Oldsmobile Aurora owners have reported a total of 633 problems for their cars built in the 8 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Oldsmobile Aurora. The 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora cars have the most problems reported (181 problems).
| Model Year | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| 2003 Aurora | |
| 2002 Aurora | |

The following chart shows the 23 most common problems for Oldsmobile Aurora cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's fuel system, gasoline (105 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's electrical system (90 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Oldsmobile Aurora of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Aurora model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Oldsmobile Aurora model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
Another way to measure the reliability across the model years of the Oldsmobile Aurora is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
