1999 Oldsmobile Aurora

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 THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE WHEN THE STEERING FAILS, INSTANTLY, YOU CAN'T MAKE A LEFT TURN UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. *JB

I OWN A 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. IT HAS NOT RAINED SO I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE WATER HAS COME FROM OR HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN THERE. 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.*AK

WHILE DRIVING DURING THE DAY/NIGHT HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS FLICKERED INTERMITTENTLY. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK HEADLIGHTS, PARKING LIGHT AND STOP LIGHT ALSO FLASHED INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER REPLACED THE SWITCH DUE TO INTERNAL FAILURE ON HEAD LAMP SWITCH, AND MANUFACTURER HASN'T ACKNOWLEDGED THE SAFETY OR PRODUCT QUALITY PROBLEM ON THE VEHICLE. *LA

THERE IS ALSO TIMES WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES WHEN TURNING THAT IT VIBRATES IN THE PEDAL AND STEERING COLUMN, ALSO I HAVE BEEN NOTICING WATER UNDER PASSENGER FRONT SEAT IN WHICH THIS IS RUINING MY CARPET AND LEATHER SEATS NOT TO MENTION THE ELECTRIC WIRING SYSTEM UNDER THE SEAT. I CAN GIVE YOU THE VIN.# [XXX], SO YOU CAN PULL INFO ON CAR AND LET ME KNOW WHAT INFO AND OUTSTANDING RECALLS THERE ARE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK UPDATED 07/30/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

JACK SUPPLIES AS ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT FAILED TO LIFT THE AUTO IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHICH REQUIRED THE TIRE TO BE CHANGED. THE JACK ACTUALLY BUCKELED IN THE EFFORT TO RAISE THE AUTO. THERE WAS NO LATERAL MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS QUITE LUCKY THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT FALL ON ME OR ON ITS WHEEL ASSEMBLY. HAS ANYONE LOOKED AT THIS EQUIPMENT. IT IS QUITE MINIMAL AND UNSAFE. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

WHILE BRAKING A VIBRATION WAS FELT IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER TURNED THE ROTORS AND THE PROBLEM SUBSIDED FOR A WHILE. THE VIBRATION RETURNED AFTER ABOUT 5000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THE CONSUMER LEARNED OF A RECALL 99V-081 RELATED TO INCORRECT BRAKE ROTORS AND BELIEVES HIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *AK *NLM
