1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA Complaints

THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE PLASTIC TUBE BETWEEN EACH FUEL INJECTOR LINE, AND IS LEAKING FUEL ONTO THE ENGINE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *MR THE CONSUMER STATED THERE IS NO FUEL RAIL BUT A PLASTIC TUBE BETWEEN EACH FUEL INJECTOR, INSPECTION REVEALED A PRIOR LEAKAGE IN THIS AREA WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN PATCHED, THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. *SCC

FAILURE OF COMPUTER WHICH CONTROLS FUEL INJECTION. PROBLEM IS MOST NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEEDS, AS WHEN APPROACHING OTHER AUTOS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR VERY SLOW SPEED DRIVING. WHEN PRESSURE IS RELEASED FROM ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE FUEL CONTROLLER INCREASES FUEL FLOW FOR 0.3 TO 1.0 SECOND THEN SLOWLY REDUCES FLOW TO NORMAL IDLE SPEED. ENGINE SPEED INCREASES IN THIS PROCESS (WITH TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO NUETRAL TO OBSERVE IT) 500 TO 1500 RPM. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WORSE AT ELEVATED AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. (ABOVE 80 DEGREES, F.) THIS IS A HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND SEVERAL TIMES REAR-END COLLISIONS HAVE BEEN NARROWLY AVERTED. COMMUNICATION WITH OLDSMOBILE'S CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICE HAVE BEEN MET WITH RUDENESS AND THE PLAINLY STATED POSITION THAT THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN ADDRESSING PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLES OUT OF WARRANTY OR OWNED BY AFTERMARKET OWNERS. *AK

FUEL RAIL LEAKS, OLDS DEALER CAN NOT GET PART FROM GMC. DEALER SAW 3 FAILURES LAST MONTH. *AK

THE FUEL RAIL IS COMPOSED OF PLASTIC SECTIONS OF TUBING CONNECTING THE FUEL INJECTORS. THESE SECTIONS DEVELOP SPLITS ALLOWING FUEL TO SPRAY ALL OVER THE ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR. BOTH TIMES I REPLACED THE BAD SECTIONS WITH RUBBER HOSE AND CLAMPS. I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ADDRESSED EVERY ONE OF THESE CARS WILL DEVELOP THE PROBLEM AT SOME POINT IN TIME, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC FIRES.

GAS LEAK/FUMES FROM HIGH PRESSURE RETURN FUEL LINE. VEHICLE COULD INGNITE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING.*AK

WHILE DRIVING SMELLED GAS, STEAM WAS COMING FROM HOOD. PULLED OVER, THERE WAS GAS ALL OVER THE TOP OF ENGINE.CONTACTED DEALER. FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM BROKE AND WAS LEAKING GAS. *AK

FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLY PLASTIC HOSE DEVELOPED A HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LEAK, SPRAYING GASOLINE ON TOP OF ENGINE.*AK

CONSUMER STATES WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED BY THE DEALER, THEY ALSO INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET BECAUSE COOLANT WAS GETTING INTO THE ENGINE OIL COMPARTMENT. MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. *JB CRACK IN THE CYLINDER WALL CAUSED THE ANTIFREEZE TO ENTER THE ENGINE RENDERING THE ENGINE USELESS. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED AND THE CUSTOMER BELIEVES THE VEHICLE HAD A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *YH

CONSUMER STATES THE FUEL PUMP FAILED WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHWAY SPEED OF 50 MPH. DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. *JB CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE STOPPED WITH NO STEERING OR BRAKES. *YH

THE PLASTIC CONNECTOR OF THE FUEL RAIL RUPTURED AND GASOLINE WAS SPRAYED ON HOT ENGINE. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE LOOKED AT CLOSELY!!! MY WIFE AND SON WERE DRIVING THE CAR AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED...THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. I THINK THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE.
