1995 Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0 liter from North America
Summary:
I hated it, It hated me
Faults:
Transmission slams into gear when shifting.$2500. Rack was going out on the steering $2500. Replaced Two motor mounts $800. air condition compressor
$2000. Window molding around rear window $800.Trunk/fuel buttons on dash replaced twice $140.Transmission module replaced $340. Water pump $500.Remote door openers never work will when close to car. Car seem to always run hot.
General Comments:
This car always drove very nice, but much to expensive to repair. I think GM should never released this car until it was tested better. I don't think any one should buy one of these no matter the price.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

The Auroras are an awesome car! It seems as though you got a lemon. There are ways of fighting GM on the recall. Also, since you're internet savvy, check on the class action lawsuits regarding Dex Cool, the crappy orange anti-freeze they used.
I just bought a '95, and already own a '98. I joined a great on-line group: http://aurorah.proboards.com/
Look into the group! I look forward to following your progress. I don't know if they will let me post my email here or edit it out: ted.copeland1@verizon.net
But try to keep me updated.
The love/hate relationship with GM continues!...
