Oldsmobile Aurora Years to Avoid, Problems & Recalls

Which Oldsmobile Aurora years should you avoid?

Going by 786 owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the Oldsmobile Aurora years to avoid are 1995.

1995321 complaints, 3.2× a typical Aurora year, most often about the fuel system.

How this is worked out: each year is compared with a typical year of the same model, which takes most of the difference in sales out of it, and its share of serious failures is compared with every other car of the same model year, because older cars were complained about differently. A year needs 25 complaints to be judged at all. Complaints are unverified owner reports. Full method →
