  THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM, OR THE MATERIAL FROM WHICH IT MADE FROM IS OF QUESTIONABLE INTEGRITY. I HAD A RETURN FUEL LINE WITH A CRACK THAT NEEDED REPAIR. TWO MONTHS DOWN THE LINE MY FUEL RAIL CRACKED. ON BOTH OCCASIONS I CAN NOT BELIEVE THERE WAS NOT A FIRE. GM AT THIS POINT DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT OR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND ONLY HAS 55,875 MILES TO DATE. GM'S RESPONSE IS IT IS NORMAL MAINTENANCE REPAIR AND THERE WILLING TO SELL ME A NEW CAR WITH A FACTORY WARRANTY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE TO ALL AURORA'S OR ANY GM PRODUCT WITH THE SAME FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM ON THE ROAD. KEVIN ELSWICK, CONCERNED CONSUMER. TO DATE, AWAITING FOR RETURN RESPONSE FROM GM. *LA

  1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA, GM'S REAL WINNER HERE!!! WHERE DO I START? WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH OVER HEATING PROBLEMS, AND HAVE CHANGED WATER PUMPS, RADIATOR, RADIATOR FLUSHES, THERMOSTATS, A HANDFUL OF ALTERNATORS, TWICE THE A/C SEIZED, MAJOR VIBRATION AT HIGH SPEEDS AND STOPPING, CAUSED? OVER HEATED DISK BRAKES! ITS A REALLY NICE CAR; WE LOVE IT, BUT JUST CAN'T SEE THE END TO THIS FORESEEING WASTE OF CASH. OUR FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE ALL POUND THIS CAR AROUND, CAN'T BEAR GIVING IT UP, ESPECIALLY AFTER INVESTING SO MUCH. SHIFTING IN REVERSE CAN HAVE YOU SLAPPING IT IN DRIVE SEEING THE CHIROPRACTOR FROM THE SUDDEN JOLT. PROBLEMS WITH STEERING WHEEL, IS LOOSE AS A GOOSE, LEAKING FLUIDS FROM UNKNOWN PLACES THAT SEEM TO DISAPPEAR WHEN GETTING THEM SERVICED? ENGINE MOUNTS IN NEED OF A 2ND REPLACEMENT OVERHEATING IS AN ERRATIC PROBLEM, ALONG WITH THE IRREGULAR IDLES. THESE ISSUES ARE ALL STEMMED FROM THE REALLY BAD DESIGN PLANS, GIVING US THESE PROBLEMS THAT NEVER REALLY GET FIXED. THE CAUSE, MAJOR INTERNAL OVERHEATING! PROMOTING MASSIVE MELT DOWN ON OUR PRECIOUS BABY NORTHSTAR MAKES ONE EXPENSIVE ALUMINUM PAPER WEIGHT. NO MECHANIC SHOP WILL FIX OUR ENGINES, WHY? LIABILITY, THE BAD DESIGN HAS PROVEN THIS (IT DOES NOT WORK!). THE POOR DESIGN WAS EVIDENT TO GM WAY BEFORE THE FACTORY STARTED THROWING THEM TOGETHER. THEY JUST ADDED BANDAIDS ON THE MOST CRUCIAL ASPECT THEY NEEDED FURTHER DEVELOPMENT; THESE LOW ATTRIBUTES HAVE LEFT US SHORT CHANGED HOLDING A BAG OF SAFETY AND FINANCIAL BURDENS. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS NHTSA ODI NUMBERS; 8010002,10003769,10028708,1005387, 10057594,10063987,10069013,10069679,10070352,10071397,10094331, 10094992,10101048,10120403,10121459. THIS IS JUST A FRACTION OF THE PROBLEMS, THAT??S WHY A MECHANIC WILL NOT TOUCH YOUR ENGINE, BUT WILL ONLY EXCHANGE FOR A BRAND NEW ONE COST OF AROUND $8,000.00, AND OLDSMOBILE, WELL AS YOU KNOW. BAILING OUT. THANKS GM FOR THE NICE KICK IN THE PANTS. *JB

• 11/21/2003· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  I HAVE A 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA,WITH A 4.0 L GAS ENGINE. THE FUEL RAIL STARTED TO LEAK AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FIRE. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR WAS OVER $700.00. I FEEL GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD CONTACT ALL OWNERS WITH VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS ENGINE. THEY SHOULD CHECK AND REPAIR ALL DETECTIVE FUEL RAILS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. *LA

• 11/20/2003· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  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
