1996 Oldsmobile Aurora review from North America
"Will never buy another one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air Flow sensor went out 2 weeks after purchase. Dealer repaired, but would have been VERY costly.
Tires-400.00 after 1 year-front only. Broken spark plug wire-80.00 and tune up-400.00. Spark plug misfiring 1 week after repaired and ANOTHER crack in wire!
Check Engine light won't turn off and no one can tell me the problem.
Sluggish off the line and the RPM needle bounces-along with the car when at a light, in gear or in neutural.
Rear seat belt inoperable.
Front strut issues, but have not fixed due to cost-1000.00 at a minimum!
General comments?
WAY TO EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR!!!
Comfortable ride when driving well.
