#708337July 7, 1999
WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS
WHEN THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES AND 12000 MILES,I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A RATTLING NOISE IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THEY REPORTED THAT ONE LUG: NUT WAS SHEARED OFF AND ANOTHER TWO WERE LOOSE. THIS WAS THEIR FINDINGS FOR BOTH SERVICE CALLS. THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION OTHER THAN POSSIBLE VANDALISM. I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE THE CASE AS THE CAR IS IN A GARGAGE AT NIGHT AND PARKED IN A SECURE AREA DURING THE DAY. I SUSPECT A SERIOUS DEFECT AND FEEL THIS COULD BE A LIFE THREATNING. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
THE CAR HAS A PRONOUNCED 'SHUDDER/VIBRATION' AT LOW SPEED (AROUND 25MPH). THE PROBLEM INTENSIFIES WHEN TURNING RIGHT, ESPECIALLY OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE ROTORS APPEAR TO BE WARPED AS THEY ALSO VIBRATE UNDER BRAKING, CAUSING THE SHUDDER TO AGAIN INTENSIFY. THE DEALER STATES THAT THIS IS A 'COMMON' PROBLEM WITH AURORA'S..? *AK

THE CONSUMER WAS WARMING THE VEHICLE UP, AND WHEN GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING ABOUT ONE MILE, THE CONSUMER STARTED FELLING LIGHTHEADED. PULLED OVER AND OPENED THE DOOR TO GET SOME AIR AND NOTICED THERE WERE VAPORS GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE. CAN'T DETERMINE WHERE THE SMELL IS COMING FROM. *AK
