general problems of the 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora

The vehicle was parked and once I put it into reverse to back out of the parking space, the engine locked up and the steering, brakes, gas didn't work. I had to take the key out of the ignition and restart it. This is the third time that I've had this issue within the last 3 months and the previous 2 instances occurred while the vehicle was actually moving and accelerating. I have had some extremely close calls that could have ended very dangerously because of this issue. I use my car keys without any other keys attached, so that it's as lightweight as possible. In the past year, this same exact issue has happened 8 times and is beginning to occur more and more frequently. I would really appreciate some recognition of this issue.

When slowing down to accommodate another car, my vehicle began unable to accelerate and then I noticed that the brakes had locked up as well. I had to take the key out of the car and restart it for it to work again.

While slowing my speed to get onto the ramp to the expressway, my steering wheel locked completely and wouldn't allow me to turn. Additionally my pedals stopped working and my car came to a stop. I had to turn the car completely off and restart it.

I was slowing down at a stoplight, decreasing my speed, alternately using the brake and coasting. The steering wheel then locked up and the pedals stopped working and the car completely stopped. I had to turn the engine totally off and restart it for it to work again.

While coming to a stop at a stoplight, the steering wheel seized up and the pedals locked. The engine stopped. I had to turn the car off and then start it again.

I was stopped at a light with my vehicle running. Suddenly and without warning flames came out of my dashboard burning my hands.

The contact owns a 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora. The contact stated that the 2001 Aurora's are not included in NHTSA campaign id number 09v116000; however, her vehicle is experiencing the same failures. She would like the manufacturer to add the Auroras to the recall and receive reimbursement for the repairs. The current and failure mileages were 85,167. Updated 05/07/09. The consumer stated oil was lekaing from the valve cover. Updated 05/07/09.

While driving car cuts out, engine stops. No power. After over 3 weeks of returning car to dealer 3 times, the dealer finally replaced a cylinder and the ignition switch. Total cost to $1,200. 00.

Where to even begin with this 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora v8 so many problems with this car. Right now it smells like it's on fire. I see where gm had a recall last yr but the Aurora is not included, and it should be recalled. It also lunges forward when stopped at a light , it also dies when driving it.

After reviewing the complaints of the Oldsmobile Aurora 2001 I am having similar problems regarding check engine when going into the dealership to have service they still state that there is nothing wrong when I know that there was something wrong with the vehicle.
