. A FEW PEOPLE STATED THAT THEY ALMOST WRECKED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA. IN JANUARY 2004 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE CAR SHIFTED INTO 2ND GEAR. THIS ABRUBT CHANGE IN GEARS/RPM/ENGINE NOISE NEARLY CAUSED ME TO GET IN A ACCIDENT. THE SHIFT SOLENOID INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, AND THE CAR DEFAULTED TO 2ND GEAR. ITS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND THERE WAS ACTUALLY A DEALER UPDATE IN 96 OR 1997 FROM GM, WHO BASICALLY ADMITTED A DESIGN FLAW. THIS FLAW ALOWED A FILTER TO SLIDE IN AND OUT OF PLACE CONSTANTLY SMACKING THE SHIFT SOLENIOD WHICH EVENTUALLY CASUED IT TO SNAP. THE UPDATE WAS A L SHAPED BAR TO HOLD THE FILTER IN PLACE. THIS ALSO COST ME ABOUT $400 TO FIX. IF GM RELIEZED THIS SAFTEY FLAW IN ALL OF THERE OLDSMOBILE AURORA'S UP TO 97, AND CADILLACS I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BECOME A RECALL, THIS TYPE OF FALIURE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT. *AK

FUEL LEAK DEVELOPED IN MY 95 AURORA. FUEL WAS SPRAYING ON THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED STRONG ODORS IN THE GARAGE AND OPEN AIR. IT WAS FIXED BY A GARAGE CLOSE TO WORK. THEN THE FUEL RAIL FAILED AGAIN, THREE MONTHS LATER IN A DIFFERENT PLACE, AND WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT MY COST. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA THAT HAD THE PLASTIC FUEL RAIL CRACKED. THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT IN AND HAVE THE WHOLE RAIL REPLACED. THE ESTIMATE ON THE REPLACEMENT WAS: $295.00 FOR THE FUEL RAIL AND ABOUT $175.00 FOR LABOR. I ENDED UP FIXING THE PROBLEM WITH SOME 5/8 FUEL LINE THAT I PURCHASED FOR AROUND $4.00. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS IN THE PAST YEAR WITH IT LEAKING, BUT I AM SCARED THAT THE OTHER PLASTIC TUBES COULD BREAK AT ANY TIME. A FRIEND JUST E-MAILED ME ABOUT THE REPORT YOU HAD ON MSNBC AND I SAW WHERE YOU REPORTED 123 CASES. I WOULD THINK THAT NUMBER WILL GROW.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS
I AM THE OWNER OF A 1995 OLDS AURORA. I HAVE HAD TWO FUEL RAIL LEAKS IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. A GM RECALL WAS ANNNOUNCED LAST WEEK. THE FIRST LEAK WAS ON THE FUEL RAIL TO THE MOTOR FROM THE FIREWALL. THAT LINE WAS REPLACED WITH A RUBBER FUEL INJECTOR GAS LINE. THE SECOND LEAK WAS AN INCH LONG CRACK ON ONE OF THE NYLON JUMPER TUBES BETWEEN TWO INJUECTORS. THIS SECOND LEAK SPRAYED THE TOP OF THE MOTOR WITH GAS. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT DIDN'T CATCH FIRE. THE GOOD LORD WAS WITH ME COMING HOME FROM WORK. I REPLACED THAT JUMPER WITH THE RUBBER FUEL LINE ALSO. NOW I FEAR DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE TALKED TO THE OLDS REPS AND THEY INDICATE I SHOULD HAVE THE FUEL RAIL REPLACED. BUT THE REPLACEMENT IS THE IDENTICAL TYPE FUEL RAIL. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE WITH DEFECTIVE AT MY EXPENSE! THE GM RECALL IS 04014 AND IT INDICATES THAT IT MAY BE MAY BEFORE A FIX IS AVAILABLE. I NEED ADVISE ON HOW TO PROCEED.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
MAY OF 2003 THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS FROM ENGINE ON MY 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA. I TOOK MY AUTOMOBILE TO MY MECHANIC. HE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A CRACK IN THE FUEL RAIL. HE WAS TOLD BY THE PARTS SALESMAN AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE FUEL RAIL FAILING. HE ORDERED A NEW ONE THAT WAS INSTALLED BY MY MECHANIC. I NOW SEE THAT YOU HAVE ISSUE A RECALL 04V110000 ON MARCH 03, 2004 IT WOULD DEFINITELY SEEM THAT THE PROBLEM IS WIDE SPREAD AND I WAS LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T HAVE A FIRE. *JB
