1995 Oldsmobile Aurora review from North America
"A wallet busting nightmare!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The computer failed.
Transmission would lurch into gear. Other transmission problems.
Air Conditioning failed.
Various other problems that the new owner agreed to deal with. (Thank God!)
General comments?
From transmission problems due to a $2.00 part that would take $1000.00s of dollars in labor to reach, to wiring and computer gremlins, this was the worst wallet busting POS I ever had by far. I should have known that I had a unreliable vehicle when I started getting followed by tow trucks.
Seriously, take the reviews here to heart. Want more proof of how bad this car is, go to automotiveforums.com. This car was not a big seller comparatavely. But look at the number and seriousness of the problems described there as compared to other cars. Oldsmobile deserved to bite the dust with this crapper.
If only the car were reliable. I never had a car with a better combination of comfort, performance, and amenities. I should have known there was something wrong with this car when I bought one in pristine condition with only 26,000 miles for only $6000.00. From now on, as a result, I will always look into the reliability of any car I buy. Goodby Oldsmobile and good riddance. If GM doesn't get their act together, they might be heading for the same fate.
