A/c compressor malfunctioned.
Air conditioner emits a foul odor, made driver sick.
I think the manufacture forgot to include the inside air circulation switch for the a/c on the 1995 aurora, the 97 and up models all have that inside air circulation swith, that means that the driver for the 95 model has no choice but to receive outside air which includes fumes, a lot of people are allergic to exhaust fumes and could become deadly for them, plus it doesn't cool as good with outside air, which cost more fuel and makes the system work harder c ci.

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 (computer) was causing the problem and would have to be replaced. After getting the complete car history, i found that it has been an on going problem that gm has not solved. The current dealer was just going to replace the computer until i advised him he needs to check alternator since it appears from past experience it is involved in taking out the computers.

Major fuel leak on top of my engine from the fuel delivery system.i am replacing this componet today...my mechanic was visible shaken when he saw the gushing of gasoline from the delivery system.he said i would have a fire anytime...bad system.
A fuel line under the hood was spraying gasoline. It was not from a fitting.it was spraying from a hole in the plastic fuel line tubbing.for a plastic fuel line to begin spraying gasoline for no apparent reason is bizzare.i feel oldsmobile should be aware of this and should pay for parts and labor for this defect.
Fuel line is leaking fluid intoengine.
Fuel rail plastic connector sprung fuel leak; spraying fuel over hot engine; could have caused fire and explosion; lucky it did not.i see there are a number of complaints for this problem, which should never happen.what will manufacturer do for reimbursement of repair expenses?

Re: nhtsa:04v110000- 1995 oldsmobile aurorai have had a fuel rail failure in this vehicle and gm states that the recall notice only applies to 1996-1997 vehicles. Does this mean that because this problem started and was observed in the 1995 models, that those of us with the vehicles that the problem was initially observed in can just plain go to hell and suffer the loss of a vehicle or worse still be consumed in a fire started by this defect and be politely told, "sorry, this only applies to the vehicles sent a recall notice".i believe that your recall id 04v110000 should apply to all vehicles affected, not just those gm has sent notices. It was sent to 1995 cadillac owners which has the same engine as the 1995 aurora, theaurora is 4.0 litre and the cadillac 4.6 litres - identical engines but a smaller displacement. Same configuration and fuel rail components.i was indeed very fortunate that neither a fire or otherserious event happened and only wish that gm would at leastacknowledge the fact that this failure was the result of the failure of the part involved in the following attachment, and be compensated for the repair of said component.
The vehicle experienced the same problem and consequences as described in the fuel rail tubing recall 04v110000, but the vehicle identification number was not included in the recall.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Fuel injection system has developed pin holes which is allowing fuel to leak ontoengine. Please give any further details.
The fuel rail is composed of plastic sections of tubing connecting the fuel injectors.these sections develop splits allowing fuel to spray all over the engine. This has happened twice in the past year.both times i replaced the bad sections with rubber hose and clamps.i believe that if this problem is not addressed every one of these cars will develop the problem at some point in time, possibly resulting in catastrophic fires.
Headlights flicker or blink like flashers while driving. Fuel injection system seems not to be getting necessary fuel at all times. Paint has been peeling on the molding and i have been noticing spots in the paint more and more every week. Had problem with anti-lock braking system made loud noises and malfunctioned while driving. Transmission shut down on the interstate was driving 70mph then alll of a sudden it shut down to 35mph and it wouldn't go any faster. Air condition vents are stuck in close position and some of them are not getting air through them at all.
Therewas a strong smell of fuel inside of vehicle. Took vehicle to mechanic, and mechanic indicated fuelleaking from fuel rail which was too close to spark plugs, could easily start fire.
Failure of computer which controls fuel injection.problem is most noticeable at low speeds, as when approaching other autos at a traffic light or very slow speed driving.when pressure is released from accelerator pedal the fuel controller increases fuel flow for 0.3 to 1.0 second then slowlyreduces flow to normal idle speed.engine speed increases in this process (with transmission shifted into nuetral to observe it) 500 to 1500 rpm.the problem seems to be worse at elevated ambient temperatures. (above 80 degrees, f.)this is a hazardous condition and several times rear-end collisions have been narrowly averted.communication with oldsmobile's customer service office have been met with rudeness and the plainly stated position that they are not interested in addressing problems with vehicles out of warranty or owned by aftermarketowners.
Fuel rail assembly plastic hose developed a high pressure fuel leak, spraying gasoline on top of engine.

