ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY 2001 AROURA WAS PURCHASED IN NOV. OF 2002 AND WAS PUT IN THE SHOP ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED IT. LEXUS OF TULSA SOLD US THE CAR. THE VEHICLE HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET AND IT WAS ALREADY BLOWN WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR. 2YEARS LATER THE HEAD GASKET IS BLOWN AGAIN. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE GASKET WAS GOING TO KEEP BLOWING UNTIL WE GET ANOTHER MOTOR AND THAT THE MOTOR HAS SOME INTERNAL DAMAGE THAT CAME FROM THE FACTORY WHERE THE MOTOR WAS BUILT IN. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE VALVE HAD SOME COMBULSTION BUILT UP IN THERE AND WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FACTORY. THE CAR WOULD JUST START RUNNING HOT AND ALSO IT WOULD SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE PANEL LIGHTS WOULD SAY STOP ENGINE. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. *JB

STEERING
STEERING FAILED WHILE TURNING LEFT ON 1999 OLDS AURORA WITH 34,000 MILES WITH NO INDICATION OF A STEERING PROBLEM BEFORE THE FAILURE. TURNING RIGHT WAS FINE, BUT THE CAR COULD NOT MAKE ANY LEFT TURN UNLESS IT WAS ONLY A MINOR MOVEMENT TO THE LEFT WHILE TRAVELING AT LESS THAN 10 MPH. GM PAID FOR 50% OF REPAIRS, BUT A FAILURE LIKE THIS WITH NO WARNING NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. MY WIFE WAS USING THE CAR AND THE STEERING FAILED WHILE SHE WAS PARKING IT. IF THE FAILURE HAD HAPPENED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING THE CAR I CAN GUARANTEE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE WHEN THE STEERING FAILS, INSTANTLY, YOU CAN'T MAKE A LEFT TURN UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
ON JULY 21, 2004, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN MY 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA, I SMELLED GASOLINE FUMES. I QUICKLY STOPPED MY VEHICLE AND TURNED IT OFF. FUEL WAS DUMPING FROM THE ENGINE ONTO THE ROAD. I IMMEDIATELY MOVED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. A FEW MINUTES LATER I RETURNED AND OPENED THE HOOD. THE FUEL HAD BEEN SPRAYING FROM ONE OF THE NYLON FUEL LINES THAT RUN IN SERIAL BETWEEN EACH OF THE FUEL INJECTORS. I LOST APPROXIMATELY 4 GALLONS OF GASOLINE DURING THIS SHORT DRIVE OF ABOUT 1/2 MILE. I WAS GRATEFUL AND SURPRISED THAT THE CAR HADN'T CAUGHT FIRE OR EXPLODED SINCE SO MUCH FUEL WAS LOST. GM INFORMS ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS YET THEY APPARENTLY HAVE A SIMILIAR PROBLEM WITH ONE OF THEIR CHEVY VEHICLES THAT DOES HAVE A RECALL IN EFFECT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
I OWN A 1999 OLDSMOBILE AURORA AND HAVE NOTICED THE PASSENGER FLOOR ACCUMULATING LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. WHEN I REMOVED THE REAR SEAT ( WHICH IS WHERE THE BATTERY AND OTHER ELECTRICIAL WIRES ARE LOCATED ) THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT IS FULL OF WATER, ALONG WITH THE REAR FLOOR BOARD. IT HAS NOT RAINED SO I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE WATER HAS COME FROM OR HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN THERE. I CLEANED THE WATER OUT, BUT IT HAS SINCE COME BACK IN A VERY RAPID TIME FRAME. IF YOU COULD PLEASE CONTACT ME IT WOULD BE GREAT.. OLDSMOBILE HAS NO INFORMATION ON THIS FOR ME.*AK
