VEHICLE IS PUMPING GAS ALL OVER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. *AK

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

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

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

ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE---APPARENTLY STARTED AS I APPROACHED MY HOME ---BURNED IN GARAGE---TOTAL LOSS OF CAR---GARAGE DAMAGED. *AK

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE SMOKE CAME FROM THE MOTOR WHICH RESULTED IN A FIRE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *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 RAIL RUPTURED ON MY 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA. GASOLINE EVERYWHERE. COST TO REPAIR WAS $516.09. REPAIR CENTER SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN A RUPTURE THIS BAD BEFORE THE FIRE. LUCKILY A FIRE DID NOT START.*AK

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

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

WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH STEERING WHEEL FELL INTO THE DRIVER'S LAP. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE, AND DROVE IT HOME. DRIVER WILL HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR. *AK

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

I OWN A 1995 OLDS AURORA, AND HAVE HAD FOR THE 2ND TIME A MAJOR FUEL RAIL LEAK DUE THE PLASTIC HOSES BECOMING BRITTLE. THIS TIME ALMOST CAUSED A FIRE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY OLDSMOBILE AND GM. THIS CAN COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE. THIS IS A VERY SEROIUS SITUATION.

GASOLINE IN MY 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA HAS BEEN SPRAYING OUT OF ONE OF THE FAILED FUEL LINES. *AK

DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL RAIL AT 50,000 MILES/62,000 MILE'S AND AGAIN AT 66,000 MILES, BUT PROBLEM WAS STILL OCCURRING. *AK (BLADDER LEAK, GAS LEAK, FLUID LEAK, FLUID COOLANT LEAK) THERE WAS A STRONG GAS SMELL, TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, THE ENGINE HESITATION AS IF IT WERE GOING TO BACKFIRE, OVERHEATING, BANGING NOISE WHEN THE GEARS WERE SHIFTED WHICH WAS AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE PER PCM. THE REG/FILTER AND THROTTLE SEALING WAS REPLACED. *SC

ON JANUARY 28, 2004 MY 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY. I HAD JUST LEFT THE CAR AFTER PULLING THE CAR TO THE TOP OF THE DRIVEWAY AND MY WIFE WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE CAR TO GO TO WORK WHEN SHE SAW A FLASH, THEN SMOKE. THE CAR SUBSEQUENTLY BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. FORTUNATELY WE WERE NOT INJURED. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY IS DECLARING THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS. MY SECOND CAR.... A 1997 SEVILLE STS...ALONG WITH THE AURORA IS MENTIONED IN A REPORT POSTED ON MSNBC ON NOV. 4TH. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS MY LOSS (DEDUCTIBLES), NOR ADDRESS THE LOOMING POTENTIAL FOR THE SAME TO OCCUR WITH THE SEVILLE (IVE REQUESTED AN INSPECTION / REPAIR OF THE FUEL RAIL.) I FIND GMS POSITION EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS REGARDING THIS INCIDENT. I ALSO HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ENTIRE PROGRESSION OF THE FIRE AND WILL MAKE THEM AVAILABLE TO YOU SHOULD YOU WANT THEM.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE VEHICLE WOULD BACK FIRE AND MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. ON ONE OCCASION THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL REGULATOR, BUT THE VEHICLE STILL DIDN'T RUN PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *NM

AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STARTED AND IDLING FOR 10 MINS, THE CONSUMER NOTICED A FLASH OF LIGHT FROM UNDER THE HOOD, THEN THE ENTIRE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CAUSE OR WHAT IGNITED THE FIRE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. *NM

MECHANIC WOULD NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO BE MOVED WHEN TAKEN IN FOR REPAIRS DUE TO A GAS LEAK ON A HOT ENGINE. *PH THE CONSUMER READ AN ARTICLE WHICH INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLES FUEL LINE.

PURCHASED AURORA USED, BUT HAD PROBLEMS FROM THE START. IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES BEFORE STARTING UP EACH TIME; GAS PEDAL SHIMMIES AND VIBRATES BETWEEN 65 & 70 MPH; COOLANT SYSTEM FAILURE; CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING; AND PAINT CHIPS OFF.

I AM HAVING CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH LOSING POWER BETWEEN 1500 AND 3000 RPMS AT ANY SPEED. THE CAR WILL SPUTTER AND JERK THEN ONCE OUT OF THE RANGE OF 3000 RPM THE CAR SEEMS TO REGAIN THE POWER THAT IT DIDN'T HAVE EARLIER. THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM HAS NEVER SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ONLY COME ON THREE TIMES THEN GONE OFF AGAIN NOT TO RETURN UNTIL MONTHS LATER. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM YET. BUT I AM AFRAID THAT ONE TIME I WILL BE TRYING TO GET ACROSS AN INTERSECTION AND I WILL LOSE POWER AND GET HIT.

12,808 MILES (2-29-96) SEAL, LOWER CRANKCASE REPLACED. 34,603 MILES (11-25-97) DIAGNOSE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS-REPLACE RADIO. 44,513 MILES (8-19-98) DIAGNOSE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, REPLACE ALTERNATOR CONTROLLER, PCM/VCM (COMPUTERS) 49,098 MILES (12-30-98) DIAGNOSE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, AGAIN REPLACE ALTERNATOR (ALTERNATOR IS CAUSING COMPUTERS TO FAIL) 63,420 MILES (3-1-2000)- I PURCHASE AT END OF MY PARTNER?S LEASE AND HE LEASED NEW AURORA-DEALER NEVER ADVISE HIM THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WOULD BE REOCCURRING. DEALER PREFORMED MAJOR 60,000 SERVICE AND INDICATED THE CARE WAS FINE. 65,777 MILES (7-9-2001). THE CAR BACKFIRED WHILE WIFE WAS CROSSING BUSY INTERSECTION AND WAS NOT VERY RESPONSIVE. I WAS JUST ABLE TO GET TO LOCAL GARAGE NEXT TO INTERSECTION TO TRY TO AT LEAST GET REPAIR IT ENOUGH TO DRIVE. I HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD REQUIRE MAJOR REPAIR SINCE IT HAD ONLY BEEN 2,357 SINCE IT HAD A COMPLETE MAJOR 60,000-MILE DEALER SERVICE. THE REPAIRS ($2,480) INCLUDED THE IGNITION MODULE, ECM (COMPUTER), ELECTRICAL BRAKE CONTROL MODULE (ABS SYSTEM), AND ALTERNATOR. THE DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED THE ALTERNATOR MALFUNCTION WAS DAMAGING THE ABOVE COMPONENTS. THIS IS THE THIRD ALTERNATOR IN 21,264 MILES ( AND SECOND EMC ). THERE IS A MANUFACTURE DESIGN PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURE APPEARS NOT TO BE ABLE TO FIX IT. 70.090 MILES (5-28-2003) THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE AND SHIFTS ROUGH DURING NORMAL DRIVING. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE ECM (COMPUT
