  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

  I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE GM#04014 NHTSA #04V110000 FROM GM SEPT. 2004. SEPT. 14, 2004 SHOTTENKIRK, FORT MADISON, IA DID INSPECTION FOR RECALL-"NO REPLACEMENT REQUIRED". JUNE 2005 MYSELF/PASSENGERS (ONE WAS 2) WERE OVERCOME WITH FUEL FUMES. ELSTON AUTO REPAIR REPLACED THE FUEL REGULATOR AND "PATCHED" THE FUEL LINE-FUEL WAS SHOOTING OUT. TOTAL PAID $195.83. I FOUND ORIGINAL GM RECALL NOTICE AND 9/14/04 INVOICE FROM SHOTTENKIRK. 10/11/05 CALLED THE GM#800-630-6537, SPOKE WITH MICHELLE GONZALES. GAVE HER THE INFORMATION FROM MY RECALL NOTICE AND THE SHOTTENKIRK INVOICE. SHE RESPONDED WITH - THIS AUTOMOBILE WAS NEVER UNDER ANY RECALL NOR DOES IT HAVE ANY "OPEN" RECALLS. SHE REPLIED THAT I MUST HAVE GOTTEN A HOLD OF SOMEONE ELSE'S RECALL NOTICE OR IN SOME OTHER MANNER ATTAINED SUCH A DOCUMENT. THE GM NOTICE HAD MY VIN#, SHOTTENKIRK HAD DONE THE INSPECTION. SHE STATED THAT SHE HAD CONTACTED BRENT AT SHOTTENKIRK, IF THEY HAD DONE THE INSPECTION IT WAS OUT OF COURTESY OR BY MISTAKE. I HAVE ALL ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION FROM GM AND SHOTTENKIRK. WHY HAS THE GM REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THIS CAMPAIGN AND INFERRED THAT I HAD SOMEHOW "MANUFACTURED" THE RECALL PAPERWORK. WHY DOES GM RECORDS INDICATE NO "OPEN" RECALLS? ARE RECALLS CLOSED AFTER AN INSPECTION IS FILED OR ONLY AFTER THE WORK IS COMPLETED? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO REIMBURSED SHOTTENKIRK FOR THE INSPECTION FEE, SINCE ACCORDING TO GM & SHOTTENKIRK THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL. I CONTACTED THE NHTSA (MARTINA) AND VERIFIED THAT THIS VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN CAMPAIGN#04V110000. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE OLDSMOBILE DEALER HAS NOT FALSELY IDENTIFIED THIS AUTOMOBILE AS BEING REPAIRED UNDER THIS RECALL. AT THIS TIME I REQUEST THAT I BE REIMBURSED MY REPAIRS OF $195.93 AND GET MY CAR REPAIRED TO COMPLY WITH RECALL CAMPAIGN #04V110000 GM#04014B AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE. *JB
