“My check engine light came on when I was on the free way when all of sudden as I slowed down my car lost power and control. I skid across the freeway and almost got killed.

NHTSA complaint #10090788, filed 2004-09, 75,000 miles“Tried to start vehicle, vehicle backfired. A few minutes later, I noticed that smoke was coming out from under the car, and the ice on the vehicle was melting. I opened the hood and discovered that the engine was on fire. I was able to extinguish the fire with a blanket.”
NHTSA complaint #10108380, filed 2005-02, 90,000 miles“On january 28, 2004 my 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora spontaneously caught fire in my driveway. I had just left the car after pulling the car to the top of the driveway and my wife was about to enter the car to go to work when she saw a flash, then smoke. The car subsequently became engulfed in flames. Fortunately we were not injured. Our insurance company is declaring the car a total loss. My second car.... A 1997 seville sts...along with the Aurora is mentioned in a report posted on msnbc on nov. 4th. …”
NHTSA complaint #10056992, filed 2004-02, 112,730 miles“My 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora developed a fuel leak along the fuel rail which could have resulted in an engine fire. My mechanic stated he didn't know what kept the car from catching on fire.”
NHTSA complaint #10045464, filed 2003-11, 143,838 miles“I am having continuous problems with losing power between 1500 and 3000 rpms at any speed. The car will sputter and jerk then once out of the range of 3000 RPM the car seems to regain the power that it didn't have earlier. The electric system has never shut down completely and the check engine light has only come on three times then gone off again not to return until months later. I have not had an accident related to this problem yet. But I am afraid that one time I will be trying to get across an intersection and I will lose power and get hit.”
