1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA Complaints

FUEL RAIL PLASTIC CONNECTOR SPRUNG FUEL LEAK; SPRAYING FUEL OVER HOT ENGINE; COULD HAVE CAUSED FIRE AND EXPLOSION; LUCKY IT DID NOT. I SEE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM, WHICH SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. WHAT WILL MANUFACTURER DO FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF REPAIR EXPENSES?*AK

FUEL LINES LEAK AT THE FITTINGS, CAUSING FUEL TO SPRAY OVER ENGINE. DEALER HAS REPLACED FUEL LINES PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, AND THE PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED. *AK

DURING THE RECENT FLOOD IN HOUSTON, SOME WATER GOT INTO MY OLDS AURORA. NOW, ONCE THE DOORS ARE LOCKED, THEY CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. THE FRONT DOORS CAN BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE IF YOU HAVE A KEY! THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN WHICH SOMEONE CAN LITERALLY BECOME TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR. ALL LOCKS SHOULD OPERATE MANUALLY! THE LOCKS IN MY CAR WORKED WELL BEFORE THE WATER SEEPED IN. NOW THEY WILL NOT OPEN THE DOORS AT ALL!

FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM HAS DEVELOPED PIN HOLES WHICH IS ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK ONTO ENGINE. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

PLASTIC FUEL LINE AT ENGINE ATTACHMENT SPRANK PINHOLE LEAK SPRAYING STREAM OF GAS INTO ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THIS IS DANGEROUS! DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. DESIGN DEFECT TO USE PLASTIC THAT IS BECOMING BRITTLE AND FATIGUED WITH AGE. AT LEAST 6 REPORTS ON 1995 BUT ONLY 1 ON 1996.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDER HOOD. VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. FIRST, HEARD POP, THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THEN THE DRIVER RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT IN REVERSE GEAR THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION AND THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE.

ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON...RPM'S RANDOMLY GO UP AND DOWN CAUSING VEHICLE TO SURGE AND/OR STALL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ALSO, TRANS. JURKS BETWEEN 45-60MPH. DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. NOTHING CAN BE DONE.
