NHTSA complaint #11085099 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE:BODY
I HAVE A 2002 OLDS AURORA THAT TODAY HAS WATER STANDING IN THE BACK PASSENGER FLOORBOARD FOR THE TENTH OR TWELFTH TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MUCH THAT I HAVE LOST TRACK OF HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. WHEN IT RAINS WATER LEAKS IN FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER WIDOW SEAL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WINDOW ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN AND THEN RUNS DOWN TO THE MOLDING AT DOOR OPENING AT THE FLOORBOARD. FROM THERE IT THEN RUNS DIAGONALLY BACK TOWARD THE BACK PASSENGER FLOORBOARD ALONG THE MOLDING AND POOLS UP. LIKE THIS MORNING, THERE HAS BEEN MANY TIMES THAT TWO INCHES OF WATER IS PRESENT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MILDEW OR ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS THAT MAY BE PRESENT OR MAY SHOW UP AS A RESULT OF THIS CONTINUAL PROBLEM. THE DEALER DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE A CLUE ON HOW TO FIX THIS, ORIGINALLY THEY KEPT REPLACING THE DOOR SEAL ON THE BACK DOOR. NOW FOR SOME TIME THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SEAL ON THE FRONT DOOR OR FRONT WINDOW. BUT THE LEAK CONTINUES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A TSB ON THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER TELLS ME TODAY THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ISSUES LIKE MINE IN OTHER AURORA MODELS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THREE WINDOW REGULATORS ON MY 2001 OLDSMOBILE AURORA. ALL HAVE GONE OUT BESIDES THE DRIVER WINDOW. THE TWO REAR WINDOWS ACTUALLY DROPPED DOWN INTO THE TRACK WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. NOW BOTH THE FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS ARE STUCK IN THE UP POSITION, AS IF THE WINDOW MOTORS ARE OUT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE NUMEROUS SAME PARTS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WITH THIS VEHICLE. TRANSMISSION INPUT SPEED SENSOR (TWICE), LEFT BANK AIR VALVE (TWICE), RIGHT BANK AIR VALVE (ONCE), THERE IS WATER THAT GETS INTO THE SPARE TIRE WELL IN THE TRUNK (WAS REMEDIED ONCE BUT HAS SINCE CAME BACK ). THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN NO MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THE BUMPER DID HAVE TO GET REPAINTED AS ANOTHER CAR WAS PUSHED INTO MINE, BUT ASIDE FROM THAT NOTHING ELSE. THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT IS ALWAYS HAVING TO BE LUBED DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT (COSTING THE CONSUMER $125 EVERY 30,000 MILES OR SO). YOU WONDER WHY PEOPLE ARE NOT BUYING AMERICAN CARS. MY NEXT ONE WILL LIKELY BE A HONDA JUST BECAUSE GM DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. TOO MANY PROBLEMS THAT ARE SIMILAR WHEN YOU TALK TO OTHER OWNERS, BUT GM DOES NOTHING EVEN WHEN THEY KNOW OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. WITH THE 2001 AURORA, GM SHOULD BE RECALLING THE ISSUES WITH THE WINDOWS BECAUSE NO OWNER SHOULD HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CHANGE OUT WINDOW REGULATORS AND MOTORS, NOR IS IT SAFE.

POOL OF WATER LOCATED IN SPARE TIRE WELL IN THE TRUNK OF CAR. IT COULD BE DUE TO FAULTY WEATHER STRIPING ON THE REAR WINDOW OF THE CAR BUT THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK IS UNCLEAR.

MY FRONT PASS DOOR LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE OPENNED UNTIL THE SERVICE DEPT TOOK THE INSIDE DOOR PANEL OFF. I ASKED THEM WHAT WOULD I DO IN AN ACCIDENT ? I PAID TO REPLACE PART THAT FAILED. CALLED OLDS EDGE HOT LINE AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CONCERNED. AFTER MORE THOUGHT, I PAID TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE REPLACED. THAT HAPPENED IN 1997 BUT SINCE I'M AWAY FROM HOME, I DON'T HAVE TRUE MILEAGE AND DATES OF OCCURRENCES. I FEEL THIS IS AS SERIOUS FAILURES AS THE BACK SEAT BELTS NOT WORKING NHTSA 00V057000. IMAGINE YOURSELF IN A CAR IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOOR LOCKS. FORTUNATELY, NOW I KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO ME. IT'S SCARY THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENS. EVEN THE MECHANICS AT OLDS WERE PUZZLED BY IT. LAST MONTH, MY DRIVER DOOR STARTED LOCKING, AND IT LOCKED AGAIN YESTERDAY. SINCE I'M AWAY FROM HOME, I HAVEN'T GOT IT REPAIRED AGAIN. BELIEVE ME THIS IS VERY SERIOUS SINCE THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS AND MY DRIVING IS ALMOST 100% EXPRESSWAY DRIVING.