Consumer's vehicle experiencedthe same defect as mentioned in nhtsa recall 04v110000 concerning fuel rail tubing. Dealership indicatedthat consumer's vehicle wasnot included in the recalldue tovin.
Rail injector tubing fractured three (3) times. First time my wife drove it 17 miles at 60 mph not understanding what was going on. Luckily the car did not catch fire, but it took weeks to get the smell of gasoline out of the car and the ventilation system. Had someone drove by and flipped out a cigarette or a small electrical arc in the engine compartment, i have no doubt it would have went off like a bomb. I caught the two (2) other fractured tubes by checking the engine before she drove it and when she returned home.finally, i had it replaced, at a cost of around $400, but with no guarantee that the same thing would not happen again. Oldsmobile engine engineering really fumbled the ball on this design of fuel delivery in the engine compartment, plastic tubing to carry fuel to the injectors (at around 50 psi) in a hot engine compartment. Sad part is that the new replacement part was made out of the same material. You ask the questions below; was there a fire? was there a crash? property damage? reported to police?a rather ironic set of questions! had there been a fire at 60 mph, i'm sure a crash would have happened, property damage would be a given and the police would have been called. But for what purpose,the fractured plastic injector tubing (which created the whole mess) would have been consumed by the fire and everyone would be asking "what could have caused this?" i believe i have provided you with the answer to that last question. Sad part is that i see many of these oldsmobile aurora driving around all over the country, and unfortunately no one with the power to do so, like yourself, feel compelled to let the american consumers know that this very dangerous situation exist and make oldsmobile admit it has a life threatening problem in it's fuel delivery system.larry burnside.*la
The heat shrink fuel lines connecting the fuel injectors developed a pin hole leak and sprayed fuel into the engine compartment.i replaced the bad section of the fuel rail line the first time at 80,000 miles.the second time happened yesterday with a pin hole leak in another section of the heat shrink tubing of the fuel rail connecting the injectors.it again sprayed fuel into the engine compartment until i smelled the gas inside the car.these defects seem to me to be very dangerous, and since it has happened twice to me, i think the fuel line material is defective and needs to be recalled.i

We own a 1995 oldsmobile aurora. On june 9th our car was hauled to walker jones in waycross georgia because it had stalled, was smoking from under hood, had gas in the oil . We had been told that this car was recalled due to nylon tubing could crack and possibly cause a fire. When we picked the car up, we were charged for this recall....$ 378.62. First we were told it was a recall and there would be no charges. Then they changed it to nope all models but yours is under the recall after it was repaired. Why are all auroras under this recall 1996-1997 models recalled and not the 1995's? i mean it had the same problem as the other models. Could you please answer my concerns? thank you.danette [email protected].
Recall 04v110000 concerning fuel lineleak. Dealershipdid not resolve the problem because the vin was not included.
Major fuel leak on top of my engine from the fuel delivery system.i am replacing this componet today...my mechanic was visible shaken when he saw the gushing of gasoline from the delivery system.he said i would have a fire anytime...bad system.
A gas leak developed in the engine compartment due to a defective fuel injector rail assembly, which had a crack in it.two months later, the fuel line developed another leak, this time spraying gas all over the engine, creating an extreme fire hazzard.i did have both of these items fixed before there was an actual fire, at great expense.($578 the first time and $731 the second time).*la
A narrow strem of fuel was spraying from one of the plastic fuel lines under the hood causing fuel odor inside the vehicle.nlm
While having my oil changed it was pointed out that my fuel line was spraying fuel all over the engine compartment.very small pin hole but a steady stream of fuel.upon further investigation found that the injector line was spraying fuel also.i never paid attention before but i can't believe that gm would use plastic for a fuel line anyway maybe this is standard i'm no mechanic but at what gm wants for the parts and then to have them put on maybe i should be.of course gm is the only place you can buy the fuel parts too imagine that!well hopefully i'm not the only one having this problem and gm will do something about the defects.*la
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.
The windows stop driver side engine leaks oil slipps as it drives heats fast as temp goes up
During the recent flood in houston, some water got into my olds aurora. Now, once the doors are locked, they cannot be opened from the inside. The front doors can be opened from the outside if you have a key! this presents a very dangerous situation in which someone can literally become trapped inside the car. All locks should operate manually! the locks in my car worked well before the water seeped in. Now they will not open the doors at all!
Consumer stated the locks were inoperative.*jg

