I owna 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.

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.

When the brake pedal is released, the turn signal relay (or at least something that sounds exactly like it) energizes and de-energizes (making a 'blinker' sound) at a rate 2x or 3x the normal turn signal rate.the turn signal indicators (green arrows on the dash) do not illuminate.about 90% of the time it only happens once per time the brake pedal is released.about 7% of the time it continues for 2 to 5 seconds, and then stops by itself.about 3% of the time it continues until the brake is pressed again, or the turn signal switch is activated.this does not happen every time the brake pedal is pushed.it happens about 50% of the time when the car is first started in the morning (i hold the brake pedal down when starting the car).once driving, the frequency of occurences decreases as the car "warms up".

Dear sir:i have a 1999 oldsmobile aurora that i purchased new, with a delivery date of 09/22/1999.the car is used primarily by my wife with approximately 78,000 miles on the odometer.we have kept the car up and now find a very expensive repair that we feel is neither of our doing nor a normal ware item.in the past two (2) year the steering column has become loose internally.today at the dealership, the service writer says the steering column needs to be removed to tighten the three (3) bolts that holds the column assembly together costing $540.00.my wife is having other items worked on today at the dealership, but is very reluctant to perform the steering column work because she believes, as i do, that this repair should be a safety item gm should pay for.we understand there have been other cars with the same problem, but there has not been any recall notice.under the present recall atmosphere, i am asking that gm repair the steering column as soon as possible for safety reasons.if there is a failure of the steering column it could result in damage and injury.as a follow-up to the statement above, today i have just finished speaking to an oldsmoble customer representative and have been told gm will not pay for the repair due to the age of the car.
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 therewould have been an accident because when the steering fails, instantly, you can't make a left turn under normal driving conditions.
Power steering looses power at low speeds.

1999 oldsmobile aurora aluminum rims leak air. They have leaked air since new.
Last year i took my 1999 aurora in to tire dealer due to very slow leak in tire.the tire dealer said the slow leak was common in gm vehicles with aluminum rims.they said the problem is due to aluminum oxide corrosion between the rim and tire bead. 1-2 times per month the tires look low and i have to fill them.today i finally took the car in to the tire dealer again and they said the only permanent solution is to replace the rims.the car only has 70,000 miles on it.
