  Air pump/drive shaft problems - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By beth - October 26 - 1:26 am

  Air pump problems at 50,000 miles and again at 75,000. drive shaft replace around 30,000 and again around 35,000 2 electric motors on rear windows, which are rarely used front end problems around 50,000 GM has reimbursed me for some of the work, but air pump is acting up again at 80,000 poor design. I love the looks and the handling and it has so far it has not let me down on starting will I keep it? not sure at this time

  Head bolts 98 aurora - 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By browneyez - October 24 - 11:50 am

  I love my 98 aurora. I have 225,000 miles and still looking good. I did blow a head gasket from broken water pump. When I replaced the gaskets I ran into a problem when the head bolts were stripped out. Do not buy the heli coils they will not work and you will waste a lot of money. the only kit I found to work is the Time Sert Big Serts. The cost is high but the kit is complete and now that the job is done my favorite car is back on the road running like a champ.

  Best K/G body ever - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By DBurden - October 10 - 10:20 am

  This car is highly underated. The Aurora has great grip and handling for a 3800 lb auto. The auto leveling suspension in rear takes the roll out of corning. High speed cornering is no problem. The more you dial in the tighter the grip get. Steering is better than expect. I plan on taking this car to summit point raceway to further evaluate its ability.

  Too bad GM didnt advertise this car - 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By kjb501 - October 5 - 10:00 am

  We purchased our 03 Aurora with all options - trading a 99. We wanted the last of a great line of automobiles from Olds. Overall were pleased with this car. The fit and finish are excellent, save for a flimsy headliner. Only 2000 miles on the new car - too soon to know reliability. The car was delivered almost perfect, except a missing ashtray. Dealer ordered it a month ago - hasnt arrived. We feel this car is one of the better cars GM has produced. We wanted a "final 500" edition, but the badges looked cheap. Why GM never ran a TV campaign for this car is a mystery. The brand identity is ?. Thats a real shame.

  Take a look elsewhere - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Ruthie - August 8 - 2:00 am

  Take a look at the door gaskets on the Oldsmobile Intrigue and then look at the gaskets on this vehicle and you will understand why the Aurora creates an excessive amount of wind noise when driving at speeds over 55mph. Not only are they thin, but there is only one, instead of being doubled, like they are on the Intrigue. Poor quality of workmanship was evident thourghout the exterior and intrerior of this vechile.

  Disappointment - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By judye - August 7 - 7:36 am

  Wish I hadnt purchased it. Its been a money pit, since I bought it 2 1/2 years ago. Got a great deal on it, or so I thought-even bought the less expensive extended warranty from GM. Thats where the deal ended.The car has been in and out of the shop.So far, I have spent over $3,000 on repairs. Towed 5 times-for no starts,window & wiper motors, theft system faults, constant oil leaks-change every 3,000 mi.& add a quart every month, pollution equipment, peeling chrome rims-to name a few. 90% of repairs arent covered under the warranty."Should have bought the more expensive one." I did like this car-nice ride, comfortable, luxurious. Nothing but regrets-too expensive to maintain.

  Adios GM - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Treepusher - June 7 - 1:23 pm

  Saying goodbye to GM after four Oldsmobiles and five years with the Aurora. A beauty. Loved it on the highway, stable, responsive, and extremely comfortable. Body and paint stayed in great condition, but way too much time in shop for repeated steering, water pump, transmission and other problems. Interior bulbs blew at regular intervals, spent half of ownership with check engine light on. First name basis with all of dealers service personnel. Greatly enjoyed the car despite the problems and will miss the design, but after thirty years of buying American, have had enough of GMs hit or miss reliability.