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 (computer) was causing the problem and would have to be replaced. After getting the complete car history, i found that it has been an on going problem that gm has not solved. The current dealer was just going to replace the computer until i advised him he needs to check alternator since it appears from past experience it is involved in taking out the computers.
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.
Recall 04v110000 concerningfuel rail tubing:while standing outside of the vehicle, the consumer smelled a strong odor of gasoline.

Vehical has been meticulously maintained solely by dealership, no one else has ever worked on vehical including oil changes. Vehical gave no indication of transmission problems prior to complete and total failure.
Seat belts/transmission/abs brakes/ starter failed. Also engine continuously overheated.
Transmission will only operate in reverse or second gear, drivers side window will not operate properly, numerous other problems.
Engine checklight keeps illuminating on the dashboard erratically. Whenvehicle is placed into gear its jerks very hard in a jump motion with the engine idlinghigh. Dealer has not been contacted.
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.
When shifting from park to reverse, the transmission engaged roughly causing damage to engine mounts and well as internal transmission damage. Car now shifts abruptly under normal conditions while not shifting on some occasions. Car taken to dealer and they informed me of pressure control switch failure requiring complete overhaul or raplacement of transmission as well as motor mount replacement. Aside from this most recent problem, the radiator, air compressor, air conditioning hoses and blower fan control module, alternator, ignition coil pack and lower crankcase gasket have all failed within the past seven months. Car currently has about 115,000 miles on it and probably won't live to accumulate many more. Total piece of crap from gm. (oh that sick gm feeling!).
While driving out of driveway heard a loud noise.took vehicle to dealer, and they found out thattransmission had cracked and could not be fixed. Instead, needed to be replaced. But, dealer told consumer that they could not be responsible for any warranty.please provide more information.

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 roughlyand 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.
Dealer says a known "chuggle" in transmissioncauses skipping at speeds between 45-65 mph.estimate to fix problem, $3000. Not covered under warranty.

Transmission was 'stuck' in 2nd gear due to the plastic components in the shift solenoids breaking. Cost $700.00 in repair bills and gm has a service bulletin out advising their locations of this problem and state that the replacement gm parts are now metal.
Engine check light; transmission slams into gear; dtc #76 indicates a pressure solenoid in transmission needs replacement.has happened six times.original transmission was replaced at 52,000 miles.no transmission shop wants to work on it because it may not fix the problem.has broken two engine mounts when putting transmission into reverse or drive due to the hardness of the operation.always happens when engine (car) is cold, is started, and placed into reverse.clear code and all is normal untill the next time.
Every fourth daytransmission startedmaking a loud clanking noise,and it was hard to shift gear. Gmc mechanicstatedpcm valvemalfunctioned.
I was driving home on the highway doing about 50-55 and the transmission just went into 2nd gear so i had to drive 20 miles at about 35 mph. Luckily there was no one around so there was no accident. At this point in time i haven't done anything to fix it except to have the codes read by a gm dealer and they didn't know what was wrong.i have found out that the shift solenoids are bad due to a failure in the plastic bracket that holds them in place.
While driving transmission, upon changing gears, slips. Took vehicle todealer. Dealer found thatcylinoids were bad, also ,there was a very strong smell, as if something was burning. Please provide any further information.

Taken to the dealer 4 times - "everything is fine"- car is still not shifting properly(not reliable)
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.
Transmission failure.
Dealer replaced the fuel rail at 50,000 miles/62,000 mile's and again at 66,000 miles, but problem was still occurring.(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

Five days after the purchase radiator cracked, car overheated, took to dealership, while speaking with the service manager, i explained the abs/traction control light came on and stays on as of 3rd day after purchase and that the engine was surging and back fire type noise from under the hood during acceleration and the car had no power. The front right fog light was not working the day of purchase and to replace it, i was charged for the replacement bulb. There was no buyers guide on this vehicle on the day i test drove the car nor on the day of purchase, i purchased a one year extended warranty through the dealership in the amount of $1295.00, and was told it covered everything. Service manager was contacted on the day i picked the car up after the radiator repair, and was told the other issues were not corrected at this time due to the warranty not having time to process. A few hours later, i called the service manager to report that the car was running hot , smoking from under the hood and he blew it off as coolant burnoff and if it continued to return it on the following monday, this was on a friday.was involved in accident that same friday night, yet it was minor and i drove the car home from the scene. I drove to a repair facility on monday, and there is when i was informed that the radiator repair from the previous week was not done and pictures were taken and i met with the sales manager and showed him the pictures, yet he still insisted the repair was done, i e-mailed the photos to gm and oldsmobile with my complaint. No response to this day 01/29/01.

I had just purchased my 1995 oldsmobile aurora in 8/2007 with under 60,000 miles and i noticed the card was slamming into gear and also not shifting correctly. Almost like transmission was slipping. I spent over 1200.00 in motor mount repairs and the issue cont. Until i pulled off from a 2waystop and my car would not mv from the middle of the street. I was almost hit by oncoming traffic on both sides of me and i had a small child strapped in a car seat in the back seat...at this point i took my car to hv the transmission rebuilt. The issue continued after this and i was told to replace the alternator. I did this and the issue stopped but i cont to hv electrical prob with the car like the windows not rolling down or seat not able to mv bk/frth. I was able to use the sunroof but this has stopped again recently and the issues with power have started again. It is beginning to get shifty and i am concerned to the point of anxiety when crossing intersections. Also i was told when i took my car to hv a tune up done i was told there was an electrical issue as the mechanic informed me he rmvd a fuse which seemed to be smoking. This had since been rplcd.

This is a 1995 oldsmobile aurora. I am the original owner. The car has less than 70k miles, has been garaged and has not been in any accidents. After driving in winter storms the car was always washed under the chassis in the car wash to remove salt.on 10/5/2006, as i was pulling out of the garage, the brake pedal felt totally soft and the car stopped with difficulty after pumping the brakes many times, etc. Our garage has a high slope into the street. I pulled the car slowly back into the garage and observed brake fluid on my driveway. I raised the car on jacks and i inspected the underbody. The brake fluid lines going towards the back wheels are heavily corroded and a spot was leaking heavily. I have owned several cars in the past and kept them for many years and high mileage but i never faced such a serious safety issue. Imagine if i was driving on the highway, at 65 miles/hour!

I was driving downthe road (about 40 mph) when the steering wheel dropped onto my lap. The drive shaft had broken. I took the car to dealership and they replaced it, costing me $639.00. This is something that should not have happened and could have caused a serious accident.

Center cup holders are to shallow, when i amdrinking a hot drink, the contents of the drink are spilled on to me when the container falls out of the holder. The result is driver/passenger getting burned by hot coffee. No matter the size of the container, the holder is to shallow.uncapped containers can not be used in the center cup holder without falling out onturns or curves.the center cup holder is useless since they are to shallow resulting in anything being placed in it being thrown out in turns/curves, causing driver to take eyes off the road and catch items spilling or falling.

Although the car is nearly 5 years old, it has very low mileage and in my opinion the cruise contol should last longer than 24,000 miles.
While driving with the cruise control set at 75 mph in wyoming, the car began an gradual increase in speed - the gas pedal was not touched.touching the brakes several times did not stop the speed increase.turning off the cruise control switch did not stop the increase.after had breaking and after reaching a speed of 90 mph, the uncontrolled acceleration finally stopped.after that we did not use the cruise control.fortunately, we were in the middle of wyoming with no traffic on the interstate, if we had been in city traffic we would most likely have crashed into someone.
